# Deploy Your VitePress Site
|
|
|
|
The following guides are based on some shared assumptions:
|
|
|
|
- The VitePress site is inside the `docs` directory of your project.
|
|
- You are using the default build output directory (`.vitepress/dist`).
|
|
- VitePress is installed as a local dependency in your project, and you have set up the following scripts in your `package.json`:
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"scripts": {
|
|
"docs:build": "vitepress build docs",
|
|
"docs:preview": "vitepress preview docs"
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Build and Test Locally
|
|
|
|
1. Run this command to build the docs:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
$ npm run docs:build
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
2. Once built, preview it locally by running:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
$ npm run docs:preview
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The `preview` command will boot up a local static web server that will serve the output directory `.vitepress/dist` at `http://localhost:4173`. You can use this to make sure everything looks good before pushing to production.
|
|
|
|
3. You can configure the port of the server by passing `--port` as an argument.
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"scripts": {
|
|
"docs:preview": "vitepress preview docs --port 8080"
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Now the `docs:preview` method will launch the server at `http://localhost:8080`.
|
|
|
|
## Setting a Public Base Path
|
|
|
|
By default, we assume the site is going to be deployed at the root path of a domain (`/`). If your site is going to be served at a sub-path, e.g. `https://mywebsite.com/blog/`, then you need to set the [`base`](../reference/site-config#base) option to `'/blog/'` in the VitePress config.
|
|
|
|
**Example:** If you're using Github (or GitLab) Pages and deploying to `user.github.io/repo/`, then set your `base` to `/repo/`.
|
|
|
|
## HTTP Cache Headers
|
|
|
|
If you have control over the HTTP headers on your production server, you can configure `cache-control` headers to achieve better performance on repeated visits.
|
|
|
|
The production build uses hashed file names for static assets (JavaScript, CSS and other imported assets not in `public`). If you inspect the production preview using your browser devtools' network tab, you will see files like `app.4f283b18.js`.
|
|
|
|
This `4f283b18` hash is generated from the content of this file. The same hashed URL is guaranteed to serve the same file content - if the contents change, the URLs change too. This means you can safely use the strongest cache headers for these files. All such files will be placed under `assets/` in the output directory, so you can configure the following header for them:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
Cache-Control: max-age=31536000,immutable
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
::: details Example Netlify `_headers` file
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
/assets/*
|
|
cache-control: max-age=31536000
|
|
cache-control: immutable
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Note: the `_headers` file should be placed in the [public directory](./asset-handling#the-public-directory) - in our case, `docs/public/_headers` - so that it is copied verbatim to the output directory.

|
{

|
"source": "/assets/(.*)",
|
|
"headers": [
|
|

"key": "Cache-Control",

"value": "max-age=31536000, immutable"
|
|
}
|
|
]
|
|
}
|
|
]
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Note: the `vercel.json` file should be placed at the root of your **repository**.

## Platform Guides
|
|
|
|
### Netlify / Vercel / Cloudflare Pages / AWS Amplify / Render
|
|
|
|
Set up a new project and change these settings using your dashboard:
|
|
|
|
- **Build Command:** `npm run docs:build`
|
|
- **Output Directory:** `docs/.vitepress/dist`
|
|
- **Node Version:** `18` (or above)
|
|
|
|
::: warning
|
|
Don't enable options like _Auto Minify_ for HTML code. It will remove comments from output which have meaning to Vue. You may see hydration mismatch errors if they get removed.
|
|
:::
|
|
|
|
### GitHub Pages
|
|
|
|
1. Create a file named `deploy.yml` inside `.github/workflows` directory of your project with some content like this:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
# Sample workflow for building and deploying a VitePress site to GitHub Pages
|
|
#
|
|
name: Deploy VitePress site to Pages
|
|
|
|
on:
|
|
# Runs on pushes targeting the `main` branch. Change this to `master` if you're
|
|
# using the `master` branch as the default branch.
|
|
push:
|
|
branches: [main]
|
|
|
|
# Allows you to run this workflow manually from the Actions tab
|
|
workflow_dispatch:
|
|
|
|
# Sets permissions of the GITHUB_TOKEN to allow deployment to GitHub Pages
|
|
permissions:
|
|
contents: read
|
|
pages: write
|
|
id-token: write
|
|
|
|
# Allow only one concurrent deployment, skipping runs queued between the run in-progress and latest queued.
|
|
# However, do NOT cancel in-progress runs as we want to allow these production deployments to complete.
|
|
concurrency:
|
|
group: pages
|
|
cancel-in-progress: false
|
|
|
|
jobs:
|
|

|
|
|
|
::: warning
|
|
Make sure the `base` option in your VitePress is properly configured. See [Setting a Public Base Path](#setting-a-public-base-path) for more details.
|
|
:::
|
|
|
|
2. In your repository's settings under "Pages" menu item, select "GitHub Actions" in "Build and deployment > Source".
|
|
|
|
3. Push your changes to the `main` branch and wait for the GitHub Actions workflow to complete. You should see your site deployed to `https://<username>.github.io/[repository]/` or `https://<custom-domain>/` depending on your settings. Your site will automatically be deployed on every push to the `main` branch.
|
|
|
|
### GitLab Pages
|
|
|
|
1. Set `outDir` in VitePress config to `../public`. Configure `base` option to `'/<repository>/'` if you want to deploy to `https://<username>.gitlab.io/<repository>/`.
|
|
|
|
2. Create a file named `.gitlab-ci.yml` in the root of your project with the content below. This will build and deploy your site whenever you make changes to your content:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
image: node:18
|
|
pages:
|
|
cache:
|
|
paths:
|
|
- node_modules/
|
|
script:
|
|
# - apk add git # Uncomment this if you're using small docker images like alpine and have lastUpdated enabled
|
|
- npm install
|
|
- npm run docs:build
|
|
artifacts:
|
|
paths:
|
|
- public
|
|
only:
|
|
- main
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Azure Static Web Apps
|
|
|
|
1. Follow the [official documentation](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/static-web-apps/build-configuration).
|
|
|
|
2. Set these values in your configuration file (and remove the ones you don't require, like `api_location`):
|
|
|
|
- **`app_location`**: `/`
|
|
- **`output_location`**: `docs/.vitepress/dist`
|
|
- **`app_build_command`**: `npm run docs:build`
|
|
|
|
### Firebase
|
|
|
|
1. Create `firebase.json` and `.firebaserc` at the root of your project:
|
|
|
|
`firebase.json`:
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"hosting": {
|
|
"public": "docs/.vitepress/dist",
|
|
"ignore": []
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
`.firebaserc`:
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"projects": {
|
|
"default": "<YOUR_FIREBASE_ID>"
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
2. After running `npm run docs:build`, run this command to deploy:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
firebase deploy
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Surge
|
|
|
|
1. After running `npm run docs:build`, run this command to deploy:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
npx surge docs/.vitepress/dist
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Heroku
|
|
|
|
1. Follow documentation and guide given in [`heroku-buildpack-static`](https://elements.heroku.com/buildpacks/heroku/heroku-buildpack-static).
|
|
|
|
2. Create a file called `static.json` in the root of your project with the below content:
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"root": "docs/.vitepress/dist"
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Edgio
