Multiple Environments

Overview

Each environment is a directory with its own minipaas.yaml. The namespace in that file isolates the stack, service names, and networks inside a Swarm.

Layout

project/
├── compose.yaml
├── compose.build.yaml
└── minipaas/
    ├── dev/
    │   └── minipaas.yaml
    └── prod/
        └── minipaas.yaml

Every command takes the environment directory as its first positional argument, so the target is always explicit.

Namespaces

Set a distinct namespace per environment (dev, staging, prod). The CLI prefixes services as <namespace>_<service> and networks as <namespace>_network and <namespace>_public, allowing several environments to share one cluster.

Targets

Each environment sets its own docker.host. Local development can omit it and use the local Docker socket; staging and production point at their managers over SSH.

Next Steps

• minipaas.yaml: environment descriptor reference.
• CLI Usage: environment layout and deploy patterns.
• CI/CD Pipeline: deploy each environment from CI.
