Using the CLI, you can port-forward deployments to access them securely without having to expose them to the public internet

Introduction

Any application of any size, language or framework can be deployed to Hop. Deployments are Ignite's primary abstraction - containers run inside them

Deploying to Hop

Elixir Cluster

The Hop CLI allows you to manage and control every aspect of your Hop projects. It acts as a command-line replacement for the Hop Console with some extra features to support Hop deployments

Overview

Hop CLI supports tab completion for bash, zsh and fish

Since the CLI has a *nix download script it can be easily used in headless / continuous integration environments

Working in CI

Ignite is the pragmatic app deployment platform: deploy and scale any application worldwide.

Ignite

Gateways allow you to expose your Hop deployments to your project or the internet

Learn about how private networking works in Hop

Private Networking

Volumes allow you to persist data across containers - perserving your deployment's state after restarts

Persistent Volumes

Enable zero-downtime, fault tolerant deployments with health checks

Health Checks

Project secrets act as a global secure secret store for each project on Hop. Secrets can be referenced in Ignite deployment configs and will automatically be populated when a container starts

Project Secrets

When creating a deployment, you can specify an image from a remote registry (such as Dockerhub or GCR), or you can use the Hop Image Registry

Images

When deploying with GitHub, Hop will automatically infer your build environment and initiate a build for each push to git

SDKs

The Hop JS Client SDK allows you to interact with Hop products from your frontend application.

JS Client SDK

The Hop React library allows you to easily integrate Hop products, such as Channels and Pipe, into your frontend.

The Hop server-side JS SDK allows you to interact with all Hop products on the server side.

Server-side JS SDK

Channels allows you to easily create direct or grouped realtime message channels between users, server-side applications, IoT devices and more. You can use them to publish realtime events & even store realtime state objects which you can handle using our client-side SDKs.

As well as transient messages, channels can be used as a store for realtime, stateful and persisted state. You can think of it like a realtime database attached to every channel.

Pipe Overview

Pipe allows you to deliver real-time livestreams to users across the globe withour worrying about scale. As a developer, Pipe is easy to integrate - there's only 3 steps to getting your first broadcast going.

Getting Started

Pipe Getting Started

You can use our client (frontend) SDKs to easily implement Pipe into your product.

Pipe Client Implementation

Pipe supports multiple ingest protocols for sending streams to Pipe: RTMP and RTP (MPEG-TS). You can set the ingest protocol to use when creating a Pipe room.
