Run Compute locally

To run Compute locally, you'll use the Subo CLI and Docker Compose, both of which must be installed before continuing.

Prepare your local environment

The Subo CLI will create some files on disk to set up your local deployment, so get started by creating a suborbital directory somewhere on your filesystem:

mkdir suborbital
cd suborbital

Start Compute

Next, use Subo to start your local Compute Core instance:

subo compute deploy core --local

You may be asked to enter your Environment Token, and then Subo will use docker-compose to launch your Compute Core instance automatically. Compute runs in the background by default. You can use docker-compose logs -f to view the logs of the running containers. Run docker-compose down to terminate the containers.

REPL

When you run Compute, it will wait for you to press enter to start a REPL where you can add or edit functions.

1. Create or edit a function

Choose an option: 1

To create or edit a function, enter its name (or FQFN): new-fn

This will allow you create functions and use the Compute editor locally while you work on integrating your application. Follow the instructions in the REPL to create your first function.
