Deploy guides

Deploy an Astro app

Deploy an Astro app from GitHub in about a minute. Rimbra detects Astro, builds it and gives it a live HTTPS address, with a managed database, your own domain, an Email API and a WhatsApp API in the same account.

Deploy Astro in six steps

  1. 01

    Push your Astro project to a GitHub repository.

  2. 02

    Sign in to Rimbra, choose New project and import the repository. Rimbra asks GitHub for access to the repositories you pick.

  3. 03

    Rimbra sees an astro.config file and runs npm run build, then serves the output. Change the root directory or the commands in Settings if your project needs it.

  4. 04

    Paste your .env into Variables. Every line becomes a variable, available on the next deploy.

  5. 05

    Deploy. The build log streams line by line, and your app goes live at your-project.rimbra.live (or .xyz or .click, your choice) over HTTPS.

  6. 06

    Optional: buy or connect a domain, and Rimbra points it at your app with HTTPS issued automatically.

What your app needs

Nothing special. Rimbra builds your project and serves the output over HTTPS.

package.json
{
  "scripts": {
    "dev": "astro dev",
    "build": "astro build"
  }
}

Questions

Can I host an Astro app for free?

Yes. Rimbra’s Free plan needs no card and includes 4 projects, 1 database, 200 build minutes and 50 GB of bandwidth a month, with a free HTTPS address for each project.

Does every push redeploy my Astro app?

Yes. Every push to your production branch builds a new version. It goes live only when it answers, so visitors never see a broken release, and you can roll back to an earlier build instantly.
