Quick Start
Connect a repository, check the build settings we detected, press Deploy. Your site is live on a deploybase.eu URL once the build finishes, usually a minute or two, and every push after that deploys itself.
There is no CLI to install, no workflow file to commit, and no pipeline to write. If you would rather drive deploybase from a script or an agent, the API route at the bottom of this page does the same job.
Prerequisites
Section titled “Prerequisites”- A deploybase account at app.deploybase.eu
- A static site in a Git repository on GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, Codeberg, or any self-hosted Git server
1. Connect your repository
Section titled “1. Connect your repository”From the dashboard, press New Project. The first step is 01 / Source, and there are two ways through it.
GitHub
Section titled “GitHub”Press Connect GitHub. A GitHub window opens where you install the deploybase App and choose which repositories it can see, either all of them or a hand-picked list. When you finish, the window closes and the repository picker appears in its place.
No token to create, no scopes to reason about. You can change which repositories are shared at any time from Adjust GitHub App access in the same picker.
Any other Git provider
Section titled “Any other Git provider”Paste an HTTPS clone URL, for example https://gitlab.com/you/site.git. Public repositories need nothing else. Private ones need an access token with read permission, which you paste in the same step and which we store encrypted.
Which token and which scope depends on the provider. Connecting Git has the table, including the extra permission auto-deploy needs.
2. Check what we detected
Section titled “2. Check what we detected”Step 02 / Deploy shows the settings we worked out from your repository, rather than an empty form for you to fill in:
| Setting | Where it comes from |
|---|---|
| Framework | Config files and dependencies in your repository root |
| Build command | The framework default, for example npm run build |
| Output directory | The framework default, for example dist or build |
| Package manager | Your lockfile, or the packageManager field in package.json |
If we cannot work out the framework we say so rather than guessing, and fall back to a generic npm run build into dist/.
Everything on that screen is editable. If your build script is npm run generate or your output lands in .output/public, change it here and we use your value instead. Supported frameworks lists every default we apply.
Two more fields matter before you press Deploy:
- Branch is the one that deploys to production. It defaults to
main; for a connected GitHub repository the field is a list of your actual branches. - Auto-deploy registers a webhook so every push to that branch deploys on its own. It is on by default for GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket and Codeberg. Self-hosted Git deploys on demand instead.
Your project name decides the site URL: My Blog becomes my-blog.sites.deploybase.eu.
3. Deploy
Section titled “3. Deploy”Press Deploy. The build runs in an isolated container on EU infrastructure (Paris), and the deployment page fills in the build log as it goes, so you can watch the install and build steps rather than waiting on a spinner.
The status moves pending → queued → building → deployed. When it reaches deployed, your site is live at:
https://{slug}.sites.deploybase.euIf it reaches failed instead, the build log holds the reason. Build system covers the common failures.
4. Push
Section titled “4. Push”That is the whole setup. From here on, a push to your default branch builds and promotes to production on its own.
Pushes to any other branch build too, and land on their own URL at https://{branch}-{slug}.previews.deploybase.eu without touching production. See preview deployments.
Production is a pointer to one deployment, not a rebuild, so rolling back is instant: pick an older deployment and promote it. See deployments.
Deploying from the API
Section titled “Deploying from the API”Everything above is also a REST API, which is the right route for CI systems, scripts, and agents. Authenticate with an API key.
Create a project:
curl -X POST https://api.deploybase.eu/api/v1/projects \ -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{"name": "My Blog", "framework": "astro", "git_repo_url": "https://github.com/user/blog.git", "git_provider": "github"}'Trigger a deployment:
curl -X POST https://api.deploybase.eu/api/v1/deployments \ -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{"project_id": "PROJECT_ID", "branch": "main"}'Builds are asynchronous, so poll for the result:
curl https://api.deploybase.eu/api/v1/deployments/DEPLOYMENT_ID \ -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN"The full surface is in the API reference. Agents can also drive deploybase over MCP instead of raw HTTP.
