部署
要针对生产环境构建网站的静态文件,请运行:
- npm
- Yarn
- pnpm
npm run build
yarn build
pnpm run build
构建完成后,生成的静态文件将保存到 build/
目录中。
The only responsibility of Docusaurus is to build your site and emit static files in build
.
It is now up to you to choose how to host those static files.
你可以将网站部署到类似 Vercel、GitHub Pages、Netlify、Render 以及 Surge 等静态网站托管服务上。
由于 Docusaurus 网站被渲染为静态页面,因此可以在没有 JavaScript 的情况下使用!
Configuration
The following parameters are required in docusaurus.config.js
to optimize routing and serve files from the correct location:
Name | Description |
---|---|
url | URL for your site. For a site deployed at https://my-org.com/my-project/ , url is https://my-org.com/ . |
baseUrl | Base URL for your project, with a trailing slash. For a site deployed at https://my-org.com/my-project/ , baseUrl is /my-project/ . |
测试本地构建的网站
It is important to test your build locally before deploying it for production. Docusaurus provides a docusaurus serve
command for that:
- npm
- Yarn
- pnpm
npm run serve
yarn serve
pnpm run serve
By default, this will load your site at http://localhost:3000/
.
Trailing slash configuration
Docusaurus has a trailingSlash
config to allow customizing URLs/links and emitted filename patterns.
The default value generally works fine. Unfortunately, each static hosting provider has a different behavior, and deploying the exact same site to various hosts can lead to distinct results. Depending on your host, it can be useful to change this config.
Use slorber/trailing-slash-guide to understand better the behavior of your host and configure trailingSlash
appropriately.
Using environment variables
Putting potentially sensitive information in the environment is common practice. However, in a typical Docusaurus website, the docusaurus.config.js
file is the only interface to the Node.js environment (see our architecture overview), while everything else (MDX pages, React components, etc.) are client side and do not have direct access to the process
global variable. In this case, you can consider using customFields
to pass environment variables to the client side.
// If you are using dotenv (https://www.npmjs.com/package/dotenv)
import 'dotenv/config';
export default {
title: '...',
url: process.env.URL, // You can use environment variables to control site specifics as well
customFields: {
// Put your custom environment here
teamEmail: process.env.EMAIL,
},
};
import useDocusaurusContext from '@docusaurus/useDocusaurusContext';
export default function Home() {
const {
siteConfig: {customFields},
} = useDocusaurusContext();
return <div>Contact us through {customFields.teamEmail}!</div>;
}
Choosing a hosting provider
There are a few common hosting options:
- Self hosting with an HTTP server like Apache2 or Nginx.
- Jamstack providers (e.g. Netlify and Vercel). We will use them as references, but the same reasoning can apply to other providers.
- GitHub Pages (by definition, it is also Jamstack, but we compare it separately).
If you are unsure of which one to choose, ask the following questions:
How many resources (money, person-hours, etc.) am I willing to invest in this?
- 🔴 Self-hosting requires experience in networking as well as Linux and web server administration. It's the most difficult option, and would require the most time to manage successfully. Expense-wise, cloud services are almost never free, and purchasing/deploying an onsite server can be even more costly.
- 🟢 Jamstack providers can help you set up a working website in almost no time and offer features like server-side redirects that are easily configurable. Many providers offer generous build-time quotas even for free plans that you would almost never exceed. However, free plans have limits, and you would need to pay once you hit those limits. Check the pricing page of your provider for details.
- 🟡 The GitHub Pages deployment workflow can be tedious to set up. (Evidence: see the length of Deploying to GitHub Pages!) However, this service (including build and deployment) is always free for public repositories, and we have detailed instructions to help you make it work.
How much server-side customization do I need?
- 🟢 With self-hosting, you have access to the entire server's configuration. You can configure the virtual host to serve different content based on the request URL, you can do complicated server-side redirects, you can implement authentication, and so on. If you need a lot of server-side features, self-host your website.
- 🟡 Jamstack usually offers some server-side configuration (e.g. URL formatting (trailing slashes), server-side redirects, etc.).
- 🔴 GitHub Pages doesn't expose server-side configuration besides enforcing HTTPS and setting CNAME records.
Do I need collaboration-friendly deployment workflows?
- 🟡 Self-hosted services can leverage continuous deployment functionality like Netlify, but more heavy-lifting is involved. Usually, you would designate a specific person to manage the deployment, and the workflow wouldn't be very git-based as opposed to the other two options.
- 🟢 Netlify and Vercel have deploy previews for every pull request, which is useful for a team to review work before merging to production. You can also manage a team with different member access to the deployment.
- 🟡 GitHub Pages cannot do deploy previews in a non-convoluted way. One repo can only be associated with one site deployment. On the other hand, you can control who has write access to the site's deployment.
There isn't a silver bullet. You need to weigh your needs and resources before making a choice.
Self-Hosting
Docusaurus can be self-hosted using docusaurus serve
. Change port using --port
and --host
to change host.
- npm
- Yarn
- pnpm
npm run serve -- --build --port 80 --host 0.0.0.0
yarn serve --build --port 80 --host 0.0.0.0
pnpm run serve --build --port 80 --host 0.0.0.0
It is not the best option, compared to a static hosting provider / CDN.
In the following sections, we will introduce a few common hosting providers and how they should be configured to deploy Docusaurus sites most efficiently. Docusaurus is not affiliated with any of these services, and this information is provided for convenience only. Some of the write-ups are provided by third-parties, and recent API changes may not be reflected on our side. If you see outdated content, PRs are welcome.
Because we can only provide this content on a best-effort basis only, we have stopped accepting PRs adding new hosting options. You can, however, publish your writeup on a separate site (e.g. your blog, or the provider's official website), and ask us to include a link to your writeup.
Deploying to Netlify
To deploy your Docusaurus sites to Netlify, first make sure the following options are properly configured:
export default {
url: 'https://docusaurus-2.netlify.app', // Url to your site with no trailing slash
baseUrl: '/', // Base directory of your site relative to your repo
// ...
};
Then, create your site with Netlify.
While you set up the site, specify the build commands and directories as follows:
- build command:
npm run build
- publish directory:
build
If you did not configure these build options, you may still go to "Site settings" -> "Build & deploy" after your site is created.
Once properly configured with the above options, your site should deploy and automatically redeploy upon merging to your deploy branch, which defaults to main
.
Some Docusaurus sites put the docs
folder outside of website
(most likely former Docusaurus v1 sites):
repo # git root
├── docs # MD files
└── website # Docusaurus root
If you decide to use the website
folder as Netlify's base directory, Netlify will not trigger builds when you update the docs
folder, and you need to configure a custom ignore
command:
[build]
ignore = "git diff --quiet $CACHED_COMMIT_REF $COMMIT_REF . ../docs/"
By default, Netlify adds trailing slashes to Docusaurus URLs.
It is recommended to disable the Netlify setting Post Processing > Asset Optimization > Pretty Urls
to prevent lowercase URLs, unnecessary redirects, and 404 errors.
Be very careful: the Disable asset optimization
global checkbox is broken and does not really disable the Pretty URLs
setting in practice. Please make sure to uncheck it independently.
If you want to keep the Pretty Urls
Netlify setting on, adjust the trailingSlash
Docusaurus config appropriately.
Refer to slorber/trailing-slash-guide for more information.
Deploying to Vercel
Deploying your Docusaurus project to Vercel will provide you with various benefits in the areas of performance and ease of use.
To deploy your Docusaurus project with a Vercel for Git Integration, make sure it has been pushed to a Git repository.
Import the project into Vercel using the Import Flow. During the import, you will find all relevant options preconfigured for you; however, you can choose to change any of these options.
After your project has been imported, all subsequent pushes to branches will generate Preview Deployments, and all changes made to the Production Branch (usually "main" or "master") will result in a Production Deployment.
Deploying to GitHub Pages
Docusaurus provides an easy way to publish to GitHub Pages, which comes free with every GitHub repository.
Overview
Usually, there are two repositories (at least two branches) involved in a publishing process: the branch containing the source files, and the branch containing the build output to be served with GitHub Pages. In the following tutorial, they will be referred to as "source" and "deployment", respectively.
Each GitHub repository is associated with a GitHub Pages service. If the deployment repository is called my-org/my-project
(where my-org
is the organization name or username), the deployed site will appear at https://my-org.github.io/my-project/
. If the deployment repository is called my-org/my-org.github.io
(the organization GitHub Pages repo), the site will appear at https://my-org.github.io/
.
In case you want to use your custom domain for GitHub Pages, create a CNAME
file in the static
directory. Anything within the static
directory will be copied to the root of the build
directory for deployment. When using a custom domain, you should be able to move back from baseUrl: '/projectName/'
to baseUrl: '/'
, and also set your url
to your custom domain.
You may refer to GitHub Pages' documentation User, Organization, and Project Pages for more details.
GitHub Pages picks up deploy-ready files (the output from docusaurus build
) from the default branch (master
/ main
, usually) or the gh-pages
branch, and either from the root or the /docs
folder. You can configure that through Settings > Pages
in your repository. This branch will be called the "deployment branch".
We provide a docusaurus deploy
command that helps you deploy your site from the source branch to the deployment branch in one command: clone, build, and commit.
docusaurus.config.js
settings
First, modify your docusaurus.config.js
and add the following params:
Name | Description |
---|---|
organizationName | The GitHub user or organization that owns the deployment repository. |
projectName | The name of the deployment repository. |
deploymentBranch | The name of the deployment branch. It defaults to 'gh-pages' for non-organization GitHub Pages repos (projectName not ending in .github.io ). Otherwise, it needs to be explicit as a config field or environment variable. |
These fields also have their environment variable counterparts which have a higher priority: ORGANIZATION_NAME
, PROJECT_NAME
, and DEPLOYMENT_BRANCH
.
GitHub Pages adds a trailing slash to Docusaurus URLs by default. It is recommended to set a trailingSlash
config (true
or false
, not undefined
).
Example:
export default {
// ...
url: 'https://endiliey.github.io', // Your website URL
baseUrl: '/',
projectName: 'endiliey.github.io',
organizationName: 'endiliey',
trailingSlash: false,
// ...
};
By default, GitHub Pages runs published files through Jekyll. Since Jekyll will discard any files that begin with _
, it is recommended that you disable Jekyll by adding an empty file named .nojekyll
file to your static
directory.
Environment settings
Name | Description |
---|---|
USE_SSH | Set to true to use SSH instead of the default HTTPS for the connection to the GitHub repo. If the source repo URL is an SSH URL (e.g. git@github.com:facebook/docusaurus.git ), USE_SSH is inferred to be true . |
GIT_USER | The username for a GitHub account that has push access to the deployment repo. For your own repositories, this will usually be your GitHub username. Required if not using SSH, and ignored otherwise. |
GIT_PASS | Personal access token of the git user (specified by GIT_USER ), to facilitate non-interactive deployment (e.g. continuous deployment) |
CURRENT_BRANCH | The source branch. Usually, the branch will be main or master , but it could be any branch except for gh-pages . If nothing is set for this variable, then the current branch from which docusaurus deploy is invoked will be used. |
GIT_USER_NAME | The git config user.name value to use when pushing to the deployment repo |
GIT_USER_EMAIL | The git config user.email value to use when pushing to the deployment repo |
GitHub enterprise installations should work in the same manner as github.com; you only need to set the organization's GitHub Enterprise host as an environment variable:
Name | Description |
---|---|
GITHUB_HOST | The domain name of your GitHub enterprise site. |
GITHUB_PORT | The port of your GitHub enterprise site. |
Deploy
Finally, to deploy your site to GitHub Pages, run:
- Bash
- Windows
- PowerShell
GIT_USER=<GITHUB_USERNAME> yarn deploy
cmd /C "set "GIT_USER=<GITHUB_USERNAME>" && yarn deploy"
cmd /C 'set "GIT_USER=<GITHUB_USERNAME>" && yarn deploy'
Beginning in August 2021, GitHub requires every command-line sign-in to use the personal access token instead of the password. When GitHub prompts for your password, enter the PAT instead. See the GitHub documentation for more information.
Alternatively, you can use SSH (USE_SSH=true
) to log in.
Triggering deployment with GitHub Actions
GitHub Actions allow you to automate, customize, and execute your software development workflows right in your repository.
The workflow examples below assume your website source resides in the main
branch of your repository (the source branch is main
), and your publishing source is configured for publishing with a custom GitHub Actions Workflow.
Our goal is that:
- When a new pull request is made to
main
, there's an action that ensures the site builds successfully, without actually deploying. This job will be calledtest-deploy
. - When a pull request is merged to the
main
branch or someone pushes to themain
branch directly, it will be built and deployed to GitHub Pages. This job will be calleddeploy
.
Here are two approaches to deploying your docs with GitHub Actions. Based on the location of your deployment repository, choose the relevant tab below:
- Source repo and deployment repo are the same repository.
- The deployment repo is a remote repository, different from the source. Instructions for this scenario assume publishing source is the
gh-pages
branch.
- Same
- Remote
While you can have both jobs defined in the same workflow file, the original deploy
workflow will always be listed as skipped in the PR check suite status, which is not indicative of the actual status and provides no value to the review process. We therefore propose to manage them as separate workflows instead.
GitHub action files
Add these two workflow files:
These files assume you are using Yarn. If you use npm, change cache: yarn
, yarn install --frozen-lockfile
, yarn build
to cache: npm
, npm ci
, npm run build
accordingly.
If your Docusaurus project is not at the root of your repo, you may need to configure a default working directory, and adjust the paths accordingly.

A cross-repo publish is more difficult to set up because you need to push to another repo with permission checks. We will be using SSH to do the authentication.
- Generate a new SSH key. Since this SSH key will be used in CI, make sure to not enter any passphrase.
- By default, your public key should have been created in
~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub
; otherwise, use the name you've provided in the previous step to add your key to GitHub deploy keys. - Copy the key to clipboard with
pbcopy < ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub
and paste it as a deploy key in the deployment repository. Copy the file content if the command line doesn't work for you. Check the box forAllow write access
before saving your deployment key. - You'll need your private key as a GitHub secret to allow Docusaurus to run the deployment for you.
- Copy your private key with
pbcopy < ~/.ssh/id_rsa
and paste a GitHub secret with the nameGH_PAGES_DEPLOY
on your source repository. Copy the file content if the command line doesn't work for you. Save your secret. - Create your documentation workflow in the
.github/workflows/
directory. In this example it's thedeploy.yml
file.
At this point, you should have:
- the source repo with the GitHub workflow set with the private SSH key as the GitHub Secret, and
- your deployment repo set with the public SSH key in GitHub Deploy Keys.
GitHub action file
Please make sure that you replace actions@github.com
with your GitHub email and gh-actions
with your name.

Site not deployed properly?
After pushing to main, if you don't see your site published at the desired location (for example, it says "There isn't a GitHub Pages site here", or it's showing your repo's README.md file), try the following:
- Wait about three minutes and refresh. It may take a few minutes for GitHub pages to pick up the new files.
- Check your repo's landing page for a little green tick next to the last commit's title, indicating the CI has passed. If you see a cross, it means the build or deployment failed, and you should check the log for more debugging information.
- Click on the tick and make sure you see a "Deploy to GitHub Pages" workflow. Names like "pages build and deployment / deploy" are GitHub's default workflows, indicating your custom deployment workflow failed to be triggered at all. Make sure the YAML files are placed under the
.github/workflows
folder, and that the trigger condition is set correctly (e.g., if your default branch is "master" instead of "main", you need to change theon.push
property). - Under your repo's Settings > Pages, make sure the "Source" (which is the source for the deployment files, not "source" as in our terminology) is set to "gh-pages" + "/ (root)", since we are using
gh-pages
as the deployment branch.
If you are using a custom domain:
- Verify that you have the correct DNS records set up if you're using a custom domain. See GitHub pages documentation on configuring custom domains. Also, please be aware that it may take up to 24 hours for DNS changes to propagate through the internet.
Triggering deployment with Travis CI
Continuous integration (CI) services are typically used to perform routine tasks whenever new commits are checked in to source control. These tasks can be any combination of running unit tests and integration tests, automating builds, publishing packages to npm, and deploying changes to your website. All you need to do to automate the deployment of your website is to invoke the yarn deploy
script whenever your website is updated. The following section covers how to do just that using Travis CI, a popular continuous integration service provider.
- Go to https://github.com/settings/tokens and generate a new personal access token. When creating the token, grant it the
repo
scope so that it has the permissions it needs. - Using your GitHub account, add the Travis CI app to the repository you want to activate.
- Open your Travis CI dashboard. The URL looks like
https://travis-ci.com/USERNAME/REPO
, and navigate to theMore options > Setting > Environment Variables
section of your repository. - Create a new environment variable named
GH_TOKEN
with your newly generated token as its value, thenGH_EMAIL
(your email address) andGH_NAME
(your GitHub username). - Create a
.travis.yml
on the root of your repository with the following:
language: node_js
node_js:
- 18
branches:
only:
- main
cache:
yarn: true
script:
- git config --global user.name "${GH_NAME}"
- git config --global user.email "${GH_EMAIL}"
- echo "machine github.com login ${GH_NAME} password ${GH_TOKEN}" > ~/.netrc
- yarn install
- GIT_USER="${GH_NAME}" yarn deploy
Now, whenever a new commit lands in main
, Travis CI will run your suite of tests and if everything passes, your website will be deployed via the yarn deploy
script.
Triggering deployment with Buddy
Buddy is an easy-to-use CI/CD tool that allows you to automate the deployment of your portal to different environments, including GitHub Pages.
Follow these steps to create a pipeline that automatically deploys a new version of your website whenever you push changes to the selected branch of your project:
- Go to https://github.com/settings/tokens and generate a new personal access token. When creating the token, grant it the
repo
scope so that it has the permissions it needs. - Sign in to your Buddy account and create a new project.
- Choose GitHub as your git hosting provider and select the repository with the code of your website.
- Using the left navigation panel, switch to the
Pipelines
view. - Create a new pipeline. Define its name, set the trigger mode to
On push
, and select the branch that triggers the pipeline execution. - Add a
Node.js
action. - Add these commands in the action's terminal:
GIT_USER=<GH_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN>
git config --global user.email "<YOUR_GH_EMAIL>"
git config --global user.name "<YOUR_GH_USERNAME>"
yarn deploy
After creating this simple pipeline, each new commit pushed to the branch you selected deploys your website to GitHub Pages using yarn deploy
. Read this guide to learn more about setting up a CI/CD pipeline for Docusaurus.
Using Azure Pipelines
- Sign Up at Azure Pipelines if you haven't already.
- Create an organization. Within the organization, create a project and connect your repository from GitHub.
- Go to https://github.com/settings/tokens and generate a new personal access token with the
repo
scope. - In the project page (which looks like
https://dev.azure.com/ORG_NAME/REPO_NAME/_build
), create a new pipeline with the following text. Also, click on edit and add a new environment variable namedGH_TOKEN
with your newly generated token as its value, thenGH_EMAIL
(your email address) andGH_NAME
(your GitHub username). Make sure to mark them as secret. Alternatively, you can also add a file namedazure-pipelines.yml
at your repository root.

Using Drone
- Create a new SSH key that will be the deploy key for your project.
- Name your private and public keys to be specific and so that it does not overwrite your other SSH keys.
- Go to
https://github.com/USERNAME/REPO/settings/keys
and add a new deploy key by pasting in the public key you just generated. - Open your Drone.io dashboard and log in. The URL looks like
https://cloud.drone.io/USERNAME/REPO
. - Click on the repository, click on activate repository, and add a secret called
git_deploy_private_key
with your private key value that you just generated. - Create a
.drone.yml
on the root of your repository with the below text.
kind: pipeline
type: docker
trigger:
event:
- tag
- name: Website
image: node
commands:
- mkdir -p $HOME/.ssh
- ssh-keyscan -t rsa github.com >> $HOME/.ssh/known_hosts
- echo "$GITHUB_PRIVATE_KEY" > "$HOME/.ssh/id_rsa"
- chmod 0600 $HOME/.ssh/id_rsa
- cd website
- yarn install
- yarn deploy
environment:
USE_SSH: true
GITHUB_PRIVATE_KEY:
from_secret: git_deploy_private_key
Now, whenever you push a new tag to GitHub, this trigger will start the drone CI job to publish your website.

Deploying to Hostman
Hostman allows you to host static websites for free. Hostman automates everything, you just need to connect your repository and follow these easy steps:
-
Create a service.
- To deploy a Docusaurus static website, click Create in the top-left corner of your Dashboard and choose Front-end app or static website.
-
Select the project to deploy.
-
If you are logged in to Hostman with your GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket account, you will see the repository with your projects, including the private ones.
-
Choose the project you want to deploy. It must contain the directory with the project's files (e.g.
website
). -
To access a different repository, click Connect another repository.
-
If you didn't use your Git account credentials to log in, you'll be able to access the necessary account now, and then select the project.
-
-
Configure the build settings.
-
Next, the Website customization window will appear. Choose the Static website option from the list of frameworks.
-
The Directory with app points at the directory that will contain the project's files after the build. If you selected the repository with the contents of the website (or
my_website
) directory during Step 2, you can leave it empty. -
The standard build command for Docusaurus is:
- npm
- Yarn
- pnpm
npm run build
yarn build
pnpm run build
-
You can modify the build command if needed. You can enter multiple commands separated by
&&
.
-
-
Deploy.
-
Click Deploy to start the build process.
-
Once it starts, you will enter the deployment log. If there are any issues with the code, you will get warning or error messages in the log specifying the cause of the problem. Usually, the log contains all the debugging data you'll need.

Deploying to Surge
Surge is a static web hosting platform that you can use to deploy your Docusaurus project from the command line in seconds. Deploying your project to Surge is easy and free (including custom domains and SSL certs).
Deploy your app in a matter of seconds using Surge with the following steps:
- First, install Surge using npm by running the following command:
- npm
- Yarn
- pnpm
npm install -g surge
yarn global add surge
pnpm add -g surge
- To build the static files of your site for production in the root directory of your project, run:
- npm
- Yarn
- pnpm
npm run build
yarn build
pnpm run build
- Then, run this command inside the root directory of your project:
surge build/
First-time users of Surge would be prompted to create an account from the command line (which happens only once).
Confirm that the site you want to publish is in the build
directory. A randomly generated subdomain *.surge.sh subdomain
is always given (which can be edited).
Using your domain
If you have a domain name you can deploy your site using the command:
surge build/ your-domain.com
Your site is now deployed for free at subdomain.surge.sh
or your-domain.com
depending on the method you chose.
Setting up CNAME file
Store your domain in a CNAME file for future deployments with the following command:
echo subdomain.surge.sh > CNAME
You can deploy any other changes in the future with the command surge
.

Deploying to Azure Static Web Apps
Azure Static Web Apps is a service that automatically builds and deploys full-stack web apps to Azure directly from the code repository, simplifying the developer experience for CI/CD. Static Web Apps separates the web application's static assets from its dynamic (API) endpoints. Static assets are served from globally-distributed content servers, making it faster for clients to retrieve files using servers nearby. Dynamic APIs are scaled with serverless architectures using an event-driven functions-based approach that is more cost-effective and scales on demand. Get started in a few minutes by following this step-by-step guide.
