Quick Start

Exposing the service requires passing the -p flag to expose ports from the container

Running a container from a Docker image

$ rio run -p 80 --name demo nginx

# You will get an endpoint URL for your service
$ rio ps

# Access endpoint URL
curl https://demo-v0-default.xxxxx.on-rio.io

Running a container from a GitHub repository

Rio allows a user to run a container directly from source code. By pointing to git repository that contains a Dockerfile, Rio will clone the source code, build the Docker image, and deploy it into the cluster. Also Rio will watch for changes to the repo and automatically update the deployment.

$ rio run -p 8080 --name demo-2 https://github.com/rancher/rio-demo

# You will get an endpoint URL for your service
$ rio ps

# Access endpoint URL
curl https://demo-2-v0-default.xxxxx.on-rio.io
