While reading this article on Okteto (https://www.okteto.com/blog/deploying-a-django-app-on-okteto/), there was a configuration for public: true.
simple-rbas:
public: true
image:okteto.dev/simple-rbas:latest
build: .
# ...
what does turning this on affect? will it mean that this image will be publicly avaible for everyone else to pull?
I have checked the documents on Okteto & Docker Compose, but I was not able to find a reference for this setting.
My app is aimed only for members on my team to access, and since I have not done a thorough security check, I would like to keep my apps/code as private as possibly, while opening a public URL so I can share my app via a link.
I would like to know how public: true will affect my use case.
That syntax was used in the past to mark if a port should be publicly available. That was deprecated earlier this year in favor of having a syntax close to docker-compose.
For this particular case, you should define port 8000 as below to tell Okteto that you want it to be available from the internet.
ports:
- 8000:8000
https://www.okteto.com/docs/reference/compose/#ports-int-optional has more information on how to make a port publicly available.
