Deploy the App in IBM Cloud Object Storage

  • Log into your IBM Cloud account.

  • Enter Object Storage in the console's search bar and select Object Storage.

  • Next configure the Object Storage by selecting the right plan Lite or Standard as per your requirement, enter a Service name, select a resource group and optionally enter a Tags.

  • Now your Object Storage will be created and you will be routed to its dashboard. Select Create bucket tab and click on Create Bucket button.

  • Configure the bucket by entering a Unique bucket name, select the required Resiliency, Locaton and Storage class options. Then under Rules & Policies configure Static website hosting by clicking Add rule, turn on the Public access switch and enter index.html for Index document placeholder and save. Finally click Create Bucket button end of the page.

  • Now a bucket will be created and shown in your Cloud Object Storage dashboard. Click on the bucket created.

  • Click on the Upload button and upload all the contents in ~/Project-Sample/sample-react-app/build directory which was created when you built the app. NOTE: You will have to Install Aspera connect to upload large files and any folders. For this sample react app you need to use Aspera connect to upload the static folder in ~/Project-Sample/sample-react-app/build directory.

  • Once uploading is complete, select Configuration for the bucket.

  • Scroll down to the very bottom of the page and you will find the URL endpoints for the App that can be shared to access the Sample react app in the browser.

Important Notes:

  • Once a Bucket is created for a Cloud Object Storage, don't delete it. You can build your App with new changes and upload the ~/Project-Sample/sample-angular-app/dist/sample-angular-app contents in the same Bucket. If you delete the Bucket you won't be able create another with the same name and you will have to wait for 7 days for the same name. Learn more about the Cloud Object Storage delete bucket.

  • If your Cloud Object Storage (COS) is Lite/Free plan then it will be deleted after 30 days of inactivity. Keep your COS active by uploading the ~/Project-Sample/sample-angular-app/dist/sample-angular-app contents in the bucket once in a while every month. You can automate the re-deploy/uploading process using Git Actions schedule event.
