How to deploy Remix + Vite anywhere?

[piotrkulpinski]

Hi,
I'm trying to deploy the Remix+Vite app and I can't get it to work.
I've tried Vercel and Cloudflare Pages but both return 404 error after the deployment.

I tried changing the build output directory to public/build as it seems to be the default output dir for this stack, but still no luck.

Is there any guide on how to deploy Remix/Vite app anywhere?

Thanks!

Your server must run build/index.js and you should serve static assets from the whole public folder, not only public/build.

Worth mentioning that these paths will change in a next release (#8077):

• The server build will be in build/server instead of build
• The client build will be in build/client instead of public (the public folder will still exist, but will be considered source files and will be copied to build/client when you build)

[tombohub]

so we run /server/index.js and set static folder to build/client/ on our server?

The Remix Vite plugin doesn't yet work on Cloudflare and Vercel, first remember that the Vite plugin is still unstable, so things like this are expected.

Cloudflare is not supported because Vite itself has issues with Cloudflare, the team is working on this.

Vercel is not supported because when deploying to Vercel they replace the @remix-run/dev package and force you to use their fork that has some changes they (Vercel team) did.

I expect Remix team has some plan to provide out-of-the-box experience in https://github.com/orgs/remix-run/projects/5/views/1?pane=issue&itemId=43815635 and https://github.com/orgs/remix-run/projects/5/views/1?pane=issue&itemId=43814919, but if you like to explore yourself, then I think underlying tools are available at least for simple deployment (not something like splitting server build #7118).

I made a quick demo to deploy Remix Vite app to Vercel Edge, Vercel Serverless, and Cloudflare Workers:

• https://github.com/hi-ogawa/remix-vite-deployment-examples/
• https://remix-vite-deploy-edge.vercel.app/
• https://remix-vite-deploy-serverless.vercel.app/
• https://remix-vite-deploy.hiro18181.workers.dev/

The idea is that, for Vercel, you can use vercel deploy --prebuilt ... to bypass vercel's out-of-the-box feature so that you can setup deployment "package" on your own by following their Build Output API https://vercel.com/docs/build-output-api/v3.

For cloudflare workers, I made a separate post in #8099 to support workerd runtime api during development.

(I'm not familiar with Cloudflare pages, so I didn't experiment it yet. I will take a look later if the same idea can be applied there.)
(EDIT: I added Cloudflare Pages example https://remix-vite-deploy-pages.pages.dev/)

Is there an example for Remix + Vite deployment on Netlify?

[w4t33r]

Hi, I hope my solution to this problem will help you.

• install @remix-run/netlify
• create folder netlify/functions
• create server.mjs / js file
  import { createRequestHandler } from '@remix-run/netlify'
import * as build from '../../build/server/index.js'
export const handler = createRequestHandler({ build, getLoadContext() { }, });
• create netlify.toml https://docs.netlify.com/configure-builds/file-based-configuration/
  [build] command = "npm run build" publish = "build/client" functions = "netlify/functions"
[[redirects]] from = "/*" to = "/.netlify/functions/server" status = 200

To add to the original question – with Vite now stable, the story for deploying to Vercel is still pretty unclear. Would be great to understand the recommended approach 🙂

[tombohub]

@jonlambert vite remix is now stable?

[jonlambert]

#8713

Think it's just waiting on the release 😊

Can we use express adapter and then deploy as express function?

[jasonsilberman]

Has anyone here ran into the "Error: Script startup exceeded CPU time limit" when deploying to Cloudflare? Currently hitting a hard wall debugging/trying to diagnose or find useful information online.

[naourass]

Might be the free plan cpu execution time limit. Paid plan offer (significantly) longer execution time I believe.

[tombohub]

after how many seconds it happens?

[tavoyne]

I do have the paid plan and am getting the same error.

[xkamail]

how to fix it ?
