Description

An introductory charm for developers to learn how to write charms to make them easy to deploy.

Overview

This charm is intended to be used with Juju's Getting Started documentation.

Usage

Deploying hello-juju:

juju deploy hello-juju
juju expose hello-juju

You can now access the application by connecting to the unit's public address field from the juju status output:

juju status
> ...
> App         Version  Status  Scale  Charm       Store  Rev  OS      Notes
> hello-juju           active      1  hello-juju  local    0  ubuntu  exposed
>
> Unit           Workload  Agent  Machine  Public address  Ports   Message
> hello-juju/0*  active    idle   0        <ip-address>    80/tcp  
>
> Machine  State    DNS           Inst id        Series  AZ  Message
> 0        started  <ip-address>  <instance-id>  bionic      Running

Now from another computer, you'll be able to make HTTP requests to it.

curl <ip-address>
> Hello Juju!

If you don't have curl, open your browser at <ip-address>.
The charm also installs curl on hello-juju/0, so you could try that too.

juju ssh hello-juju/0
> ubuntu@<instance-id>:~$

curl localhost
> Hello Juju!

Endpoints supported

  • /: returns the plain text string Hello Juju!\r\n\r\n
  • /greetings: returns a JSON object with a count of the greetings that have been sent, e.g. {"greetings": 1}

Relating to other charms

Changing databases via pgsql

By default, hello-juju uses a SQLite database. When related to a charm that provides the pgsql relation, hello-juju will store its data there.

juju deploy postgresql
juju relate postgresql:db hello-juju

Scaling out

This charm is not able to be used with multiple units.
