Getting started

Openfront runs on Next.js, so you can host it anywhere that supports Node.js. You'll also need a postgres database.

1-Click Deployment

These platforms include Node.js and postgres databases for 1-click deployment.

Railway

Render

Vercel

Netlify

For platforms like Netlify and Vercel that don't include databases, you'll need to add a postgres connection string as the DATABASE_URL variable.

Go to site settings > build & deploy > environment and add these variables:

DATABASE_URL=postgresql://postgres:example@url:3000/postgres
SESSION_SECRET=your-secure-session-secret-key

Replace DATABASE_URL with a postgres database connection string. Redeploy the site.
