Quick Start Guide

Step 1: A New Project

First, make sure you are logged in to the Roundrobin dashboard.

From your dashboard, click the "New Project" button. You'll be asked to connect your Git repository. You can choose between GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket. You can also provide a raw repository URL.

Once you've connected your Git service, you can choose the repository. The project name will be automatically generated from the repository name. Feel free to change the project name if you want.

Step 2: Choose a Plan

Choose a plan that fits your needs. If you're not sure which plan to choose, you can always upgrade later easily with no downtime thanks to our scaling feature.

See our pricing page for more information on plans and pricing.

Step 3: Optional Configuration

You can optionally configure the build & start commands of your project. These are the commands that will be run to build and start your application.

You can also add some environment variables if your project needs them to run. The environment variables are encrypted and securely stored. Read more about environment variables.

Step 4: Deploy

Click "Create Project" to create your project. A deployment will be created automatically if you left automatic deployments enabled in the project settings.

Alternatively, you can click "Deploy" to start your first deployment manually. Roundrobin will:

  1. Clone your repository
  2. Install dependencies
  3. Build the project
  4. Start your application
  5. Assign a public URL

You can monitor the deployment progress in real-time through the deployment logs.

Step 5: Access Your Application

Once deployed, your application will be available at a URL like:

https://your-project-your-organization.roundrobinapp.com

You can see the exact URL from the deployment page:

  1. Click on the project in the dashboard
  2. Open the Deployments tab
  3. Click on the deployment to see the details
  4. Click on the "Visit" button in the top right corner to open your application in a new tab
