Deploy a FastAPI app

Deploy FastAPI in six steps

1. 01

   Push your FastAPI 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 requirements.txt or pyproject.toml and a main.py with app = FastAPI() and runs pip install, then uvicorn main:app on PORT. 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 fastapi import FastAPI

app = FastAPI()

@app.get("/")
def home():
    return {"hello": "Rimbra"}
