Deployment planner

The planner turns what you know about your deployment into the steps and files to run it. There are three ways in:

• Simple asks about a dozen questions, starting from a typical setup if one fits yours. Every question it leaves out takes the answer the docs recommend, or the broker's default where they recommend none, and the result says how many it left that way so you can review them in Advanced.
• Advanced asks every question, one chapter at a time, and ends with a browser over every setting of the configuration. A value you set there wins over the planner's.
• Check my configuration asks nothing. Paste or drop an andromeda.toml, an environment file or both, and it lists the keys the broker doesn't know, the values it refuses, the rules the configuration breaks, the settings that repeat their default and the settings the environment overrides. Nothing you paste leaves your browser, and a password is hidden as soon as it is pasted and never kept. From the report you can open Advanced with the answers your files give.

Most questions can be answered Not sure. The planner then takes the answer the docs recommend, or the broker's default, and lists the question under Decisions to revisit.

A plan gives a checklist of steps, each with the page that covers it, and the warnings that apply. Next to them are andromeda.toml and andromeda.env, a Docker Compose file, a docker run command or notes for a platform that gives one port, a configuration for nginx, Caddy or Traefik, the SQL for the broker's role, the PostgreSQL settings (how the PostgreSQL image tunes itself to the memory and CPUs you give it, or the same settings as one include file for a server of your own), commands that verify the running setup, and a starting list of alerts. Each file downloads on its own, or all of them together as a zip.

The answers are kept in the page address, so you can share a setup or come back to it. Choosing a setup explains the decisions behind the questions, and Configuration lists every setting.

How do you want to plan?

• SimpleA short set of questions. Every other question takes the answer the docs recommend, or the broker's default where they recommend none.12 to 15 questions
• AdvancedEvery question the planner asks, one chapter at a time, and a browser over every setting of the configuration at the end.Up to 84 questions
• Check my configurationPaste an andromeda.toml or an environment file you already have, and see what the broker would ignore or refuse. Nothing leaves your browser.No questions
