app = "auger"
primary_region = "iad"

[build]
  image = "ghcr.io/851-labs/auger-server:latest"

[env]
  AUGER_BASE_DOMAIN = "auger.example.com" # <- Set this to your root domain.
  AUGER_HTTP_PORT = "8080"
  AUGER_WS_PATH = "/ws"
  AUGER_DB_PATH = "/data/auger.db"
  AUGER_TOKENS = "changeme" # <- Comma-separated auth tokens (use a strong secret).

[[mounts]]
  source = "auger_data"
  destination = "/data"

[[services]]
  internal_port = 8080
  protocol = "tcp"

  [[services.ports]]
    port = 80
