Add a backend resource

Add your first backend service to the project and see Flisk pick it up.

HANDS-ON LAB · YOU RUN IT ON YOUR MACHINE · 2 STEPS

Step 1 of 2

Add a backend called api

A resource is one service. Flisk writes its service.json for you, so you never hand-write container files.

Run this to check

flisk resource api --type backend --stack pre-alpha --path services/pre-alpha/api --yes

You pass when

Flisk says the api resource was created, and services/pre-alpha/api holds a service.json.
Step 2 of 2

Check that Flisk sees it

Run this to check

flisk status

You pass when

Stacks shows pre-alpha: 1 resource. Services stay stopped until you run flisk up pre-alpha.
