How to Host Your Website on DS Cloud

Configuration File

The first step to hosting your website on DS Cloud is to create a configuration file. This file serves as a blueprint for your application, defining settings that DS Cloud uses for deployment. You can follow detailed instructions for creating this file here.Make sure the configuration file includes:
  • SUBDOMAIN: Your website’s subdomain.
    Example: SUBDOMAIN: test (test.dscloudweb.pt)
  • MEMORY: Set the required RAM (minimum of 512MB).

Create a ZIP File

After preparing the configuration file, zip your website files along with the DS Cloud configuration file. Make sure to exclude unnecessary files such as node_modules, package-lock.json, pyproject.toml, __pycache__, and others that can be generated automatically. For a list of files you don’t need to upload, refer to our guide.

Include Dependency Files

Ensure that you include the dependency file in the .zip (e.g., package.json for Node.js or requirements.txt for Python). These files tell DS Cloud which dependencies to install to run your application properly.

Upload Your Website

Once your website files are ready and zipped, go to the DS Cloud Discord server and use the command /up in the #commands channel to start the upload process.After entering the command, the bot will prompt you to upload your .zip file. Drag and drop the file into the response field to deploy your website on DS Cloud.

Common Deployment Errors

If you encounter errors during the upload process, consult our troubleshooting guide. If the issue persists, our support team is always available to help resolve any issues. Our goal is to ensure your deployment is smooth and successful.
This error occurs if the dependency file is missing. If using Node.js, create the package.json file, and for Python, ensure the requirements.txt is present.
This error appears if the memory setting in your configuration file is too low or not specified. Ensure the minimum required memory (512MB) is set.
This happens when the “main” file defined in your configuration does not exist. Double-check the file name and path.
Ensure that the configuration file is correctly included in the root of your .zip file and is in the correct format.
This error occurs when the MEMORY field is missing in the configuration file. Ensure this field is properly set with the amount of RAM required.
The DISPLAY_NAME field must be 32 characters or less. If this field is incorrect or missing, it will cause an error during deployment.
The START field should specify how to launch your website. If this is missing or incorrect, DS Cloud will not know how to start your application.
This error typically occurs if the zip file is corrupted or password-protected. Make sure the file is correctly zipped and does not have a password set.
