flyctl

A convenient Node.js wrapper to interact with fly.io CLI.

Install

$ npm install flyctl --save

Usage

First, call the library passig the app name of your project:

const fly = require('flyctl')('teslahunt-api')

Once initialized, you can interact with any fly CLI command via Node.js.

You can run a one-off command:

const { stdout } = await fly('scale show')
console.log(stdout)

or pipe directly into your Node.js process using fly.stream():

fly.stream('logs')

Additionally, you can use fly.json() to return a JSON payload of the command.

This is convenient for combining multiple command and create your own commands:

const CPU_CORES = 1
const CPU_KIND = 'shared'
const MEMORY_IN_BYTES = 768
const RESTART_POLICY = 'always'

const machineList = await fly.json('machine list')
const machines = machineList.map(({ id, config }) => ({ id, zone: config.env.FLY_PROCESS_GROUP }))

for (const { id } of machines) {
  await fly(`machine update ${id} --vm-cpus ${CPU_CORES} --vm-cpu-kind ${CPU_KIND} --vm-memory=${MEMORY_IN_BYTES} --restart ${RESTART_POLICY} --yes`)
}

See examples.
