Render.com Deployment

This is an example deployment to Render.com using terraform

Requirements

Deployment with terraform

1. Init your terraform state

terraform init

3. Deploy your application

# Your Render.com API token. IMPORTANT: The API does not work with Free plan.
export TF_VAR_render_api_token=<render_api_token>
# Your Render.com user email
export TF_VAR_render_user_email=<render_user_email>
#set the chroma release to deploy
export TF_VAR_chroma_release="0.4.13"
# the region to deploy to. At the time of writing only oregon and frankfurt are available
export TF_VAR_region="oregon"
#enable basic auth for the chroma instance
export TF_VAR_enable_auth="true"
#The auth type to use for the chroma instance (token or basic)
export TF_VAR_auth_type="token"
terraform apply -auto-approve

4. Check your public IP and that Chroma is running

Note: It might take couple minutes for the instance to boot up

Get the public IP of your instance (it should also be printed out after successful terraform apply):

terraform output instance_url

Check that chroma is running:

export instance_public_ip=$(terraform output instance_url | sed 's/"//g')
curl -v $instance_public_ip/api/v1/heartbeat

4.1 Checking Auth

Token

When token auth is enabled (this is the default option) you can check the get the credentials from Terraform state by running:

terraform output chroma_auth_token

You should see something of the form:

PVcQ4qUUnmahXwUgAf3UuYZoMlos6MnF

You can then export these credentials:

export CHROMA_AUTH=$(terraform output chroma_auth_token | sed 's/"//g')

Using the credentials:

curl -v $instance_public_ip/api/v1/collections -H "Authorization: Bearer ${CHROMA_AUTH}"

Basic

When basic auth is enabled you can check the get the credentials from Terraform state by running:

terraform output chroma_auth_basic

You should see something of the form:

chroma:VuA8I}QyNrm0@QLq

You can then export these credentials:

export CHROMA_AUTH=$(terraform output chroma_auth_basic | sed 's/"//g')

Using the credentials:

curl -v https://$instance_public_ip:8000/api/v1/collections -u "${CHROMA_AUTH}"

Note: Without -u you should be getting 401 Unauthorized response

4.2 SSH to your instance

To connect to your instance via SSH you need to go to Render.com service dashboard.

5. Destroy your application

terraform destroy
