App deployment

Deploy Node.js and Next.js apps to a server you own

Push your app to a VPS and let InfraPilot build it, run it, and put it behind Nginx with SSL. A managed-platform workflow without the managed-platform bill.

The problem

Managed platforms are easy until the invoice

Platforms like Heroku, Render, and Railway make the first deploy painless. The trouble comes later: per-service pricing, metered usage, and egress fees that grow with your app, all on infrastructure you do not control.

The alternative used to be a manual chore. SSH in, pull the code, build it, wire up a process manager, configure Nginx, request a certificate, and repeat every time you ship.

The solution

How InfraPilot handles it

Push-to-deploy from git

Point InfraPilot at a repository and it builds the app, from your Dockerfile or automatically with Nixpacks, then runs it. No external CI required.

Nginx and SSL, automatic

Every app gets a proxy host and a Let's Encrypt certificate, provisioned and renewed for you.

Logs and one-step rollback

Stream build and container logs live, and revert to the previous image in one step if a deploy goes wrong.

Environments and secrets

Keep configuration in an encrypted secrets store bound to the container, instead of .env files that drift and leak.

What you get

  • A git-to-running-app workflow on your own servers
  • No per-service pricing, seat fees, or egress charges
  • Automatic HTTPS and a live view of every deploy
  • A safety net: keep the previous image and roll back in seconds
