Deploy your Astro Site to Zerops

Zerops is a dev-first cloud platform that can be used to deploy both Static and SSR Astro site.

This guide will walk you through setting up and deploying both Static and SSR Astro sites on Zerops.

Running apps on Zerops requires two steps:

Creating a project
Triggering build & deploy pipeline

Astro Static site on Zerops

Creating a project and a service for Astro Static

Projects and services can be added either through a Project add wizard or imported using a yaml structure:

# see https://docs.zerops.io/references/import for full reference
project:
  name: recipe-astro
services:
  - hostname: app
    type: static

This will create a project called recipe-astro with a Zerops Static service called app.

Deploying your Astro Static site

To tell Zerops how to build and run your site, add a zerops.yml to your repository:

# see https://docs.zerops.io/references/zeropsyml for full reference
zerops:
  - setup: app
    build:
      base: nodejs@20
      buildCommands:
        - npm i
        - npm build
      deployFiles:
        - dist/~
    run:
      base: static

# see https://docs.zerops.io/references/zeropsyml for full reference
zerops:
  - setup: app
    build:
      base: nodejs@20
      buildCommands:
        - pnpm i
        - pnpm build
      deployFiles:
        - dist/~
    run:
      base: static

# see https://docs.zerops.io/references/zeropsyml for full reference
zerops:
  - setup: app
    build:
      base: nodejs@20
      buildCommands:
        - yarn
        - yarn build
      deployFiles:
        - dist/~
    run:
      base: static

Now you can trigger the build & deploy pipeline using the Zerops CLI or by connecting the app service with your GitHub / GitLab repository from inside the service detail.

Astro SSR site on Zerops

Update scripts

Update your start script to run the server output from the Node adapter.

"scripts": {
  "start": "node ./dist/server/entry.mjs",
}

Creating a project and a service for Astro SSR (Node.js)

Projects and services can be added either through a Project add wizard or imported using a yaml structure:

# see https://docs.zerops.io/references/import for full reference
project:
  name: recipe-astro
services:
  - hostname: app
    type: nodejs@20

This will create a project called recipe-astro with Zerops Node.js service called app.

Deploying your Astro SSR site

To tell Zerops how to build and run your site using the official Astro Node.js adapter in standalone mode, add a zerops.yml file to your repository:

# see https://docs.zerops.io/references/zeropsyml for full reference
zerops:
  - setup: app
    build:
      base: nodejs@20
      buildCommands:
        - npm i
        - npm run build
      deployFiles:
        - dist
        - package.json
        - node_modules
    run:
      base: nodejs@20
      ports:
        - port: 3000
          httpSupport: true
      envVariables:
        PORT: 3000
        HOST: 0.0.0.0
      start: npm start

# see https://docs.zerops.io/references/zeropsyml for full reference
zerops:
  - setup: app
    build:
      base: nodejs@20
      buildCommands:
        - pnpm i
        - pnpm run build
      deployFiles:
        - dist
        - package.json
        - node_modules
    run:
      base: nodejs@20
      ports:
        - port: 3000
          httpSupport: true
      envVariables:
        PORT: 3000
        HOST: 0.0.0.0
      start: pnpm start

# see https://docs.zerops.io/references/zeropsyml for full reference
zerops:
  - setup: app
    build:
      base: nodejs@20
      buildCommands:
        - yarn
        - yarn build
      deployFiles:
        - dist
        - package.json
        - node_modules
    run:
      base: nodejs@20
      ports:
        - port: 3000
          httpSupport: true
      envVariables:
        PORT: 3000
        HOST: 0.0.0.0
      start: yarn start

Now you can trigger the build & deploy pipeline using the Zerops CLI or by connecting the app service with your GitHub / GitLab repository from inside the service detail.

Trigger the pipeline using Zerops CLI (zcli)

Install the Zerops CLI.

# To download the zcli binary directly,
# use https://github.com/zeropsio/zcli/releases
npm i -g @zerops/zcli

Open Settings > Access Token Management in the Zerops app and generate a new access token.
Log in using your access token with the following command:
Terminal window
```
zcli login <token>
```
Navigate to the root of your app (where zerops.yml is located) and run the following command to trigger the deploy:
Terminal window
```
zcli push
```
