Monorepo Support

Ink supports deploying multiple services from subdirectories within a single repository. Each subdirectory becomes its own service with independent builds, resources, and URLs.

Root directory

Set root_directory to the path of your service within the repo. For example, if your repo looks like:

my-monorepo/
├── frontend/
│   └── package.json
├── backend/
│   └── package.json
└── shared/

Your agent deploys each subdirectory as a separate service, pointing them at the same repo with different root_directory values:

create_service(
  "name": "backend",
  "repo": "ink/my-monorepo",
  "root_directory": "backend",
  "port": "8080",
  "memory": "512Mi"
)

create_service(
  "name": "frontend",
  "repo": "ink/my-monorepo",
  "root_directory": "frontend",
  "port": "3000",
  "memory": "256Mi",
  "env_vars": {
    "NEXT_PUBLIC_API_URL": "https://backend.ml.ink"
  }
)

Each service gets its own URL, build pipeline, and resource allocation — all from one repo.

How it works

• Ink clones the full repository
• The build runs from the specified subdirectory
• Auto-detection and build commands are relative to that directory
• Each service deploys and scales independently

Limitations

• The root_directory must be a relative path within the repo
• Parent directory traversal (..) is not allowed
