Quickstart

Deploy your first app in about 90 seconds.

This guide takes you from zero to a live URL. You'll install the CLI, log in, and deploy an app straight from your current directory.

1. Install the CLI

bash
npm i -g runko-cli
# or: brew install runko

2. Log in

Authenticate with your Runko account. This opens a browser and stores a token in ~/.runko/config.json.

bash
runko login

3. Deploy

From the root of your project, run:

bash
runko init    # detects your stack and writes runko.yaml
runko deploy  # builds and ships your app

Runko auto-detects Node, Python, Go, Ruby, Rust, PHP and static sites. If a Dockerfile or docker-compose.yml is present, it uses that instead.

4. Open your app

When the deploy finishes you'll get a live URL with free TLS, like https://my-app.runko.arovi.app. That's it — you're in production.
