Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Is everything I deploy public?

Yes. We currently only support deploying code from a public GitHub repository. Each deployment has a unique public URL that anyone with the link can access.

Additionally, your Content page is also public.

Can I publish from a subdirectory within my repo?

Yes. Simply indicate the directory path when specifying the primary file. For example, analysis/app.py. The corresponding requirements.txt file can be in either that subdirectory or in a parent directory.

How can I provide feedback?

There are multiple ways to provide feedback on Connect Cloud. Use the Feedback widget on the platform.

You will find a feedback tag on the bottom of each Connect Cloud page if you are logged in. Click the tag to add comments or questions. You can also use the tool to take a screenshot or video of the page you are on to provide additional context. Anything you submit will turn into an issue for the team to review.

You can also reach out to Alex Chisholm to discuss anything about Connect Cloud and its development.
