Management

Accessing Resources

Application Resources are only accessible inside the Rack.

If you need to access these resources to import/export data or perform other management functions, you can use convox resources proxy.

$ convox resources proxy mysql-4624

Examples

Assuming the following convox.yml:

resources:
  cache:
    type: redis

Open a terminal and run:

$ convox resources proxy cache
Proxying localhost:6379 to redis-0001.internal.cache.amazonaws.com

Then, in another terminal on your local machine, run:

$ redis-cli -h localhost -p 6379
127.0.0.1:6379>

You’ll see connect: 6379 appear in the terminal where you ran convox resources proxy as evidence of your connection.

Now you can interact with your remote redis resource:

127.0.0.1:6379> ping "hello world"
"hello world"

Options

To avoid local port conflicts you can specify a different local port with --port:

$ convox resources proxy cache --port 6380
