Use your own server
Prefer to host on your own server? LilBuz can deploy straight to a VPS over SSH - from any provider (Hetzner, DigitalOcean, AWS EC2, Linode, or any Linux box you control).
Add a VPS
- In the Hosting view, click Add Integration.
- Choose Custom VPS.
- Fill in your server details:
- Server Name - a label, usually your domain (e.g. myapp.com).
- Host - your server's IP address or hostname.
- Port - SSH port (default 22).
- Username - SSH user (default root).
- Auth Type - choose SSH Key (paste your private key) or Password.
- Deploy Path - where files go on the server (auto-fills to /var/www/{server name}).
- Web Server - nginx, Apache, or custom.
- Click Test Connection to confirm LilBuz can reach the server.
- Click Save.
Once saved, the VPS shows up as a deploy target - both in Hosting and in the Deploy Target dropdown when you add a domain. When you deploy, LilBuz connects over SSH and ships your build to that server.
Provider note: The VPS option works with any provider that gives you SSH access. You just need the host/IP, a user, and either a key or password - the same details your provider shows in its dashboard.Back to documentation
