Getting Started
Introduction
Welcome to Lynfera. We’ve designed the onboarding process to be as lean as possible—no complex permissions or app installations required. We clone, we build, and we deploy.
Before you begin
To get started, create an account with Lynfera.
Once you create an account, you can choose to authenticate either with a Git provider or by using an email. When using email authentication, you may need to confirm both your email using OTP.
Understanding Projects & Deployments
To get started with Lynfera, it's helpful to understand projects and deployments:
- Projects: A project is the application that you have deployed to Lynfera. You can have multiple projects connected to a single repository (for example, a monorepo), and multiple deployments for each project. You can view all your projects on the dashboard, and configure your settings through the project dashboard.
- Deployments: A deployment is the result of a successful build of your project.
Starting a project
Lynfera hosts any static web project. We automatically detect your framework settings to ensure optimal build and deployment configurations.
We currently clone public repositories directly into our secure build environment—no access tokens required. More features for private repos are coming soon.
- Go to the New Project page
- Fill out the project details: **Project Name**, **Public Git URL**, and **Branch**.
- (Optional) Open **Advanced Settings** to configure monorepo root directories, custom build/install commands, or environment variables. More info
- Click **Deploy** to start your first build.
