Containers run service images in Verglas Cloud. Use a container when the workload needs a server process, a web UI, an MCP endpoint, or durable mounted storage. Use a worker for bounded scheduled or event-driven runs.
The current CLI manages containers through the cloud control plane. Local container execution is outside the current CLI contract.
Deploy a catalog app
List the curated applications available to your tenant:
Deploy one by catalog ID:
The command is idempotent. If the app already exists, Verglas reports the existing deployment.
Inspect and configure the deployed container:
Set a normal value on the command line and read a secret from standard input:
The read path reports whether a secret is set. It never returns the secret value.
Push your own image
Push the image to a registry that Verglas Cloud can reach, then register it in the tenant registry:
containers push registers the image for cloud conversion and launch. It does not upload a purely local Docker image.
Create from a specification
Save the complete control-plane request as JSON or TOML. The current CLI passes the specification through as the container request body.
Create and inspect the deployment:
Scale and stop
Stopping a container scales it to zero. Resuming restores the deployment through the control plane.
Attach durable storage
Create a cloud block volume before referencing it in a container specification:
Volumes grow but do not shrink:
Verglas refuses to delete an attached volume.
