Build & deploy logs

Stream live build and deployment logs from the HostKB dashboard so you can verify releases and fix failures quickly.

Open applicationsDeploy from GitHub

Build logs (Git apps)

See compiler, install, and image build output as it runs.

  1. Open your application.
  2. Go to Builds.
  3. Start a build, or select a past build in the history list.
  4. Watch the live log panel until status is Succeeded or Failed.

If a build fails, read the last error lines, fix the repo or build settings, then start another build (or push again when auto-deploy is on).

Deployment logs

Follow the release until the app is Running.

  1. Open your application → Deployments.
  2. Click Deploy, or select an existing deployment.
  3. Use the live logs to confirm the rollout completes.

After env var changes, deploy again so the live app picks up new values — see environment variables.

Tips

  • Keep the Builds or Deployments page open while a job is in progress to stream logs.
  • Compare a failed build with the last successful one to spot dependency or config diffs.
  • Certificate warnings right after the first deploy are often temporary — wait a minute and retry the app URL (custom domains & HTTPS).
