# Deployment

Deploying the app is very simple, you have different options that I will describe to you.

You can use services like [Vercel](https://vercel.com/) (my favorite), [Netlify](https://www.netlify.com/), or [Render](https://render.com/), or even self-host it on your server if you prefer.

## 5 minutes deploy

These are the steps:

1. Create a private Git repository using [GitHub](https://github.com/) (my favorite), [GitLab](https://about.gitlab.com/), [BitBucket](https://bitbucket.org/product?\&aceid=\&adposition=\&adgroup=146041806431\&campaign=18815940430\&creative=632894031558\&device=c\&keyword=bitbucket\&matchtype=e\&network=g\&placement=\&ds_kids=p74116832382\&ds_e=GOOGLE\&ds_eid=700000001551985\&ds_e1=GOOGLE\&gad_source=1\&gclid=CjwKCAiAvJarBhA1EiwAGgZl0GjqRKbDALOkeJW4nGvLQqob7gquXy1JIeXCRzB_YAJc0nbWrGHvlRoC6MoQAvD_BwE\&gclsrc=aw.ds), or your favorite service.
2. Add the **Shipped** folder to your Git repository (details below)
3. Sign up for Vercel and publish your website in 1-click.

#### 2. How to add the Shipped folder to your Git repository.

Open the Terminal, go to the Shipped folder, and run these commands:

{% code title="terminal" %}

```bash
# unlink the Shipped git repository
git remote remove origin
# add your git repository as a remote
git remote add origin <your git repo link>

```

{% endcode %}

Now, when you create a new commit and push it, the new code will go to your Git repository.

If you linked Vercel, Netlify, or Render, each pushed commit to the `main` branch will trigger a new release.

If you haven't already, sign up to Vercel and connect your GitHub repository.

If you reached this point, your product is live, congrats! 🚀

{% hint style="success" %}
Share your product with me if you want it to be featured on the website of **Shipped**!
{% endhint %}

## Self-hosting

{% hint style="info" %}
This configuration is for skilled engineers, and it takes more time.
{% endhint %}

Running your app is as simple as running this command `npm run start` in the Shipped folder.

This means that you can upload your code to a remote server (like an AWS EC2 or Hetzner instance) and run this command. Your website will be available on port 3000 (but you can customize it with the option `-p <port>`).

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.shipped.club/deployment.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
