wasmer app and wasmer deploy CLI

Wasmer provides you with commands in their CLI to deploy and manage your applications on the edge.

Usage

Wasmer has two main commands for deploy:

  • wasmer app
  • wasmer deploy
ℹ️

Note: You must be logged in to Wasmer to use the app and deploy commands.

wasmer app

It allows the user to:

  • Create an app
  • Get information about an app
  • List all of their apps

wasmer app create

This command is used to create an app that will be deployed on the edge.

This further provides you with options:

  1. Use an existing package, like a static-web-server for static website.
  2. Create your own custom app from scratch.

You can also specify an app type with the --type flag. The available types are:

  • Static website
  • HTTP server
  • Browser shell (coming soon)

wasmer app get

This command is used to get the information about an app.

Arguments

  • ident: The identifier of the app you want to get information about. This is an optional argument. If you do not provide an app identifier, it will automatically get that from your app.yaml file in your current directory. This is basically the name field in your app.yaml file.

Options

  • --format: The format to use for the output. This defaults to yaml. Other options are json and text.
  • --token: The token to use for authentication. You can also use the WASMER_TOKEN environment variable. This defaults to the token in your ~/.wasmer/wasmer.toml file.
  • --verbose: Show verbose output.
  • --quiet: Do not print progress messages.
  • --color: Whether to use colored output. Defaults to auto. Possible values are auto, always, and never.
