From choice to app

A short path to
a usable deployment.

  1. 01

    Choose Nginx

    The page opens the exact console template. Pick a server size and one of six locations, then submit.

  2. 02

    Set access

    There is no website login. You publish by copying your files over SSH into the content folder the console shows in Overview, using a project SSH key.

  3. 03

    Let it start

    The console tracks provisioning, gives the app a generated HTTPS address and shows host CPU and memory after launch.

  4. 04

    Make it yours

    Add a project SSH key, then upload your files to the content folder shown in Overview. Attach a custom domain in Settings when you are ready.

Know before deploy

The operational details
that matter.

There is no website login and no browser uploader. Nginx starts with a welcome page that you replace by copying your files over SSH into the content folder shown in Overview, using a project SSH key.

Frequently asked questions

Is Nginx available as a one-click template?
Yes. Nginx is one of 35 configurations in the console's global template chooser. The marketing page links directly to that configuration.
How much does it cost to run Nginx?
Recommended from 4 GB RAM, from ~$0.02/hr (EU). The app adds no separate fee. You pay only for the project server it runs on, by the hour against prepaid credits.
How do I upload my site to Nginx?
Add a project SSH key, connect as the shell user and copy your files into the content folder the console shows in Overview. Nginx serves the changes immediately. There is no browser uploader.
Can Nginx run server-side code?
No. This template serves static files: HTML, CSS, JavaScript and images. For an app that runs code, deploy it from GitHub into the same project instead.
How do I sign in to Nginx?
There is no website login. You publish by copying your files over SSH into the content folder the console shows in Overview, using a project SSH key.
Can I use my own domain for Nginx?
The app first receives a generated HTTPS address. After it is running, add one customer-owned domain from the resource Settings screen and follow the DNS instructions.
What does Selfhost.dev manage for this deployment?
Selfhost.dev provisions and maintains the project server, starts the Nginx template and shows server CPU and memory metrics. The application and its data run on that single server; optional backups protect the whole project VM.
