  • You can leave Continuous Deployment On if you want upgrades to happen automatically, or turn it back to Off (and save) to control upgrades manually yourself.

Follow these instructions to install flyctl on your computer. You also need to install git if you’re using a Windows computer.

Note for Windows: you might experience issues with Git Bash or PowerShell, try an elevated command prompt.

  • Log in Fly.io:

    flyctl auth login

  • Verify your Nightscout app name, use it to replace example-ns in the following lines.

    flyctl app list

  • Verify your app current region (three letters code) and make sure it’s in the free tier.

    flyctl app list

  • Navigate to the cgm-remote-monitor folder from which you deployed Nightscout on your computer. Verify it contains the fly.toml configuration file you used to deploy your site.

    • If you don’t see this file, recover it:

      flyctl config save --app example-ns

  • If you migrated from Heroku using the wizard, or if you can’t find this folder on your computer, follow the next steps to recover your Fly.io configuration:

    • Fork a copy of the Nightscout repository and change directory

      git clone https://github.com/nightscout/cgm-remote-monitor

      cd cgm-remote-monitor

    • Download a default fly.toml configuration file

      flyctl config save --app example-ns

  • Update your Nightscout repository

    git pull

  • Edit your fly.toml configuration and search this section:

[[services]]
  protocol = "tcp"
  internal_port = 8080
  processes = ["app"]
  • Change the internal port value to 1337, do not change anything else, do not remove the spaces before internal_port.

    internal_port = 1337

  • Save the fly.toml file.

  • Deploy Nightscout:

    flyctl launch

  • Wait until completion, you site should now be running the latest Nightscout version.

Updating existing machines in 'example-ns' with rolling strategy
