How to use projects in Unifie

Updated: May 20

The project in Unifie is a group of applications that should be deployed in the same k8s namespace and should be used together in some business proposal.

For example: You want to deploy a web application with several microservices for your customer. You need to deploy the Postgres database, SuperTokens and Docker containers with your application.

It makes sense to combine it to one project.

Create a new project:

1. Git configuration

Project configuration should be stored in git repository. For this propose you can create new git repo or use one of existed repos.If you use private repo – add Access Token to ginfiguration form.

Next step – git pull operation.

If git pull finished without error – you will see this page.

1. Create new service in project

Next step – create some services in your project. To make this tutorial simpler – will continue with Stateless nginx Application from kubernetes docs

Create service

Service is created

Now we need to provede specification for this service. It is a simple yaml code (not helm chart)

apiVersion: apps/v1
kind: Deployment
metadata:
  name: nginx-deployment
spec:
  selector:
    matchLabels:
      app: nginx
  replicas: 2 # tells deployment to run 2 pods matching the template
  template:
    metadata:
      labels:
        app: nginx
    spec:
      containers:
      - name: nginx
        image: nginx:1.14.2
        ports:
        - containerPort: 80
