Getting started

Openship uses Next.js, so naturally, it can be hosted anywhere that supports Node.js. Openship also requires a postgres database.

1-Click Deployment

These deployment services offer Node.js and postgres databases so Openship can be deployed in 1-click.

Railway

Render

Vercel

Netlify

To deploy on platforms that don't support databases like Netlify and Vercel, you'll need to pass a postgres connection string as the DATABASE_URL variable.

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

FRONTEND_URL=http://localhost:3000
DATABASE_URL=postgresql://postgres:example@url:3000/postgres
SESSION_SECRET=oh_please_please_change_me

Replace DATABASE_URL with a postgres database connection string and FRONTEND_URL with the url ending in netlify.app. Redeploy the site.
