Deploy Nuxt

Deploy a Nuxt app on Ownkube in minutes. Push your repo and Ownkube builds it and ships it, and you get a live URL with automatic TLS. Managed Postgres, logs, metrics, and one-click rollbacks come built in. No cloud account to start.

What you’ll need

Section titled “What you’ll need”
  • A Nuxt app in a GitHub or GitLab repository
  • About five minutes

Deploy it

Section titled “Deploy it”

  1. Connect your repo

    Sign in at app.ownkube.io/login, open Settings, and connect the GitHub App (or GitLab) so Ownkube can reach your repository. Already have a prebuilt image in a registry? Point Ownkube at it instead. See Registries.

  2. Create a Web deployment

    From your dashboard, choose Create deployment, pick Web, and select your Nuxt repo. Ownkube builds it and pushes the image to a registry it manages for you.

  3. Set the port

    The Nitro server listens on port 3000 by default and honors PORT and NITRO_PORT. Nitro binds to 0.0.0.0 by default, but if your setup overrides HOST, keep it at 0.0.0.0 so the app stays reachable. Set 3000 as the port so traffic routes to your app. You can change it later in Settings.

  4. Add environment variables

    Add any KEY=value pairs your runtimeConfig reads, and mark secrets with the Secret toggle. See Environment variables.

  5. Deploy

    Click Create deployment. The deployment page streams the build, then startup and health checks. When the status goes healthy, open the generated hostname on the Overview tab. Your Nuxt app is live, with TLS included.

Notes for Nuxt

Section titled “Notes for Nuxt”

Port 3000

The Nitro server listens on port 3000 by default and honors PORT and NITRO_PORT. Set that as the port in Ownkube.

Set HOST=0.0.0.0

Nitro binds to 0.0.0.0 by default, but if your setup overrides HOST, keep it at 0.0.0.0 so the app stays reachable.

Runtime config env vars

Values under runtimeConfig in nuxt.config are overridden by matching environment variables at runtime. Set them as deployment env vars.

Bring your own Dockerfile

Want full control of the build? Add a Dockerfile to your repo and Ownkube uses it, reading the port from its EXPOSE line.

Add a database

Section titled “Add a database”

Need Postgres? Add a Database in one click and Ownkube injects the connection string as DATABASE_URL (plus PGHOST, PGUSER, and friends) into your app. See Databases.

Scale and observe

Section titled “Scale and observe”

Once you’re running, turn on autoscaling on CPU and memory, watch logs and metrics on every deployment, and roll back a bad deploy in one click.
