Deploy Nuxt in 60 Seconds

Nuxt is the intuitive Vue framework for building full-stack web applications. Deploy Nuxt 3 with SSR, Nitro server engine, and auto-imports - one command, real server.

The usual way to deploy Nuxt

Nitro server presets are confusing - Node, Deno, Cloudflare, Vercel - picking the right one and configuring it
Building locally works but .output/server directory structure breaks in production with missing dependencies
Configuring a process manager (PM2) to run the Nitro server with correct host and port bindings
Managing nuxt.config.ts runtime config vs build-time config and environment variable injection
Setting up SSL termination and reverse proxy when Nitro listens on localhost:3000

Nitro is powerful but its deployment matrix is overwhelming for a simple production deploy.

Or just run one command

$ instapods deploy my-nuxt-app --preset nodejs

→ Uploading files...

→ Installing dependencies (npm install)...

→ Building (nuxt build)...

→ Starting Nitro server...

Nuxt deployment notes

Nitro Preset

InstaPods runs the default Node.js Nitro preset. No need to configure a special preset - just nuxt build and node .output/server/index.mjs works out of the box.

Runtime Config

Use runtimeConfig in nuxt.config.ts for server-side secrets. Set environment variables via the InstaPods dashboard and they will be available at runtime.

Static Generation

If your app is fully static, run nuxt generate and deploy with --preset static instead. Saves resources and is faster.
