Mautic

To deploy Mautic (an open-source marketing automation platform) using the mautic/mautic Docker image on the Akash Network, you’ll need to define an SDL (Stack Definition Language) file, configure your environment, and deploy the app. Below is a step-by-step guide:

1. Requirements

• Install the Akash CLI on your system (Guide).
• Fund your Akash wallet with AKT tokens to pay for deployment costs.
• A domain name or Akash’s automatically generated domain for accessing Mautic.
• Basic knowledge of Docker and Akash SDL configuration.

2. Create the SDL File

The SDL file defines the deployment configuration for Mautic on Akash. Below is a sample mautic.yml file:

---
version: "2.0"

services:
  mautic:
    image: mautic/mautic:latest
    env:
      - MAUTIC_DB_HOST=mautic-db
      - MAUTIC_DB_USER=mautic
      - MAUTIC_DB_PASSWORD=mautic_password
      - MAUTIC_DB_NAME=mautic
    expose:
      - port: 80
        as: 80
        to:
          - global
    depends_on:
      - mautic-db

  mautic-db:
    image: mariadb:latest
    env:
      - MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=root_password
      - MYSQL_DATABASE=mautic
      - MYSQL_USER=mautic
      - MYSQL_PASSWORD=mautic_password
    expose:
      - port: 3306
        as: 3306
        to:
          - mautic

profiles:
  compute:
    mautic-profile:
      resources:
        cpu:
          units: 1
        memory:
          size: 1Gi
        storage:
          size: 5Gi

  placement:
    akash:
      attributes:
        region: us-west # Choose a region
      pricing:
        mautic-profile:
          denom: uakt
          amount: 100

deployment:
  mautic:
    profile: mautic-profile
    count: 1

3. Key Configuration Notes

• Services:
  • mautic: The Mautic container using the mautic/mautic image.
  • mautic-db: A MariaDB container to serve as the database backend.
• Environment Variables:
  • Adjust the MYSQL_ and MAUTIC_DB_ environment variables according to your needs.
• Storage:
  • The storage size for both mautic and mautic-db should be sufficient to handle your data needs.
• Pricing:
  • Modify the amount under pricing to match your budget.

4. Deploy Mautic on Akash

1. Initialize Deployment: Save the mautic.yml file and deploy it with Akash CLI:

   akash tx deployment create mautic.yml --from <your_wallet_address>

2. Bid and Lease: After submitting the deployment, watch for bids and create a lease:

   akash query market bid list --owner <your_wallet_address>
   akash tx market lease create --dseq <deployment_sequence> --from <your_wallet_address>

3. Access the Deployment: Use Akash’s automatically generated domain or map your custom domain using a CNAME record.

5. Post-Deployment

• Visit the Mautic URL (e.g., http://<akash_domain>) and complete the setup wizard.
• Enter the database details matching your MariaDB container environment variables:
  • Host: mautic-db
  • Database: mautic
  • Username: mautic
  • Password: mautic_password

6. Customization (Optional)

• To use SSL, set up a reverse proxy like NGINX or use services like Cloudflare for HTTPS.
• Scale resources by updating the compute section in the SDL file.

7. Updating Mautic

If you need to update the Mautic version, modify the image in the SDL file and redeploy:

image: mautic/mautic:<new_version>

By following these steps, you can successfully deploy and manage Mautic on the Akash Network.
