Migrating From Legacy "Repeater" to New Private Locations¶

The escapetech/cli image creates a Private Location by name if it doesn't exist and connects it to your Escape account using your API key. This replaces manual repeater creation and ID configuration with escapetech/repeater.

If you're using the legacy escapetech/repeater image, follow these steps to migrate to the new CLI-based approach:

1. Retrieve your API key from your profile page
2. Update your configuration:
   • Remove the ESCAPE_REPEATER_ID environment variable
   • Add the ESCAPE_API_KEY environment variable
   • Update the startup command to locations start -v location-name where location-name is your desired location name
3. Switch from the escapetech/repeater image to the escapetech/cli:latest image
