Frequently asked questions

How do I give OpenCode access to Elestio?

Install the Elestio CLI with npm install -g elestio and authenticate with elestio login. This gives OpenCode access to Elestio's full API for deployments, backups, and infrastructure management.

What can I deploy with OpenCode + Elestio?

Anything from Elestio's catalog of 400+ open-source templates — databases (PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB), CMS (WordPress, Ghost), development tools (GitLab, Gitea), monitoring (Grafana, Prometheus), and more. You can also deploy custom apps from GitHub with CI/CD pipelines.

Can OpenCode manage existing Elestio services?

Yes! OpenCode can list, manage, resize, and delete your existing services. It can also configure backups, firewall rules, SSL certificates, and check billing — all from your terminal.

How does billing work when deploying via OpenCode?

Billing works exactly the same as deploying from the Elestio dashboard. Services are billed to your Elestio account based on the provider, region, and server size you choose. OpenCode can show you pricing with elestio sizes before deploying.
