Deploy a Docker app

Deploy Docker in six steps

1. 01

   Push your Docker 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 a Dockerfile in the root directory and runs builds your image and runs it with PORT set. 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

One rule for servers: listen on the port in the PORT environment variable. Rimbra sets it and routes your address to it.

FROM node:20-alpine
WORKDIR /app
COPY . .
RUN npm ci && npm run build
CMD ["npm", "start"]

Docker on Rimbra

• When a Dockerfile is present, Rimbra uses it and skips its own detection.
• Your container should listen on the PORT environment variable.
