Deploy from the Dashboard

Varity Team Core Contributors Updated June 2026

The dashboard is the simplest way to deploy. No command line, no local setup. Connect a GitHub repo (or paste its URL), deploy a Docker image, or start from a template, and Varity takes it live.

This is the path most people use. If you prefer the terminal, see Deploy Your App for the CLI.

Before You Start

Section titled “Before You Start”
  • A Varity account. Sign in at developer.store.varity.so.
  • A payment method on file. Varity asks for a card before your first deploy so your app can go live and stay live; you are billed a flat monthly price for the hardware your app reserves, not for traffic. See Billing.
  • Your app’s source: a public GitHub repo, a connected GitHub account, or a public Docker image.

Deploy in a Few Steps

Section titled “Deploy in a Few Steps”

  1. Sign in to the dashboard

    Go to developer.store.varity.so and sign in. Open Deploy to start a new deployment.

  2. Choose your source

    Pick one of:

    • GitHub repo: paste a repository URL, or connect your GitHub account and browse your repos.
    • Docker image: provide a public image reference (for example nginx:latest or ghcr.io/acme/api:1.4). This is also the path for any language Varity doesn’t build from source yet.
    • Template: pick a ready-made app from the gallery and deploy it as-is.

  3. Name and configure

    Give your app a name (this becomes its URL) and add any environment variables your app needs. Varity auto-detects your framework and wires up databases and other services it finds in your project.

  4. Deploy

    Press deploy. Varity builds (when needed), provisions services, and brings your app online. You’ll see live progress as it goes.

  5. Open your live app

    When it’s ready, you get a live URL:

    • Static sites: https://varity.app/<your-app>/
    • Dynamic apps (servers, APIs, full-stack): https://<your-app>.varity.app/

Manage Your App

Section titled “Manage Your App”

Everything after deploy lives in the dashboard:

Status & activity

See whether your app is live, and follow each deployment’s progress.

Logs

View your app’s output to diagnose issues.

Cost

See your flat monthly cost per app. It doesn’t move with traffic.

Delete

Remove an app from the dashboard. Deleting stops its billing immediately.
