Deploy from Container Registry

This guide walks you through the process of deploying an application from a container registry to Grid.

1
Step 1: Select a Cloud Provider

At the top of the "Deploy Application" screen:

Choose your target cloud environment:

Cloud Provider Selection

This determines where your application will be deployed once built and configured.

📢 Important Payment Information

Each cloud provider implements a unique payment methodology. Akash uses a per-second billing model, while Flux follows a prepaid approach. For comprehensive details on payment requirements and processes, please refer to the Payment Information section.

Step 2: Configure Application

  • Choose Container registry as the source.

Configure the following:

🔧
Container Image Settings

  • Service name: Unique name for your service.
  • Docker image (e.g., gridcloud/hello-app:2.0)

Choose between:

  • Public: No authentication needed.
  • Private: Requires registry credentials.

If using a private image:

  • Select registry provider (DockerHub, GitHub, etc.)
  • Enter username and personal access token.

💻
Instance Settings

Configure your runtime environment:

  • Number of instances
  • CPU, RAM, and SSD allocations

You can either:

  • Use recommended configuration, or
  • Customize manually.

Step 3: Add Environment Variables (Optional)

Each component supports custom environment variables.

  • Scroll to the Environment Variables section.
  • Add key-value pairs as needed.
  • Values are masked for security and only available to the specific component.

4
Step 4: Networking Settings (Optional)

You can expose ports for your service using the Networking section:

  • Choose the protocol (HTTP or TCP)
  • Select the port
  • Optionally assign a virtual host for routing

Each rule added appears in the list and can be edited or removed.

Step 5: Payments

Before your deployment goes live, you'll need to handle payments based on your selected cloud provider:

Akash LogoAkash: Per-Second Billing

With Akash, you'll be charged on a per-second basis. Credits are continuously deducted from your account based on resource usage.

  • Pay only for what you use
  • No upfront commitment
  • Unused credits are refundable if deployment is cancelled

Flux LogoFlux: Prepaid Model

With Flux, you'll pay upfront for the total cost of resources for a specified duration (minimum 1 week).

  • Clear upfront costs
  • Duration-based pricing
  • Simplified billing process
