Migrating from legacy "Repeater" to new Private Locations

The main difference between the old escapetech/repeater image and the new escapetech/cli image is that you don't need to manually create the repeater on the Escape platform and copy-paste its ID.

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
