Dockwise Cloud

Dockwise is the managed cloud offering built on lplex-cloud. It handles infrastructure, certificates, monitoring, and storage so you can focus on your boat data.

What you get

• Managed lplex-cloud instance with automatic scaling
• mTLS certificate provisioning and rotation
• Journal storage with automatic archival to S3
• HTTP/SSE API access at https://lplex.dockwise.app
• Dashboard for monitoring fleet connectivity and replication status

Connecting your boat

Dockwise provides a provisioning flow that generates boat certificates and configuration. Once provisioned, configure your boat's lplex:

replication {
  target = "lplex.dockwise.app:443"
  instance-id = "your-boat-id"
  tls {
    cert = "/etc/lplex/dockwise.crt"
    key = "/etc/lplex/dockwise.key"
    ca = "/etc/lplex/dockwise-ca.crt"
  }
}

API access

Use the same HTTP API as self-hosted lplex-cloud:

# List your instances
curl https://lplex.dockwise.app/instances

# Stream live data
curl -N https://lplex.dockwise.app/instances/your-boat-id/events

# Get devices
curl https://lplex.dockwise.app/instances/your-boat-id/devices

Or use the TypeScript client:

import { CloudClient } from '@sixfathoms/lplex';

const cloud = new CloudClient('https://lplex.dockwise.app');
const boatClient = cloud.client('your-boat-id');
const devices = await boatClient.devices();
