AWS

flexcal has no CloudFormation template or Marketplace listing. Deploy the container image with the AWS service that suits you.

Shape of the deployment

Piece	Suggested service
Application	ECS on Fargate, App Runner, or EC2 with Docker Compose
Database	RDS for PostgreSQL
TLS and routing	Application Load Balancer + ACM certificate
Secrets	AWS Secrets Manager or SSM Parameter Store

Steps

1. Create an RDS PostgreSQL instance in a private subnet and note its endpoint.
2. Create the task or service running docker.io/flexcal/flexcal:dev, exposing container port 3000.
3. Set the environment from Configuration. At minimum: DATABASE_URL, NEXT_PUBLIC_WEBAPP_URL, NEXTAUTH_SECRET, CALENDSO_ENCRYPTION_KEY.
4. Put an ALB in front, terminate TLS there, and forward X-Forwarded-Proto and X-Forwarded-Host (see Troubleshooting).
5. Point Route 53 at the load balancer.

Running multiple tasks

With more than one replica, run migrations once per release rather than on every container start:

SKIP_DB_MIGRATIONS=1
SKIP_APP_STORE_SEED=1

Run the migration as a one-off task before rolling out the new revision.
