How to host my website?

Configuration file

The first step to host your site on Square Cloud is to create a detailed configuration file. This file is not just a simple text document but a comprehensive guide that defines your application’s settings on Square Cloud. It serves as an architectural blueprint for your project on the platform.Once you have your plan, you need to create this file by detailing each setting and filling it out correctly. Details on how to create this file are available here with a step-by-step guide. Remember to include the following fields in your configuration file:
  • SUBDOMAIN: The subdomain for your site.
    Example: SUBDOMAIN=test (test.squareweb.app)
  • MEMORY: The amount of RAM, with a minimum of 512MB.

Creating the ZIP file

With the configuration file ready, the next step is to prepare your application for upload. This involves placing the application files and the Square Cloud configuration file into a .zip archive.However, not all files need to be included in this .zip. Files like node_modules, package-lock.json, pyproject.toml, poetry.lock, and __pycache__ are not required, as they can be generated automatically on the server side. A list of files that don’t need to be uploaded is available here, helping ensure that only the necessary files are in the .zip, making the upload process faster and smoother.

Dependencies file

Another crucial aspect is including the dependencies file in the .zip. This file tells the Square Cloud platform which dependencies to install for your project. For a Node.js project, this file is package.json, and for a Python project, it’s requirements.txt.These files list the libraries and packages required for your application to function correctly. Keeping these files up to date is crucial to avoid installation errors. Additionally, it’s important to note that native dependencies, such as node-fetch in Node.js and random in Python, should not be included in these files, as they are built-in libraries.

Uploading your site

If you can set a port in your code or the START parameter, always set it to port 80. The only exception is when hosting a Lavalink server—see more here.
After following all the steps and configuring your project for Square Cloud, it’s time to upload your site. Go to the upload page on the Square Cloud website and upload your .zip file here.The process is straightforward: select your .zip file and click the upload button. Square Cloud will begin the deployment process, installing the necessary dependencies and setting up the environment based on your configuration file.
