Deploying the Ephemeral Backend Manager
This guide explains how to deploy the Windmill Ephemeral Backend Manager as a systemd service on a Linux machine.
Prerequisites
Before running the installation script, ensure you have:
- Linux machine with systemd (Ubuntu 20.04+, Debian 11+, etc.)
- User
sandboxcreated with appropriate permissions - Repository cloned to
/home/sandbox/ephemeral-backend/windmill - Required tools installed:
- Git
- Docker (with
sandboxuser having access) - Bun (installed for the
sandboxuser) - Rust/Cargo (for building backends)
- Bubblewrap (will be installed by the script if missing)
- Cloudflared (will be installed by the script if missing)
Architecture
The service runs as user sandbox and:
- Listens on port 8001 for HTTP requests
- Creates a Cloudflare tunnel for external access
- Updates GitHub Actions secrets with the tunnel URL
- Manages a pool of git worktrees for ephemeral backends
- Spawns ephemeral backends on-demand
- Automatically cleans up resources on shutdown
The worktree pool enables:
- Fast incremental compilation (reuses target directories)
- Efficient resource usage (no constant creation/deletion)
- Automatic discovery of existing worktrees on restart
