• copy a pocketbase app to the pb directory
• run ./scripts/start.sh to start pocketbase
• import the pb/pb_schema.json to create the contacts db
• create an admin, turn off the API rules on contacts

• npm i

• in one terminal ./scripts/start.sh - this starts PB
• in another terminal npm run dev - this starts Astro

• cd into scripts
• node loadData.js development | production - to load Contacts
• node test.js development | production - to confirm db

Both Astro and Pocketbase are deployed to Fly.io

see Dockerfile and fly.toml Note that this app requires 3 secrets that locally are in the .env.development. To deploy to Fly.io you don't want those secrets in the Dockerfile Instead use fly secrets You have to make three of them like this

fly secrets set POCKETBASE_URL=where ever fly secrets set POCKETBASE_SUPERUSER=some email fly secrets set POCKETBASE_PASSWORD=some password 

Next, you need to have disk space to write the archive zip file

Add 2 volumes : https://fly.io/docs/launch/volume-storage/

• fly volumes create downloads -r dfw

Verify - notice the downloads in the NAME column.

fly volumes list ID	STATE	NAME	SIZE	REGION	ZONE	ENCRYPTED	ATTACHED VM	CREATED AT vol_vpzmddnqn7xg5824	created	downloads	1GB	dfw	edff	true	d891443c242e18	40 minutes ago vol_v3yeq0qkqzk3gdm4	created	downloads	1GB	dfw	8f05	true	1857057c63de08	8 minutes ago 

See the complete instructions here: pocketbase/pocketbase#537 see the Dockerfile and fly.yml in the pb directory Note that Pocketbase needs the volume storage as shown above
