When your website is ready, deploying makes it publicly accessible. The site is hosted on a global edge network, so it loads fast from anywhere in the world.

How to deploy

1

Click the Publish button

In the website header (above the preview panel), click the Publish button. A panel appears with deployment options.

2

Customize your subdomain

Your site gets a default subdomain like bright-ocean-sparrow.runable.site. You can change this to something shorter or branded.

Set visibility

Choose whether your site is public (anyone with the link can access it) or private (restricted access).
4

Publish

Click Publish. The system builds your site, runs database migrations if needed, and deploys it. This takes up to a few minutes.Once deployed, your site is live at https://your-subdomain.runable.site.
Creating and deploying a website does not cost credits. Credits are only used if your website calls the AI gateway for AI-powered features.

Re-publishing after changes

When you make changes to your website in the chat, the changes are visible in the live preview but not on the deployed site. To update the deployed site, click Publish again. Each publish creates a fresh build and deployment.

Deployment URLs

Live sitehttps://your-subdomain.runable.site
Custom domainhttps://yourdomain.com (see Custom Domains)

Download your code

Click the Download ZIP button in the website header to download the entire website source code. You can run it locally or host it elsewhere.

Export to GitHub

Click the GitHub button in the website header to push your code to a GitHub repository. The agent generates SSH keys and creates the repository for you.

What you cannot do

  • You cannot deploy to a custom server or hosting provider directly. Websites deploy to the Runable infrastructure. Download the ZIP to self-host.
  • You cannot set a custom build command. The build process is automated.
  • You cannot roll back a deployment to a previous version from the dashboard. Use Rollback in the chat to return to a previous state, then re-publish.
