Quickstart: your first deploy

This is the fastest way to get something live on Clusra. You need a GitHub account and a repo with an index.html in it. Hosting is free.

Before you start

• A Clusra account. Sign up with GitHub if you don't have one.
• A repo on GitHub with your site's files. Plain HTML, CSS and JS works straight away.
• Using React, Vite or Next.js? Read Deploy React, Vite or Next.js today first, because we don't run builds yet.

Deploy in four steps

1. 1
   Open the dashboard and click New project (or go to /dashboard/projects/new).
2. 2
   Click Connect GitHub, install the Clusra GitHub App and choose which repos it can see. You only do this once. See Connect GitHub.
3. 3
   Pick your repo and branch. Clusra tries to detect the framework; pick Static HTML if it guessed wrong.
4. 4
   Check the project name and Root directory, then click Deploy.

The deploy runs in the background. Your project page shows the status moving from queued to building to success (or failed).

Your link

When it's done, your site is live at <name>.clusra.app, where <name> comes from your project name. Share it, post it on Rant, flex small.
