Deploy Strapi

Now you have your configuration for deployment and your app set up to run on Upsun Fixed. Make sure all your code is committed to Git and run git push to your Upsun Fixed environment.

Your code is built, producing a read-only image that’s deployed to a running cluster of containers. If you aren’t using a source integration, the log of the process is returned in your terminal. If you’re using a source integration, you can get the log by running platform activity:log --type environment.push.

When the build finished, you’re given the URL of your deployed environment. Click the URL to see your site.

If your environment wasn’t active and so wasn’t deployed, activate it by running the following command:

platform environment:activate

Additional changes

A standard Strapi site (one created either interactively through npx create-strapi-app@latest my-project or through a template) generates a basic Strapi instance with access to the admin panel without any external services. If this is your starting point, you have all of the configuration necessary to deploy your project. Below are a few modifications that may help you develop your site more efficiently going forward.

Install the Config Reader

You can get all information about a deployed environment, including how to connect to services, through environment variables. Your app can access these variables.

Install the package with your preferred package manager:

npm install platformsh-config

# Or for Yarn
yarn add platformsh-config

Go forth and deploy (even on Friday)!
