DXUP

A developer-focused platform for app deployment & centralized cloud resource management.

https://dxup.dev

Developers should not be frustrated by deploying apps to the infrastructure, or bothering the DevOps engineers to help deploying it, they should fully focus on developing apps, they don't need to understand the servers, the domains, or infrastructure related stuffs.

Focus on building your apps, shipping fast, and shinning, and leave your cloud infrastructure to DXUP.

dx also means Developer Experience, and this is my number one goal - create the best experience for developers - let's make coding great again.

Getting Started

• DXUP website
• Official Workspace
• Documentation

CLI Installation

Install the package globally:

npm i @topgroup/diginext --location=global

CLI Update

• To update your CLI to the latest version: dx update or npm update @topgroup/diginext --location=global.

---

Login to your DXUP workspace:

dx login 
# is similar with:
# $ dx login https://app.dxup.dev
# in case you hosted DXUP server yourself:
# $ dx login https://<your-diginext-workspace-domain>
cd /path/to/your/app
dx init
dx up

# custom deploy
dx up --prod
dx up --prod --rollout
dx up --prod --rollout --replicas=5
dx up --prod --rollout --replicas=5 --port=3000
dx up --prod --rollout --replicas=5 --port=3000 --select-cluster
# deploy to custom environment
dx up --staging
# deploy to other cluster
dx up --cluster=[cluster-name]
# deploy without SSL
dx up --no-ssl
# deploy with custom domain
dx up --domain=[your-domain]
# deploy with custom container size
dx up --size=2x
# deploy with DX API key
dx up --api-key=[your-dx-api-key]
# redirect all other domains to the first domain (for example: no-www -> www)
dx up --redirect
# upload local .env to dxup deployment
dx up --upload-env
# delete old deployments and deploy new
dx up --fresh

That's it!

Start developing a new app from boilerplate frameworks:

dx new

Available frameworks: ✓ Next.js (Page Router) ✓ Next.js (App Router) ✓ Nest.js ✓ Bun.js Starter ✓ Express.js Starter ✓ Static website with NGINX ✓ More to come!

Running DXUP platform on your own infrastructure

Requirements:

• A server: any computers with Ubuntu, Debian or CentOS

1. With installation script

Access into your server (directly or via SSH), then run this script:

curl -sfL https://dxup.dev/install/microk8s | sh -

👉 Detailed instruction

2. With Docker Engine

• DXUP requires a MongoDB database to run the build server.

For fastest installation, I recommend to use our docker-compose.yaml, you will need to fill in some environment variables:

...
  # Add your credentials so you can use Google Sign-in to authenticate with your workspace later on:
  - GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID=
  - GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET=

Then spin up the build server with: docker compose up, it will be available at: http://localhost:6969

Access the admin (http://localhost:6969) to configure your new workspace.

On the client side, use the CLI command dx login http://your-workspace-domain.com to login to your workspace and start new app with dx new or start deploying with dx up (or dx deploy).

This is a ONE-MAN project & I've been spending a lot of time for it, although it's my hobby project, I still need beers to keep the momentum. If you enjoyed this project — or just feeling generous, consider buying me some beers. Cheers! 🍻
