FX ▲ fx 0.9.48 ready
Poor man's function as a service
fx is a CLI, not a web app — this page exists so
Cloudron has a health endpoint and you have a landing spot (gated by the
Cloudron auth proxy). You drive fx from the app's web
terminal: open the terminal and run fx -v to confirm,
then deploy function files to your own Docker hosts or Kubernetes
clusters. Cloudron app containers have no Docker daemon, so functions
always run on the target you point fx at, never inside this
app.
| Path | Purpose |
|---|---|
/app/data/functions/ | Function sources (hello.js + hello.py starters seeded) |
/app/data/ssh/ | SSH keys for remote Docker targets (fx logs in with a key, no passwords) |
/app/data/kube/ | kubeconfig for Kubernetes targets |
Deploy to a remote Docker host (JS example):
fx up --host deploy@example.com --ssh_key /app/data/ssh/id_rsa \
--name hello /app/data/functions/hello.js
fx list --host deploy@example.com
fx down --host deploy@example.com hello
Deploy to Kubernetes (copy your kubeconfig to
/app/data/kube/config first):
export FX_KUBECONF=/app/data/kube/config fx up --name hello /app/data/functions/hello.py
Supported languages: Go, JavaScript, Python, Ruby, Java, PHP, Perl, Crystal, Rust, Julia, D. Upstream docs: github.com/metrue/fx
