Providers

Analog supports deployment to many providers with little or no additional configuration using Nitro as its underlying server engine. You can find more providers in the Nitro deployment docs.

Netlify​

Analog supports deploying on Netlify with minimal configuration.

In the build settings of your Netlify project, set the Publish directory to dist/analog/public to deploy the static assets and the Functions directory to dist/analog to deploy the server.

Vercel​

Analog supports deploying on Vercel with no additional configuration.

Deploying the Project​

By default, when deploying to Vercel, the build preset is handled automatically.

  1. Create a new project and select the repository that contains your code.

  2. Click 'Deploy'.

And that's it!

Setting the Preset Manually​

There might be a case where Vercel doesn't load the preset automatically. In that case, you can do one of the following.

  • Set the BUILD_PRESET environment variable to vercel.
  • Set the preset in the vite.config.ts file:
import { defineConfig } from 'vite';
import analog from '@analogjs/platform';

// https://vitejs.dev/config/
export default defineConfig(({ mode }) => ({
  /// ...other config
  plugins: [
    analog({
      nitro: {
        preset: 'vercel',
      },
    }),
  ],
}));

Nx and Vercel​

When using Nx and reusing the build cache on the Vercel build platform, there is a possibility that the cache is reused if you have built it locally. This can lead to the output being placed in the wrong location. To resolve this issue, you can use the preset in the vite.config.ts file as a workaround.

Cloudflare Pages and Workers​

Analog supports deploying to Cloudflare pages and workers with some configuration.

Updating the Server Entry Point​

The main.server.ts file should be updated to provide the full URL and the APP_BASE_HREF token on the server for Cloudflare support.

import { renderApplication } from '@angular/platform-server';
import { APP_BASE_HREF } from '@angular/common';
/// imports and bootstrap code ...

export default async function render(url: string, document: string) {
  // set the base href
  const baseHref = process.env['CF_PAGES_URL'] ?? `http://localhost:8888`;

  // Use the full URL and provide the APP_BASE_HREF
  const html = await renderApplication(bootstrap, {
    document,
    url: `${baseHref}${url}`,
    platformProviders: [{ provide: APP_BASE_HREF, useValue: baseHref }],
  });

  return html;
}

Setting the Output Directory​

For the Cloudflare deployment, set the output as below. This combines the static assets, along with the Cloudflare worker in the same output directory.

import { defineConfig } from 'vite';
import analog from '@analogjs/platform';

// https://vitejs.dev/config/
export default defineConfig(({ mode }) => ({
  /// ...other config
  plugins: [
    analog({
      nitro: {
        output: {
          dir: './dist/analog/public',
          serverDir: './dist/analog/public',
        },
      },
    }),
  ],
}));

Deploying to Cloudflare​

To connect your repository and deploy automatically to Cloudflare:

  1. Log in to the Cloudflare dashboard and select your account.
  2. In Account Home, select Workers & Pages.
  3. Select Create application > Pages > Connect to Git.
  4. Enter npm run build as the Build Command.
  5. Enter dist/analog/public as the Build output directory.
  6. Leave the other default settings, click Save and Deploy.

The application deploys to Cloudflare's network on each push to the repository.

Running the application locally using Wrangler​

You can also preview the application running on Cloudflare locally:

  1. Set the environment variable BUILD_PRESET to cloudflare-pages before running the build
BUILD_PRESET=cloudflare-pages npm run build
  1. Use the wrangler CLI to run the application locally
npx wrangler pages dev ./dist/analog/public

Firebase​

Analog supports Firebase Hosting with Cloud Functions out of the box.

See a Sample Repo with Firebase configured

Note: You need to be on the Blaze plan to use Analog with Cloud Functions.

If you don't already have a firebase.json in your root directory, Analog will create one the first time you run it. In this file, you will need to replace <your_project_id> with the ID of your Firebase project.

This file should then be committed to version control. You can also create a .firebaserc file if you don't want to manually pass your project ID to your firebase commands (with --project <your_project_id>):

{
  "projects": {
    "default": "<your_project_id>"
  }
}

Then, just add Firebase dependencies to your project:

npm install -D firebase-admin firebase-functions firebase-functions-test

Using Firebase CLI​

If prefer to set up your project with the Firebase CLI, which will fetch your project ID for you, add required dependencies (see above) and even set up automated deployments with GitHub Actions.

Install Firebase CLI globally​

npm install -g firebase-tools

Note: You need to be on ^11.18.0 to deploy a nodejs18 function.

Initialize your Firebase project​

firebase login
firebase init hosting

When prompted, enter dist/analog/public as the public directory.

In the next step, do not configure your project as a single-page app.

After setup completes, add the following to your firebase.json to enable server rendering in Cloud Functions:

{
  "functions": { "source": "dist/analog/server" },
  "hosting": [
    {
      "site": "<your_project_id>",
      "public": "dist/analog/public",
      "cleanUrls": true,
      "rewrites": [{ "source": "**", "function": "server" }]
    }
  ]
}

You can find more details in the Firebase documentation.

Local preview​

You can preview a local version of your site to test things out without deploying.

BUILD_PRESET=firebase npm run build
firebase emulators:start

Deploy to Firebase Hosting using the CLI​

To deploy to Firebase Hosting, run the firebase deploy command.

BUILD_PRESET=firebase npm run build
firebase deploy

Render.com​

Analog supports deploying on Render with minimal configuration.

Web Service Deployment​

  1. Create a new Web Service and select the repository that contains your code.

  2. Ensure the 'Node' environment is selected.

  3. Specify your Node version for Render to use (v18.13.0 or higher recommended) - Render by default uses Node 14, which fails to correctly build an Analog site

  4. Depending on your package manager, set the build command to yarn && yarn build, npm install && npm run build, or pnpm i --shamefully-hoist && pnpm build.

  5. Update the start command to node dist/analog/server/index.mjs

  6. Click 'Advanced' and add an environment variable with BUILD_PRESET set to render-com.

  7. Click 'Create Web Service'.

Static Site Deployment​

If using Analog to pre-render static content, you can deploy a static site on Render with minimal configuration

  1. Create a new Static Site and select the repository that contains your code.

  2. Depending on your package manager, set the build command to yarn && yarn build, npm install && npm run build, or pnpm i --shamefully-hoist && pnpm build..

  3. Set the publish directory to the public directory inside of the dist build directory (e.g. dist/analog/public)

  4. Click 'Create Static Site'

Edgio​

Analog supports deploying on Edgio with minimal configuration.

  1. Install the Edgio CLI:
npm i -g @edgio/cli
  1. In your project's directory, initialize Edgio:
edgio init --connector=@edgio/analogjs
  1. Deploy To Edgio
edgio deploy
