Create an Environment

Create environments (collections) in Bluebricks using the CLI.

For the conceptual overview of collections and what they contain, see Collections. For creating environments through the web UI and understanding the full lifecycle, see Creating Environments. You can also manage environments directly in the Bluebricks app.

Prerequisites

• Bluebricks CLI installed

• Authenticated with Bluebricks (bricks login)

Create an Environment

# Create environment with name
bricks collection create --name "production"

# Create environment and set as default
bricks collection create --name "development" --default

Naming Conventions

• Use clear, descriptive names: production, staging, development

• Include team or project context when needed: team-alpha-production

• Use consistent patterns: {project}-{environment}

Manage Environments

# List active environments
bricks collection ls

# List all environments (including inactive)
bricks collection ls --all

# Enable / disable
bricks collection enable --slug "my-env"
bricks collection disable --slug "my-env"

# Delete
bricks collection delete --slug "my-env"

Deploy to an Environment

# Deploy to specific environment
bricks install @bluebricks/postgres@1.0.0 --collection production

# Deploy to default environment
bricks install @bluebricks/postgres@1.0.0
