Get your first site up and running with this beginner-friendly guide
With fission installed, we are ready to set it up on your local machine. If this is your first time using fission, you will be prompted for a username and an email to confirm your new account.
A private key has been generated for your machine and saved in the ~/.config/fission/key/ directory. This key secures your communication with Fission services and works like using an SSH key to connect to GitHub.
If you already have an account created in a web browser, you can link it on your local machine. See the Fission CLI linking guide to link your account.
Let's publish a simple webpage with Fission! We will write a simple webpage, register it as a Fission app, and publish it to the web.
Create a project directory and an index.html file.
Add some content to index.html:
Run fission app register command to initialize the webpage as a Fission app. You will be prompted for a build directory.
Press enter to set hello-universe as your build directory, and fission will initialize your app.
Fission will create a fission.yaml file with your app configuration.
The url is where your webpage will be on the web after it has been published, build tells the fission which directory to publish, and ignore is a list of files and directories to ignore. See the Fission YAML guide for more details.
Run fission app publish to publish the webpage.
Copy the URL from the last line and paste it into your web browser to view the webpage live on the web. Nice and simple!
It may take a few minutes for DNS to propagate. If you don't see the webpage live at the URL, come back and try again in a bit. You can also take the URL from the CLI output and view the webpage athttps://ipfs.runfission.com/ipfs/{URL}right away.
