Deploy a Bolt.new app · Agent Lab Deploy

Download the project as a zip in Bolt, or push it to GitHub. Link the repository in Agent Lab or upload the zip — no code changes, no Dockerfile. Agent Lab detects the framework, builds it, gives every version a preview URL and checks uploads for leaked keys.

An AI coding tool deploys a project exported from Bolt.new to Agent Lab and reports the live URL.

Why deploy from Bolt.new to Agent Lab

## Your Bolt.new project, not tied to Bolt.new

### No code changes

Vite, Next.js, Astro and more, depending on the prompt: the platform detects it and picks the build and start commands.

### Preview, go live, roll back

Every upload is a new version with its own URL. Look first, then go live; switch back in one click.

### Leaked keys caught

Uploads are checked for API keys and credentials before they can go live.

### PostgreSQL in one click

Create a database and connect it; the connection is written into the app.

Your options

## Bolt.new project on Agent Lab, or on your own VPS

Deploying from Bolt.new to Agent Lab compared with running your own server

| What you care about | Agent Lab Deploy | Your own server |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Setup | Link the repository or upload the zip | SSH, a runtime, a process manager, a reverse proxy |
| Credentials | Secrets in the console, never in the code | Copied onto the server by hand |
| Preview and rollback | Every version has its own URL; roll back in one click | Write your own scripts |
| Before going live | Uploads checked for leaked keys | Nothing unless you set it up |
| Database | PostgreSQL in one click, connection written into the app | Install and back it up yourself |
| Cost to start | Free plan: US$0, one size-S app (sleeps when idle) | A VPS at roughly US$6–20 a month, plus your time |

Steps

## Deploy from Bolt.new in four steps

1. ### Export from Bolt.new
   Download the project as a zip in Bolt, or push it to GitHub.
2. ### Link or upload
   Link the GitHub repository to a project, drop the zip on its Deploy tab, or open the folder in Claude Code and say "deploy this".
3. ### Build and check
   The platform builds the version and checks it for leaked keys. Enter any secrets it lists in Settings.
4. ### Preview and go live
   The first version goes live once it builds. Later ones get a preview URL; go live when you're happy.

Setup

## What Agent Lab runs for a Bolt.new project

Leave node_modules, .git and .env out of the zip; any of them rejects the whole upload. Whatever framework Bolt picked works: a front end becomes a static web page, Next.js or anything with a server becomes a web service.

Detected

### Build and start

```
# Agent Lab 從 package.json 偵測框架，自動決定
# Agent Lab detects the framework from package.json and picks
npm ci
npm run build      # Vite → 靜態網頁 / static page
npm start          # Next.js、SSR → web service
```

- `VITE_* / NEXT_PUBLIC_*` baked into the page at build time and visible to anyone; never put a secret here.

Prompt

### Or ask your AI tool

```
Read https://app.agentlab.cresclab.com/agent/deploy.md and deploy this project to Agent Lab. Show me the build plan and the environment variables it needs first, tell me where to enter any secrets, and wait for my OK before it goes live.
```

FAQ

## Deploying from Bolt.new: questions

**How do I deploy a Bolt.new project?**

Download the project as a zip in Bolt, or push it to GitHub. Then link the repository in Agent Lab or upload the zip; the platform detects the framework and builds it, with no Dockerfile. [Deploy from GitHub →](https://agentlab.cresclab.com/docs/en/deploy/github)

**Where do API keys and other secrets go?**

In the project's Settings, under Secrets; server code reads them as environment variables. Anything in a VITE_ or NEXT_PUBLIC_ variable ends up in the page, so never put a secret there.

**Can I host a Bolt site somewhere other than Bolt?**

Yes. Download the zip or push to GitHub, then upload it or link the repository in Agent Lab, with no code changes and no Dockerfile.

**Which frameworks does it support?**

JavaScript, Python and Go projects build from source with no Dockerfile (Next.js, Vite, Nuxt, SvelteKit, Express, FastAPI, Django, Go and more); anything else ships a Dockerfile. [All deploy guides →](https://agentlab.cresclab.com/en/deploy/guides)

**Is there a free way to deploy?**

The Free plan is US$0: one size-S app that sleeps after 15 idle minutes, one size-S database, three static web pages, 100 build minutes and 5 GB of traffic a month, pausing at the limit instead of charging. Pro (US$29 a month before tax) keeps apps running and adds custom domains. [Pricing →](https://agentlab.cresclab.com/en/deploy#pricing)
