Quick Start
Get an app live on HTTPS in a few minutes.
1. Create an account
Sign up at app.dockhosting.dev and verify your email. New accounts get a small token balance to start — enough to deploy your first app.
2. Create a project
From the dashboard, click New Project and either:
- Connect a GitHub repo — we detect the framework, build it, and deploy it, or
- Pick a framework and deploy a starter.
DockHosting auto-detects your stack (Node, Next.js, Python, Go, Laravel, and more) and chooses the right build steps and port for you.
3. Watch it deploy
The project page streams the live build log. When it finishes, your app is
live at a free *.dockhosting.dev subdomain with automatic HTTPS.
Builds run in the background — you can leave the page and come back. The status shows building → running, and the App Logs tab streams your app’s output.
4. Next steps
- Add a database and link it to your app.
- Add a custom domain (or claim a free subdomain).
- Top up tokens so your app keeps running.
- Install the CLI to deploy from your terminal.
