Deploy the Remotion Studio on a VPS

available from v4.0.46

You can deploy the Remotion Studio to a long-running server in the cloud and make the render UI accessible to your team.
To do so, you need to:

Install Node.js and Chrome
Run npx remotion studio on the server
Ensure port 3000 is available to the internet

The following examples have been tested with the Hello World template initialized using npx create-video@latest.

Dockerizing the Remotion Studio

docker

FROM node:22-bookworm-slim

# Install Chrome dependencies
RUN apt-get update
RUN apt install -y \
  libnss3 \
  libdbus-1-3 \
  libatk1.0-0 \
  libgbm-dev \
  libasound2 \
  libxrandr2 \
  libxkbcommon-dev \
  libxfixes3 \
  libxcomposite1 \
  libxdamage1 \
  libatk-bridge2.0-0 \
  libpango-1.0-0 \
  libcairo2 \
  libcups2

# Copy everything from your project to the Docker image. Adjust if needed.
COPY package.json package*.json yarn.lock* pnpm-lock.yaml* bun.lockb* bun.lock* tsconfig.json* remotion.config.* ./
COPY src ./src

# If you have a public folder:
COPY public ./public

# Install the right package manager and dependencies - see below for Yarn/PNPM
RUN npm i

# Install Chrome
RUN npx remotion browser ensure

CMD ["npx", "remotion", "studio"]

Fly.io

To deploy the Remotion Studio to Fly.io:

First add the above Dockerfile to the repo.
Make the following change to the Dockerfile (works from v4.0.125):

diff

- CMD ["npx", "remotion", "studio"]
+ CMD ["npx", "remotion", "studio", "--ipv4"]

Ensure you are on a paid plan (free plan has too little memory)
Use the following command:

bash

fly launch \
  # Get 2 CPU cores and 4GB of memory
  --vm-size=performance-2x \
  # Disable 2x replication
  --ha=false \
  # Use Remotion's port
  --internal-port=3000 \
  # Use Docker, not Node
  --dockerfile Dockerfile

For the following questions, answer no:

txt

? Would you like to set up a Postgresql database now? No
? Would you like to set up an Upstash Redis database now? No
? Create .dockerignore from 1 .gitignore files? No

Answer Yes when asking if you want to deploy:

? Do you want to deploy now? Yes

You should get a URL where the Studio was deployed!

Render.com

To deploy the Remotion Studio to Render.com:

First add the above Dockerfile to the repo.
Create a new "Web Service" and link your repository.
Choose at least the "Standard" plan (2GB Memory).
Deploy!

DigitalOcean App Platform

Is not working at the moment. The Render Button is disabled, because the DigitalOcean HTTP Proxy does not support server-sent events.

A normal DigitalOcean droplet does work, though.

Scaleway Serverless Container

To deploy the Scaleway Serverless Container:

First add the above Dockerfile to the repository
Build your docker image and publish it to a Docker registry (for example a Scaleway Docker Registry)
Then create your Serverless container namespace and use your published docker image.

You can find an example of a github action workflow that deploy Remotion Studio to Scaleway Serverless Container.

Example for deployment

A test project to deploy the Remotion Studio is available here.
