Deploy your first app

Get your application running on South African infrastructure in three simple steps.

​
Step 1: Create your account

  1. Go to app.zanode.co.za
  2. Click Sign up and enter your name, email, and password
  3. Check your email for a verification link and click it to activate your account
After verifying your email, you’ll be redirected to the dashboard.

​
Step 2: Create a new project

  1. From your dashboard, click New Project
  2. Choose your project type:
    • GitHub — Deploy from a Git repository
    • WordPress — One-click managed WordPress
If deploying from GitHub:
  1. Click Connect GitHub
  2. Authorize Zanode to access your repositories
  3. Select a repository from your list, or paste a public repo URL manually
  4. Choose the branch to deploy
We only request the permissions needed to read your code and set up webhooks for automatic deploys.
Zanode auto-detects your framework and configures:
  • Build command — e.g., npm run build
  • Start command — e.g., npm start
  • Output directory — e.g., .next, dist, build
You can override these in the Advanced Options section if needed.
Supported frameworks include Next.js, SvelteKit, Astro, Nuxt, Remix, Vite (React/Vue), Express, Fastify, and more.

​
Step 3: Deploy

  1. Enter a project name
  2. Click Create Project
  3. Your first deployment starts automatically—watch the build logs in real-time
Your app will be live at your-project.zano.click within minutes.
