Publish your Project
Apps built with the Default template can be published directly from the editor, without connecting a separate deployment provider.
You can only publish once the agent has finished responding. This isn't available while the agent is actively working, to avoid publishing a partial or inconsistent build.
Hosting is in the process of being rolled out to all plans. If the option to publish your Project doesn't appear, you may not have access to it yet.
Hosting
To publish your Project:
- Click the Publish button in the top-right corner.
- Choose your subdomain. This can't be changed.
- Click Publish now.
- Wait as Builder publishes your Project.
- Click View Live App to preview your deployed application.
After you publish, you can keep working with the agent. Any further changes won't go live until you publish again.
Domains
The first time you publish, you'll set a permanent Builder-hosted subdomain for your app. This address can't be changed afterward.
You can add a custom domain, but only after your first publish. Custom domains are only available for paid accounts.
Site access control
Team plans
Enterprise plans
Team and Enterprise plan users can restrict access to the published site by requiring a password or requiring that the visiting user is logged in as a user of the same Builder Space.
Enterprise plan members in particular can limit access by IP address.
External repositories
A Project can't be hosted by Builder and connected to an external Git repository at the same time. You can still connect an external Git repo after you publish, but doing so permanently turns off hosting for that Project. If you connect an external repo instead, you lose the ability to publish from the editor.
Apps built with a template other than Default can still connect to an external Git repo, but can't publish this way.
Credits and limits
Publishing draws from your Builder credits, though the amount used for hosting and database activity on its own is minimal.
On Free plans, you're limited to one published app and 15 publishes per month. If a free plan's credit balance reaches zero, the published app goes offline until credits are available again.
