Deploy with CloudRay

You can deploy your Redwood app using CloudRay, a centralised platform that helps you manage your servers, organize Bash scripts, and automate deployment tasks across virtual machines and cloud servers.

:::note CloudRay itself does not host your site. Instead, it provides automation tools to run deployment scripts on your own infrastructure (e.g., Ubuntu servers) using a connected agent. :::

Prerequisites

To get started, you’ll need:

• A CloudRay account
• Your RedwoodJS project stored in a GitHub repository

How to Deploy through the CloudRay Dashboard

Deployment with CloudRay generally involves three main steps:

1. Install the CloudRay Agent on your server to securely register your machine and enable remote automation.
2. In the CloudRay dashboard, write a reusable Bash script that clones your RedwoodJS repo, installs dependencies, builds the project, and configures a web server (e.g, Nginx or Caddy). You can define repo-specific values using CloudRay’s variable groups.
3. Use CloudRay’s Runlog interface to execute your script on the connected server and monitor the deployment process in real time.
