Getting Started with JovianX
To get started creating your managed SaaS with JovianX, create your first application blueprint. You can start by cloning the Hello SaaS World example blueprint from GitHub.
git clone [email protected]:jovian-x/hello-world-saas-app.git
Review the application manifest file (a YAML file named
jovianx.yaml). The application manifest has 2 main sections: the first is Components which declares service components with their properties, and the second is settings_descriptors which allows end-users to choose settings and control properties on signup.To review the application manifest file use cat command:
cat hello-world-saas-app/jovianx.yaml
hello-world-saas-app/jovianx.yaml
# JovianX API Compatibility
# v1
jovianx_api_version: v1
# Name of this SaaS application
# string
application_name: hello-world-app
# version of this JovianX blueprint
# semantic versioning
version: 1.0.0
...
An application blueprint is a
*.tar.gz archive that contains an application manifest file(jovianx.yaml) in it's root directory, and also includes all the helm chart directories referenced in the application manifest Jovianx.yaml file.Review the files in the blueprint:
tree hello-world-saas-app/
hello-world-saas-app/
├── jovianx.yaml
├── LICENSE
├── mongodb-chart
│ ├── Chart.yaml
│ ├── values.yaml
│ └── ...
├── node-chart
│ ├── Chart.yaml
│ ├── values.yaml
│ └── ...
├── README.md
...
7 directories, 39 files
Create a
tar.gz archive with the application manifest file(jovianx.yaml).cd hello-world-saas-app/
tar -czvf blueprint.tar.gz jovianx.yaml node-chart/ mongodb-chart/ values/
NOTE: Make sure the the application manifest file (file named
jovinax.yaml is in the root of the archive file, and also that the archive includes all referenced helm charts as non-archived directories.You can name the blueprint archive any name you like, the best practice is to include the application name and version in the filename, i.e `myapp_blueprint_4.13.0.tar.gz`.
Push the application blueprint to JovianX via the UI, or via API.
Push Blueprint via API / CURL

curl -u '<ACCOUNT_API_KEY>:<ACCOUNT_API_SECRET>' -F '[email protected]' 'https://<YOUR ACCOUNT NAME>.jovianx.app/api/v1/upload_blueprint'

ACCOUNT_API_KEY and ACCOUNT_API_SECRET in the blueprints page under Upload a new Blueprint card. You can also integrate the push operation with your CI workflow.NOTE: You can also set the blueprint as ACTIVE by adding the querystring
