Officeless Visual Programming

Promote an Officeless Visual Programming app from Dev to PRD the same way you promote a container image — sync, select, deploy, with the gateway rewritten for the target environment.

Before you start

  • Officeless VP Dev and PRD gateways reachable from the agent
  • App ids known in the Dev workspace

Step by step

  1. 1

    Configure the gateway

    Point the pipeline at the Officeless VP Dev gateway and the PRD gateway — Tentacles resolves credentials per environment through a secret provider, never inline.

  2. 2

    Sync from Dev

    Trigger a sync to pull the current app graph and dependencies from the Dev gateway into the pipeline's working set.

  3. 3

    Select the app ids to promote

    Choose exactly which VP app ids move forward — partial promotions are supported, so a broken app doesn't block the rest.

  4. 4

    Deploy with the -uat2 rewrite

    On deploy, Tentacles rewrites internal host references (the -uat2 suffix) so the promoted app calls PRD services instead of Dev.

    Tip: Run a dry apply first when promoting an app id for the first time — the rewrite step is easy to eyeball in the diff.
