# Analog Static Hello World 

A complete [Analog](https://analogjs.org) Hello World recipe for [Zerops](https://zerops.io) — deploying the Angular meta-framework as a static SPA compiled by Vite and served by Nginx. Includes ready-made environment configurations for the full development lifecycle, from AI agents and remote development through stage and production.

### Available Environments

- [AI Agent](https://app.zerops.io/recipes/analog-static-hello-world.md?environment=ai-agent)
- [Remote (CDE)](https://app.zerops.io/recipes/analog-static-hello-world.md?environment=remote-cde)
- [Local](https://app.zerops.io/recipes/analog-static-hello-world.md?environment=local)
- [Stage](https://app.zerops.io/recipes/analog-static-hello-world.md?environment=stage)
- **Small Production** ← current
- [Highly-available Production](https://app.zerops.io/recipes/analog-static-hello-world.md?environment=highly-available-production)

### Services in this Environment

**Services:**

- **core** (core:single@2)
  - Containers: 1 × Shared Core, 0.00 GB RAM, 0 GB Disk
- **app** (alpine/static@1.0)
  - Containers: 2 × Shared Core, 0.38 GB RAM, 1 GB Disk
  - Repository: [zerops-recipe-apps/analog-static-hello-world-app](https://github.com/zerops-recipe-apps/analog-static-hello-world-app)

**Total Resources:** 3 containers, 0.75 GB RAM, 2 GB Disk

### One-Click Deploy (Import YAML)

Use this YAML with `zcli project import` to deploy this environment:

```yaml
# Analog Hello World — Small Production environment.
# Production-ready setup optimized for moderate throughput.
# Two containers provide availability and distribute load.
project:
  name: analog-static-hello-world-small-prod

services:
  - hostname: app
    type: static
    # 'prod' setup: Vite compiles Analog to static HTML/CSS/JS;
    # Nginx serves the output. Build-time env vars are baked into
    # the bundle — no runtime process reads them after deploy.
    zeropsSetup: prod
    # buildFromGit triggers a build/deploy pipeline: Zerops pulls source
    # code and zerops.yaml from this public repo automatically.
    buildFromGit: https://github.com/zerops-recipe-apps/analog-static-hello-world-app
    enableSubdomainAccess: true
    # Always run at least 2 containers for availability and load distribution.
    minContainers: 2
    # Zerops auto-scales RAM within these bounds.
    # minFreeRamGB reserves headroom for Nginx workers and traffic spikes —
    # without it the container gets exactly minRam and may OOM under load.
    verticalAutoscaling:
      minRam: 0.25
      minFreeRamGB: 0.125

```

## Next Steps

After deploying one of the environments and getting to know Zerops, you have two paths to choose from:

1. **Template Flow** — Clone our GitHub repositories and use the whole recipe as a template
2. **Integrate Flow** — If you already have an existing application on a similar stack, integrate the recipe setup with your application

Select a flow: [Template Flow](https://app.zerops.io/recipes/analog-static-hello-world.md?environment=small-production&guideFlow=template) or [Integrate Flow](https://app.zerops.io/recipes/analog-static-hello-world.md?environment=small-production&guideFlow=integrate)

Both flows are shown below:

## How to take over the Small Production environment

### 📦 Clone the template repositories

Fork or clone the following repositories to your local machine or GitHub account:

- [zerops-recipe-apps/analog-static-hello-world-app](https://github.com/zerops-recipe-apps/analog-static-hello-world-app)

### 1. Find your service name

Many commands and configurations need the exact name of your service. You can find it in the Zerops Dashboard.

- Open your project in the Zerops Dashboard.
- In the project overview, find the service you want to manage.
- Use this exact name whenever a command or pipeline configuration asks for `<service-name>`.

### 2. Configure deployment pipeline

Go to Service Settings > Pipelines & CI/CD Settings in the Zerops Dashboard and connect your repository.

For production, use a trigger on new tags. This keeps deployments intentional and tied to a specific version. You can also add a regex filter, such as `^v[0-9]+\.[0-9]+\.[0-9]+$`, if you want to allow only semantic version tags.

<img src="https://storage-prg1.zerops.io/4gfos-storage/triggerborder_b865860a89.jpg" style="display: block; margin: 0 auto;" alt="Zerops GUI: Triggers" width="500" />

Alternatively, add `zcli push` to your existing CI/CD pipeline if you want full control over when deployments happen.

Learn more about pipeline triggers: https://docs.zerops.io/features/pipeline

### 3. Deploy to production

Create and push a new Git tag to deploy a specific version of your app:

```bash
git tag -a v1.0.0 -m "Release version 1.0.0"
git push origin v1.0.0
```

> [!TIP]
> Open the pipeline detail in the Zerops Dashboard to check the build progress and verify that all steps finish successfully.

### 4. Configure autoscaling

Review the autoscaling settings for your runtime services and databases in Service Settings > Automatic Scaling Configuration in the Zerops Dashboard.

<img src="https://storage-prg1.zerops.io/4gfos-storage/scaling_ac0880aef5.png" style="display: block; margin: 0 auto;" alt="Zerops GUI: Autoscaling configuration" width="500" />

The most important settings are:

```yaml
verticalAutoscaling:
  minRam: 1
  minFreeRamGB: 0.5
  minFreeRamPercent: 20
```

> [!CAUTION]
> Pay attention to `minFreeRamGB`. This value tells Zerops when to scale RAM vertically. Adjust it based on your app’s real memory needs. RAM scales up immediately, while CPU scales after two consecutive measurements below the threshold.

> [!TIP]
> Run a quick stress test with a tool like hey before real users arrive. This helps you see how your app behaves under load and tune the autoscaling settings.

### 5. Set up your domain

To send real traffic to your app, configure public HTTP access in Service Settings > Public Access & Internal Ports in the Zerops Dashboard.

Add your custom domain and point your DNS records to the Zerops IPs shown in the dashboard:

<img src="https://storage-prg1.zerops.io/4gfos-storage/subdomain_8cafd801e8.jpg" style="display: block; margin: 0 auto;" alt="Zerops GUI: Public access and custom domain" width="500" />

```text
Type   Name          Content          TTL
A      example.com   <zerops-ipv4>    Auto
AAAA   example.com   <project-ipv6>   Auto
```

For wildcard domains, add a CNAME record for SSL validation.

Check the public access documentation: https://docs.zerops.io/features/access

> [!TIP]
> When changing DNS records for production, start with a low TTL value. Make sure SSL certificates are active before you disable the fallback Zerops subdomain.

Once everything works, you can disable the Zerops subdomain so all traffic goes through your custom domain.

### 🎉 You are good to go!

Your application is live in production and the core setup is complete.

The following sections are optional. They cover extra production features such as log forwarding, backups, and diagnostic access. You can stop here and come back later when you need them.

---

### 6. Set up log forwarding (Optional)

To send logs to an external service, go to Project Settings > Log Forwarding & Logs Overview in the Zerops Dashboard.

You can forward logs to services like Better Stack, Papertrail, or your own self-hosted solution.

Learn more about log forwarding: https://docs.zerops.io/references/logging

### 7. Configure database backups (Optional)

Manage automated encrypted backups in Service Settings > Backups in the Zerops Dashboard.

By default, backups run daily between 00:00 and 01:00 UTC.

Before a major deployment, create a manual protected backup:

```bash
zcli backup create <db-service> --tags pre-deploy,protected
```

Read the backup documentation for more options: https://docs.zerops.io/features/backup

### 8. Set up diagnostic access (Optional)

Use zCLI and VPN access when you need to inspect or maintain services directly.

For runtime services:

```bash
zcli vpn up
ssh <service-name>.zerops
```

For databases, connect through the VPN to reach the project’s private network, or set up secure direct IP access for your database admin tools.

Check the VPN documentation: https://docs.zerops.io/references/cli/commands#vpn-up

## How to integrate app with Zerops

### 1. Adding `zerops.yaml`
The main application configuration file you place at the root of your repository, it tells Zerops how to build, deploy and run your application.

```yaml
zerops:
  # Production setup — build Analog with Node.js, serve static output via Nginx.
  # The dev setup below uses Node.js at runtime so developers can run the
  # dev server via SSH.
  - setup: prod
    build:
      # Build with Node.js (npm/npx), serve with Nginx.
      # The build container compiles Analog into static HTML/CSS/JS —
      # Node.js is NOT present at runtime.
      base: nodejs@22

      buildCommands:
        - npm ci
        # RUNTIME_ prefix lets runtime env vars reach the build shell.
        # VITE_* vars are baked into the bundle at build time — there is
        # no runtime process to read env vars in static deployments.
        - VITE_APP_ENV=${RUNTIME_APP_ENV:-production} npm run build

      # Strip dist/analog/public/ prefix — contents become the Nginx root.
      # dist/analog/public/index.html → /index.html in the served tree.
      deployFiles:
        - dist/analog/public/~

      cache:
        - node_modules

    run:
      # Nginx serves the compiled output — no Node.js at runtime.
      # Built-in SPA fallback: unmatched routes serve /index.html,
      # so Angular Router handles client-side navigation correctly.
      base: static

  # Dev setup — deploy full source so developers can run 'npm start' via SSH.
  - setup: dev
    build:
      base: nodejs@22
      os: ubuntu
      buildCommands:
        # npm install (not ci) — dev environment may lack a lock file
        - npm install
      # Deploy full working directory — source code + node_modules
      deployFiles: ./
      cache:
        - node_modules

    run:
      # nodejs@22 runtime — developer needs Node.js to run 'npm start' via SSH
      base: nodejs@22
      os: ubuntu
      # Keep the container alive without starting any server.
      # Developer SSHes in and runs: npm start
      start: zsc noop --silent
```
