Deployment

After generating your documentation, deploy it to any major hosting provider. KodaDocs produces a static VitePress site that can be hosted anywhere.

Supported Providers

Provider	Command	Required Environment Variables
Cloudflare Pages	cloudflare	CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN, CLOUDFLARE_ACCOUNT_ID
Vercel	vercel	VERCEL_TOKEN
Netlify	netlify	NETLIFY_AUTH_TOKEN, NETLIFY_SITE_ID
GitHub Pages	github-pages	Push access to the repository
KodaDocs Hosted	kodadocs	KODADOCS_LICENSE_KEY (Pro)

Deploy via CLI

# Deploy to a specific provider
kodadocs deploy . --provider cloudflare

# Deploy to Vercel
kodadocs deploy . --provider vercel

# Deploy to Netlify
kodadocs deploy . --provider netlify

Deploy During Generation

Add --deploy to the generate command to deploy immediately after building:

kodadocs generate . --deploy

KodaDocs Hosted (Pro)

Pro subscribers can deploy to *.kodadocs.com for hassle-free hosting:

kodadocs deploy . --provider kodadocs --license-key kd_pro_xxx --slug my-app-docs

Your docs will be available at my-app-docs.kodadocs.com.

Auto-Detection

KodaDocs detects your project's deployment platform during the analysis phase. If it detects Vercel, Cloudflare, Netlify, or another platform, it suggests the matching deploy provider automatically.

Manual Deployment

The generated static site lives at ./docs/.vitepress/dist/. You can deploy this directory to any static hosting:

# Build is already done by kodadocs generate
ls docs/.vitepress/dist/

# Upload to any static host
# e.g., rsync to your server
rsync -avz docs/.vitepress/dist/ user@server:/var/www/docs/

Custom Domains

After deploying, configure your custom domain through your hosting provider's dashboard:

1. Add a CNAME record pointing to your hosting provider
2. Configure the custom domain in the provider's dashboard
3. Enable HTTPS (usually automatic with modern providers)
