Deploy Docker on Tensel

Connect a GitHub repo and push. The rest is handled. No DevOps required.

How Docker is detected

Detection
a `Dockerfile` at the build root — it wins over every other rule
Runs as
your image, built as written, in a serverless container in Paris

From repo to URL

  1. 1

    Import the repository — “tensel github import” or the dashboard — or drop a folder, no git required.

  2. 2

    Tensel detects Docker, builds in a disposable virtual machine and publishes an immutable image.

  3. 3

    Your application answers over HTTPS on its tensel.cloud subdomain; every later push redeploys.

Good to know

  • A repository that ships a Dockerfile knows best: toolchain resolution and framework detection step aside entirely.
  • Your app must listen on the port the platform provides (PORT). Every framework's production server does this by default.
  • Environments scale to zero on the Free plan; always-on keeps an instance resident from the Personal plan up.
