Service creation in Caila

You can create a service directly on your image’s page or via the left panel in the My Space → Services section.

  1. Click Create service.
  2. Choose an image to create the service and specify your service’s name. If the required image is not in the list, add it and then return to creating the service.
  3. Specify the service settings or leave them as default.
  4. Click Create.

Service launch​

Caila automatically starts the service instances as soon as a request is made to the service. The platform then stops them if the service is not used for a long period. For more details, see Resource eviction in Caila.

After you created the service, we recommend initially launching it manually. This is because at the first launch, the platform will download the docker image, which may take a considerable amount of time.

To launch the service manually, use one of the following methods:

  • Go to the Hosting tab and add an instance under Instance management.
  • Go to the Diagnostic section and click Add instance.

If the service does not start or takes too long to start, go to the Diagnostic section. On this page, you will find:

  • The status of your service instance.
  • A list of events from the server.
  • Service operation logs.
  • The command line inside the container.
