Addons

Managed databases, a key-value store and object storage you attach with one nesly command. Connection details arrive as environment variables.

An addon is a backing service the platform runs for one of your projects. You attach it once; nesly injects the connection details as environment variables, and the next deploy picks them up. You never get a public address — your application reaches the service on the private network.

Attach with nesly addon add <type>, list with nesly addon ls, remove with nesly addon rm <type> --yes.

What you can attach

  • PostgreSQL (postgres)

    Your own database and login on the shared cluster. Injects DATABASE_URL. Framework names (Laravel DB_*, .NET ConnectionStrings__Default) are derived from it.

  • MySQL (mysql)

    Your own database and login on the shared Percona cluster. Injects DATABASE_URL. InnoDB only — a MyISAM dump from shared hosting needs converting first.

  • SQL Server (mssql)

    Your own database and login (Express edition, 10 GB per database). Injects DATABASE_URL and ConnectionStrings__Default so a .NET app reads it with GetConnectionString("Default") and no configuration code.

  • Valkey (valkey)

    A Redis-compatible key-value store. Injects REDIS_URL and VALKEY_URL (same value). You get your own login and a key prefix; other projects cannot read your keys, and nobody can flush the shared server.

  • Object storage (bucket)

    An S3-compatible bucket on the platform. Injects AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID, AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY, AWS_ENDPOINT_URL, AWS_BUCKET (and BUCKET), and sets Laravel's FILESYSTEM_DISK to s3 so uploads leave the ephemeral container. Your login can only reach your own bucket — not another project's, and not the platform's.

  • OpenID Connect (oidc)

    A client on the platform identity provider. Injects OIDC_ISSUER_URL, OIDC_CLIENT_ID and OIDC_CLIENT_SECRET.

Key prefixes on Valkey

Write keys under your project id, for example prj_…:session:…. The platform refuses keys outside that prefix and refuses dangerous server commands such as FLUSHALL. When the shared server is full, writes return an error instead of silently deleting another project's data.
