Hoista finds the Modal apps and volumes in every environment of a workspace. It shows whether each app is running or scaled to zero, what the workspace has cost, and can deploy an app from a folder.

​
Connect

Modal connects with a token ID and secret:
  1. Open API Tokens: Settings → API Tokens → New Token. Name it Hoista.
  2. Copy the whole line Modal shows, such as modal token set --token-id ak-… --token-secret as-…. Hoista needs both the token ID and the secret, and takes both from that line.
  3. In Desktop, open Accounts, choose Modal and paste the line.
From the CLI:
Paste the same line at the hidden prompt. In scripts, use hoist accounts add modal --name NAME --token-stdin, and add --account <workspace> if the token reaches more than one workspace.

​
What you can do

  • Deploy a Modal app from a folder.
  • See logs on the Logs tab and metrics on Metrics.
  • Use the Modal tab for Modal’s own operations.
  • See what Modal has billed the workspace on Billing.
  • Delete an app or volume after you confirm it by name.

​
Bring in existing resources

Hoista looks for apps and volumes when you connect. In Desktop, add them as described in Bring in an existing project. From the CLI:
Projects start in watching mode. Run hoist projects manage my-app when you want Hoista to make changes. To look again, run hoist accounts refresh <account> with the name or ID from hoist accounts.
