Source Options

A web service is any HTTP container you run on lowcloud. That could be a backend API, a frontend, or a worker that exposes a metrics port. This page covers how to configure one and how deploys work.

Source Options

When you create a web service, the Source Code picker offers three tabs.

Git Provider

Install the lowcloud GitHub App on your account or organization, then pick a repository and branch. Private repositories work without extra credentials. lowcloud clones the repository at deploy time on an isolated build machine.

Public Git Repository

For public repositories on any Git host. Paste the clone URL and the branch you want to deploy. No authentication is performed, so this only works for fully public repositories.

Existing Image

Run a pre-built image directly from a container registry, no build step required. Paste the full image reference (e.g. registry.example.com/team/app:1.4.2). For private registries, tick Requires authentication and supply a username and password. Credentials are encrypted before storage.
