Deploy a Next.js app from GitHub

Connect your repository, deploy a release, and check the app before adding your domain.

Connect the source

Choose the GitHub repository and branch that contain the application you actually want to ship. Private repositories require access through the Host Little GitHub App.

Confirm that the application uses its PORT environment variable and binds to 0.0.0.0 so the supported HTTP runtime can reach it.

Create the project

  • Sign in with GitHub and choose a monthly plan.
  • Choose the repository and production branch. Apps run in US East (N. Virginia).
  • Review the monthly usage credit and continue through checkout.

Build and verify the release

Host Little builds an immutable release from an exact source commit in an isolated build environment.

The application must pass its HTTP health check before it receives traffic. Review deployment history and redacted logs if the build, startup, or check fails.

Deliver the app

  • Add required environment variables from the project Runtime page.
  • Open the project address and test a customer path after the deployment is healthy.
  • Add a custom domain and follow the DNS records shown in the portal when the app is ready.

Put the guide into practice.

Create a project, choose the supported GitHub source path, and use the project URL to verify the first release before moving a custom domain.
