Complete Example

Use host: '0.0.0.0' in fastify.listen(). Fastify by default listens only on localhost, preventing external connections inside the container.

Deploy

  1. Compress the project into a .zip (folders like node_modules, venv and target are removed automatically) or push it to GitHub.
  2. In the dashboard, click New Project and upload the .zip or paste the repository URL.
  3. In Build, check the runtime (JavaScript), the main file (index.js) and the memory. Start and build commands are under Advanced settings.
  4. Add your environment variables in Environment.
  5. In Network, turn on web publishing so the app gets a *.vertraweb.app address (512 MB of memory or more). The app must listen on port 80.
  6. Review and deploy. Follow the output in the Logs tab.
The full walkthrough is in First deploy.
