Answer on Nodion: questions and answers

How do I deploy Answer on Nodion?

Sign in to Nodion, open the Answer preset and pick a project and a region. Nodion creates the app with a managed PostgreSQL database and a 10 GB volume, sets the environment variables and starts the first deploy.

Is this the same as self-hosting Answer?

You get your own Answer instance in your Nodion project. The difference: Nodion runs the servers, so there is no machine of your own to install and maintain.

How much does it cost to run Answer on Nodion?

The starting setup costs about 7 EUR per month: App DS-G2-1GB, 1 GB RAM 4 EUR, PostgreSQL DS-G2-256MB, 256 MB RAM 1.50 EUR, Volume 10 GB 1.50 EUR. Prices are net and billed per second. You can pick bigger sizes in the form.

What should I do after the first deploy?

Sign in as admin with the generated ADMIN_PASSWORD from the application environment. The email is admin@localhost. Change that password after the first login.

Which version of Answer does Nodion deploy?

The preset sets the image apache/answer:2.0.3. Your app keeps that image tag until you change it on the app's Processes tab.

Can I use my own domain for Answer?

Yes. Every app gets a default hostname with HTTPS. Add your own domain on the app's Domains tab.

Where does Answer run?

In the region you pick: EU Central (Germany), US East and US West (United States) or APAC Central (Singapore). Build, registry and runtime stay in that region.
