# Deploy website

> Deploy a site from a ZIP file or a public git repository in hosting-panel.net.

**Deploy Website** publishes a basic static site (or PHP files) onto a domain or subdomain from a **ZIP file** or a **Public git repository**. Go to **Tools** → **Deploy Website**.

You can have **one deploy per domain** for now.

A git-hosted Laravel app can keep gitignored files such as `storage` and `.env` across updates. The panel does **not** run Composer, npm, or Artisan.

## Add a deploy

<Steps>
  <Step title="Log in">
    Log in to your hosting panel at [hosting-panel.net](https://hosting-panel.net).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Open Deploy Website">
    Go to **Tools** → **Deploy Website**. **Website deploys** lists **Domain**, **Source**, **Status**, and **Last deployed**.

    </Frame>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Deploy Website">
    Click **Deploy Website**. Choose the **Domain** (domain or subdomain). Set **Source** to **ZIP file** or **Public git repository**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Set publish path and confirm wipe">
    **Publish subdirectory** is optional. Use it when the site lives in a folder such as `public` or `dist`. Leave it empty to publish at the domain root.

    Check **I am aware that deploying will delete ALL files**. Deploying deletes **all** files in that site directory and cannot be recovered.

    Click **Deploy Website**.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## ZIP file

Upload a `.zip` by dragging it onto the form or browsing for it. PHP and static files are allowed. The archive is unpacked into the site directory.

</Frame>

Limits:

* At most **100,000** files
* Must fit in the free disk space on the account
* Cannot be encrypted
* Cannot contain symlinks

ZIP deploys have **Remove** on the list. They do not have **Webhook** or **Update**.

<Info>
  To publish a new zip, **Remove** the deploy, then add it again with the new file. Direct ZIP updates are not available yet.
</Info>

## Public git repository

Enter **Repository URL** as an `https://` URL to a **public** repository, for example `https://github.com/owner/repo.git`. Private repos and non-HTTPS URLs are not supported. There is no size limit.

**Branch** is optional. The placeholder is **Default branch**. If you leave it empty, the deploy uses the repository’s default branch.

</Frame>

An update pulls the **latest commit** and discards tracked files that were modified on the server.

Click **Update** on the row to run that now. The row refreshes inline and shows a pending or deploying state until it finishes (**Deployed**).

### Webhook

Click **Webhook** on a git deploy. Paste the URL into GitHub, Bitbucket, Gitea, or any git host that can **POST** a webhook. A request to this URL runs the same update as **Update**.

</Frame>

Click **Rotate secret** to replace the secret in the URL. The old secret stops working immediately. Click **Close** when you are done.

## Remove a deploy

Click **Remove** on the row.

<Info>
  Removing a deploy does **not** delete the files already on the domain.
