Installation
Compose
The frontend stack is included automatically when selecting the frontend stack during /ipa-compose. Run the compose skill:
/ipa-compose
Select the frontend stack when prompted for stacks to include. The compose process generates the deployment Makefile targets and wires the frontend stack into the correct deploy order.
Configuration
The following .env variables map to the stack parameters:
| Parameter | .env Variable | Required | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Namespace | APP_NAMESPACE | Yes | -- | Project namespace prefix for resource naming. Must match ^[a-z][a-z0-9-]{0,11}$. |
| Environment | APP_ENV | Yes | -- | Deployment environment (dev, staging, or prod). |
| BucketNameSuffix | -- | No | web | Suffix appended to the bucket name. The full bucket name follows the pattern {ns}-{env}-{suffix}-{account_id}. |
| LogBucketDomainName | -- | Yes | -- | S3 domain name of the centralized log bucket (e.g., {bucket}.s3.amazonaws.com). Resolved from the LOG_BUCKET_NAME variable in .env (written by update-env-logs after deploying the logs prepare stack). |
Outputs
The stack exports the following values for use by post-deploy steps and other stacks:
| Output | Export Name | Description |
