VuePress

This is an example of how to set up a static site with VuePress on Kinsta’s Static Site Hosting services from a GitHub repository.

VuePress is a static site generator that allows you to embed dynamic content within your Markdown files using Vue components to produce static HTML pages. More information is available on the VuePress website.

You can also use this quick start template on Kinsta’s Application Hosting without any additional configuration. If you use Application Hosting, theStart command can be left blank for the web process as Kinsta automatically detects the required command during the first deployment.

Kinsta automatically installs dependencies defined in your composer.json file during the deployment process.

1. Log in to GitHub and create a new repository from this template (Use this template > Create a new repository): Kinsta – Hello World – Static Site with VuePress
2. In MyKinsta, add a static site with the Hello World VuePress repository and the following Build settings:
   • Build command: npm run build
   • Node version: 16.20.0
   • Publish directory: ./docs/.vuepress/dist
3. The site is available as soon as the build finishes, and the Hello world page loads at your site’s URL.

Deployment Lifecycle

Whenever you initiate a deployment (through creating an application or re-deploying due to an incoming commit), the npm build the command is run, followed by the npm start command.
