The General Deployment process defines how platforms are deployed as benches within LGF. All platform deployments follow the same controlled workflow using the Operator Console.

Overview

Deployment consists of:

  • Selecting a platform
  • Defining a bench name
  • Configuring network and optional settings
  • Creating the bench

This process is consistent across all supported platforms.

Deployment Workflow

1. Open New Bench

From the Operator Console, click + New Bench.

2. Select Platform

Choose the platform you want to deploy from the Platform dropdown.

3. Configure Bench

  • Bench Name: Unique identifier for the deployment
  • Port: Assigned port or system default

5. Create Bench

Click Create Bench to begin deployment.

The system will:

  • Validate configuration
  • Acquire sources
  • Render environment and compose configuration
  • Deploy and initialize services

Reverse Proxy Behavior

Automatic Reverse Proxy:

If a base domain is configured and no external reverse proxy is defined, LGF will create a hostname using:

<benchname>.<domain>

This hostname must be configured in DNS for access.

Expected Result

  • The bench enters a Building state
  • Services are deployed and initialized
  • The platform becomes accessible via port or hostname

Important Notes

  • All platforms follow this same deployment pattern
  • Platform-specific options are defined in Advanced Options
  • Bench names must be unique

Next Steps

  • Refer to platform-specific deployment guides for required options
  • Use Bench Details to monitor deployment
  • Use Repair if deployment fails
