Project lifecycle

Start, stop, restart, lock, clone, rename, and delete a project.

Start and stop

On the project page, the Start and Stop buttons are available. The same options are in the project row menu on the Projects page.

Stop: the project stops and stops receiving traffic.
Start: the project runs again.

Setting the replica count to 0 also stops the project.

While a project is stopped, CPU and memory are not billed. Attached volumes are billed separately.

Restart

Choose Restart from the project row menu. Lexoya also restarts the project automatically to apply some settings.

Rename

On the project page, click the edit icon next to the name.
Enter the new name.
Click the check mark.

The name is only a label. It does not affect the default URL or domains.

Lock a project

Lock prevents accidental changes. While locked:

The project cannot be deleted.
The repository cannot be changed.
A new archive cannot be uploaded for an archive project.

Click Unlock to release it. Locking does not stop the project.

Clone a project

Choose Clone project from the project menu.
Read the warning and click Clone.

A new project with the same configuration, repository, and branch is created and deployed automatically.

Volumes and the domain are not cloned. All other settings are copied to the new project.

Release a new archive version

For a project created from an archive:

Open the Pipelines tab.
Click Upload new archive.
Choose a zip, tar.gz, or tgz file up to 500 MB.

The new file replaces the previous source and creates a new pipeline. This option is disabled while the project is locked.

Delete a project

Choose Delete from the project menu.
Review the list of dependent resources.
Type the project name to confirm.
Click Delete.

The project moves to the Trash and is permanently deleted after 24 hours.

Deletion is permanent and the data cannot be recovered. Connected Quick Apps and volumes in the list are deleted too. Unlock the project first if it is locked.
