Pine

Pine is a free, open-source, cross-platform Elm runtime environment that lets developers create servers, web apps, and command line tools.

• Pine supports building and running Elm programs natively on .NET without JavaScript.
• The Elm compilation interfaces support the customization of code generation at build time.
• Pine comes bundled with an integrated web server and database management system, simplifying the development and operation of web services.

Web Services

• Pine integrates web server and database management system, automating the persistence and maintenance of application state and database migrations.
• Run reports or custom updates as Elm functions on your database via the admin interface.

Getting Started

Download the pre-built Pine binary for your platform at https://pine-vm.org/download, or on the releases page on GitHub.

The pine executable file integrates all functionality to build apps and operate web services.

The command below runs a server and deploys a full-stack web app:

pine  run-server  --public-urls="http://*:5000"  --deploy=https://github.com/pine-vm/pine/tree/8dbd5c91853fbcef3b645d95bccc01a886ccd7e2/implement/example-apps/docker-image-default-app

Docker Image

To deploy in a docker container, use the pine-vm/pine image from the GitHub Container registry (ghcr.io/pine-vm/pine). The tags are aligned with the version IDs in the CLI executable file.

docker  run  -p 5000:80  -p 4000:4000  --env "APPSETTING_adminPassword=test"  ghcr.io/pine-vm/pine
