in the cloud
one click: the provider's deploy form opens filled in, in your own account- koyeb
-
The form opens with CHANGE_ME for each value you supply: PIHOLE_URL, PIHOLE_PASSWORD, TZ, PIHOLE_READ_ONLY, PIHOLE_TLS_SKIP_VERIFY, PIHOLE_REQUEST_TIMEOUT, PIHOLE_MAX_RETRIES, PIHOLE_RETRY_MAX_DELAY. Fill them in before you deploy.
Clients connect to the service's https://…koyeb.app address plus /mcp.
- azure
-
A Container Apps environment with one app per server, each with HTTPS ingress and one replica. The portal asks for each value you supply as a secure parameter; the deployment's outputs list the endpoints.
