flyctl: Launch an application from a specific Dockerfile (the default path is the current working directory).
$ flyctl launch --dockerfile ${path-to-dockerfile}
try on your machine
The command "flyctl launch --dockerfile ${path-to-dockerfile}" is used to launch an application using Flyctl, a command-line interface for deploying applications to the Fly platform.
Here's a breakdown of the command and its components:
- "flyctl" refers to the Flyctl command-line utility.
- "launch" is a command within Flyctl to initiate the launch process for an application.
- "--dockerfile" is a flag that specifies the path to the Dockerfile, which is a text file that contains instructions for building a Docker image.
- "${path-to-dockerfile}" is a placeholder that needs to be replaced with the actual path to the Dockerfile on your system.
By executing this command with the appropriate values, Flyctl will use the provided Dockerfile to build the Docker image for your application and launch it on the Fly platform.
