Overview

This guide will walk you through the process of setting up a new account on nullplatform. The tutorial focuses on basic account configuration without diving into specific cloud provider setups. The main goal is to enable you to create applications and utilize CI/CD pipelines for pushing assets.

Prerequisites

Before starting, make sure you have:

• Admin role in the organization you are currently configuring the account
• GitHub/GitLab/Azure DevOps credentials, we will need them to enable connection

To create your account on nullplatform, you'll need to prepare the following information:

Field	Description	Example
name	the display name for your account	"Krypto Kong LATAM"
repository_prefix	default prefix for new applications	"cblock"
repository_provider	your chosen repository provider	"github" or "gitlab"
organization_id	your organization's identifier	"1"
slug	unique account identifier	"krypto-kong-latam"

Creating an account

1. Configure nullplatform using one of these methods:

OpenTofu / Terraform

resource "nullplatform_account" "krypto-account" {
    name = "Krypto Kong"
    repository_prefix   = "cblock"
    repository_provider = "github"
    slug               = "crypto-kong"
}
# Note: the organization_id is automatically inferred.

API

POST /account
{
    "name": "Krypto Kong",
    "repository_prefix": "cblock",
    "repository_provider": "github",
    "organization_id": 1,
    "slug": "crypto-kong"
}

After creating your account, you'll need to:

• Configure your code repository provider (GitHub/GitLab/Azure DevOps)
• Set up an asset repository for storing and managing your assets

These configurations can be done through nullplatform dashboard, API, or OpenTofu/Terraform provider. The detailed instructions for these next steps are available in the following sections:
