Set up Aineko Cloud
Gaining access to Aineko Cloud is as simple as setting up an account with any platform.
Joining an existing project
If someone on your team has already created a project, don't worry about these steps. You should be given credentials to log in to the dashboard directly.
Creating Account
Reach out here and we'll get you started.
Logging in
After logging in for the first time, a verification email will be sent as confirmation. Verify your email and follow the link back to the Aineko Dashboard.
From here, you should see the onboarding page of the Aineko Dashboard:
Installing the Aineko GitHub App
Ensure you have a GitHub repository before proceeding
You must already have an existing GitHub repository to follow the subsequent set-up steps that link an existing GitHub repository to your Aineko Cloud account. If you need help creating a GitHub repository, follow the guide here.
GitHub Repository Owner
For security reasons, GitHub apps can only be installed by owners of a repository. For more information on GitHub apps, see the GitHub documentation.
To use Aineko Cloud, you must link it to a specific GitHub repository you're an owner of. Installing our GitHub app gives us access to your code so we can deploy it for you.
To install the Aineko GitHub App, we recommend using the button found in the onboarding page. If for some reason that button in unavailable, you can use this link to install it too.
Installing the Aineko GitHub App
Choose the organization that owns the repository you would like to use.
Choose either the specific repository you would like to use or all repositories (saves you the hassle of updating this if you would like to add more repositories in the future).
After successful installation, you will be redirected back to the Aineko Cloud dashboard.
Creating an Aineko Project
After installing the Aineko GitHub App, it's time to create your first Aineko Cloud project. On the next step, fill in the following fields:
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Project Name | An easily readable name for the project |
| GitHub Organization Name | your GitHub organization that we linked to the Aineko GitHub App |
| GitHub Repository Name | the Aineko project repository that we linked to the Aineko GitHub App |
Onboarding Form Submission
Having issues submitting the form? Check out these common fixes!
The form has 2 checks:
- Content check - form field format match github's formats
- Connection check - if the connection is successful and the intitation process is possible.
If you run into any issues, please check:
- Org Name: Does the text for the GitHub Organization Name exactly match that of the org we linked in the GitHub App step?
- Repository Name: Does the GitHub Repository Name exactly match the name of the repository we linked in the GitHub App step?
Success
Upon completion, you have kicked off the initialization process of your Aineko Cloud project.
Info
The initialization takes 60-90 minutes as we build the infrastructure necessary for an Aineko Cloud project (think networks, environments and more). Subsequent deployments of your projects are much faster - in the range of seconds to minutes.
In the meantime, we recommend:
- View the status of the initialization on the
Workflowspage - Start building and testing your Aineko applications locally (see the Aineko Documentation)
- Prepare your Aineko repository to be cloud-ready (see here)
