Requirements

Git Repository

Git is a version control system. Beaker Studio currently supports deploying code that is hosted on GitHub, and will prompt you for access when creating new environments.

Amazon Web Services

Beaker Studio deploys code to your AWS account. The dashboard will prompt you for access keys when creating new environments.

AWS documentation: Creating root access keys.

Docker Hub

Docker Hub is the default image repository used by Docker. Beaker Studio connects to it during the build step to pull down images just like you would when using Docker locally. The dashboard will prompt you for Docker Hub credentials when creating new environments.

Docker Compose

Beaker Studio searches for a compose.yaml file in the root of your Git repository, and interprets it to run deployments. You’ll need a basic understanding of how to use Docker Compose to use Beaker Studio.
