How to create private cloud deployment package without developer portal

0
Hi Experts, Based on the document, to deploy an App to private cloud, it has to create the deployment package through developer portal. But if there is no internet to access the developer portal, is it possible to create the deployment package and deploy the app to private cloud? Thanks.

There are several solutions available, depending on your private cloud context one is more useful then the other.

Packaging: Using Mendix Studio Pro you should be able to create a package. Alternatively Mendix Deploy API can be used to create a package. 

Deploying: Mendix Deploy API could help you with this. 
 

Probably Mendix Deploy API can be scripted in your favorite private cloud hosting portal to ease repeating scenarios.

There are 2 main ways to do it outside of the Mendix platform.

 

  1. Mendix Studio pro: https://docs.mendix.com/refguide/project-menu#6-create-deployment-package 
  2. mxbuild as command line: https://docs.mendix.com/refguide/mxbuild

 

These will produce a deployment package with MDA extension. In private cloud you probably better use https://github.com/mendix/docker-mendix-buildpack to build a docker image and then deploy it to any container orchestration system like ECS, Kubernetes, docker, etc… This buildpack accepts MDA and project/model source as input.
