Qovery offers a streamlined, powerful platform for developers. Its goal is to simplify DevOps processes and enhance the overall developer experience. For those new to Qovery or considering adopting it, there's a simple way to test its capabilities on your local machine. Using the "qovery demo up" command, you can create a non-production environment to explore Qovery's features without any complicated setups. Here is a step-by-step guide to help you get started.
Supported Operating Systems: Linux, macOS, and Windows.
Resources: 4 CPU and 8GB of RAM for your Docker runtime
Binaries: docker, jq, curl, sed, grep, git
A stable Internet connection.
A Qovery organization. If you don't have one, please sign up on our platform here.
Purpose and Limitations
It's important to note that this local setup of Qovery using the qovery demo up command is designed for demonstration and testing purposes only. It is not intended for production use. Please refer to the official installation guide for deploying Qovery in a production environment.
$ qovery auth --headless # if you don't have any GUI
3/ Install Qovery locally (this operation should take between 1 to 5 minutes)
$ qovery demo up
Note that if you are on MacOS or Windows, you might be prompted for your admin password - which is necessary to properly route the traffic from your host to your k3s apps.

Qovery demo cluster is now installed !!!!
The kubeconfig is correctly set, so you can connect to it directly with kubectl or k9s from your local machine
To delete/stop/start your cluster, use k3d cluster xxxx
Go to https://console.qovery.com to create your first environment on this cluster 'romaric-local-cluster'

5/ You can connect to the Qovery web console and deploy your apps on your local cluster 🥳
One remarkable feature of Qovery is its flexibility. For instance, you can execute the "qovery demo run" command remotely via SSH on any machine, even those without a graphical user interface (GUI).
Authentication for Non-GUI Access
To use Qovery's CLI remotely, you first need to authenticate securely. The command "qovery auth --headless" is particularly useful for setups when accessing remote servers.
Practical Example
Let's consider running Qovery on a CIVO cloud instance. Once authenticated, you can deploy applications or manage your Qovery environment directly from the command line, showcasing the adaptability of Qovery for various development and operational scenarios.
Conclusion
Qovery is designed to offer a high-quality developer experience, allowing developers to focus more on coding and less on the operational overhead. By leveraging Qovery, both on local machines for testing and on remote servers for production deployments, developers can enhance their productivity and streamline their development workflows.
