How Shipvolta works

From a GitHub repo to a live HTTPS URL in four steps.

1. Create an account

   Sign up free. The Hobby plan includes one app. See all plans.

2. Add your app

   Click New app, choose a name (it becomes name.shipvolta.com) and paste your public GitHub repo URL.

   • Node.js needs a package.json. We run npm install, npm run build (if present) and npm start. The Node version follows engines.node.
   • Python needs requirements.txt and a start command, for example gunicorn app:app -b 0.0.0.0:$PORT (or a Procfile with web:).
   • Static sites need an index.html in the repo root.

   Your app must listen on 0.0.0.0 and the port you set (also given as $PORT).

3. Deploy

   We build your code in an isolated sandbox and start it with HTTPS. Watch the build log live. If the new version doesn't start, the previous one keeps running.

4. Turn on auto-deploy

   Add the webhook shown on your app page to GitHub. Every push then redeploys automatically.

5. Connect your domain (optional)

   On your app page, add your domain under Custom domains. Add the TXT record and the CNAME (or A record for a root domain) we show you, then press Verify. We set up HTTPS automatically.
