Install script:
curl -fsSL https://sh.haloy.dev/install-haloy.sh | bashHomebrew (macOS / Linux):
brew install haloydev/tap/haloyUse the server setup command to provision your server automatically. This command will SSH into your server as root (default), install Docker if needed, install haloyadm, and configure the remote haloyd service.
haloy server setup <server-ip> --api-domain haloy.yourserver.com --acme-email you@email.comNote: This command requires SSH access to the root user on the server. If you don't have this or if you prefer to install manually, check the Server Installation guide.
Create a haloy.yaml file:
name: "my-app"
server: haloy.yourserver.com
domains:
- domain: "my-app.com"
aliases:
- "www.my-app.com" # Redirects to my-app.comThis will look for a Dockerfile in the same directory as your config file, build it and upload it to the server. This is the Haloy configuration in its simplest form.
Check out the examples repository for complete configurations showing how to deploy common web apps like Next.js, TanStack Start, static sites, and more.
haloy deploy
# Check status
