How to deploy Node.js on HostKB

Free deployment from Git: connect repo → build → deploy → HTTPS URL.

  1. Create a free HostKB account and open a project.
  2. Create an application with source type Git Repository (deploy from GitHub guide).
  3. Add a Dockerfile (or use Railpack when available) so the platform can build your Node.js app.
  4. Set environment variables, then click Build and Deploy.
  5. Open your app URL and attach a custom domain when you go live.

Node.js Dockerfile tip

Expose your HTTP port in the Dockerfile (for example EXPOSE 3000) and make sure the container CMD starts your Node server listening on 0.0.0.0.

Why use HostKB for Node.js

  • One place to host and deploy — free to start, grow when you need
  • Works for APIs, web apps, and containerized services — not only static sites
  • Scale later with app sizes without changing your Git workflow
