I don’t see anywhere in the Galaxy UI for a deployment how to change the region. I’d like to try having the app in a different region to see if it will be faster for people in that region.
At the moment, the app network load time is fine for me in the US, but incredibly slow loading for people in France or Vietnam.
Sidenote, in-app “messaging is unavailable”, I cannot reply there:
Hey @trusktr,
Two ways to pick the region:
CLI: set DEPLOY_HOSTNAME before meteor deploy. Example for EU:
DEPLOY_HOSTNAME=eu-west-1.galaxy-deploy.meteor.com meteor deploy myapp.eu.galaxycloud.app
Swap in us-east-1 or ap-southeast-2 for the other regions. Full CLI reference: Deploy Meteor Apps Using the CLI
Galaxy UI: in the Deploy New App flow, the Region selector is in the “Configure and Deploy” step. Walkthrough: Deploy Meteor Apps Using Push to Deploy
To move an existing app, just redeploy it to the new region. There is no in-place switch.
Heads up: Free plan apps run in us-east-1 only.
In-app messaging is back online too, so you can contact us there as well.
