Welcome to Fly Launch. fly launch scans your project and, for most common languages and frameworks, generates a Dockerfile and configuration for you. You don’t need to write a Dockerfile first. If your project already has one, Fly Launch can use it instead. To deploy your app on Fly.io for the first time:
  1. Install flyctl – the open-source Fly.io CLI.
  2. Create an account with fly auth signup or log in with fly auth login.
  3. Run fly launch from inside your project source directory to create, configure, and (for most apps) deploy a new application.
  4. If prompted, run fly deploy to deploy your new app (or to redeploy after changes!).
