Deploy from Lovable
Deploy a Lovable app to your own server.
Lovable builds fast. Production should not depend on platform publishing. We move a Lovable project onto infrastructure your team controls, keep the GitHub sync, and let you keep building in Lovable while the app runs somewhere you own.
What changes
Before
- Platform-published app
- Shared hosting limits
- Lovable-hosted data and demos
- No release process after code changes
After
- Your own server and domain
- Git push to production pipeline
- Database, backups, and secrets you control
- Same Lovable workflow, real production
Where it stalls
Why Lovable apps get stuck before production.
01
GitHub sync has to come first
Without a connected repository there is nothing to ship. Connecting the Lovable project to GitHub is the first production step, before any server is touched.
02
Platform dependencies leak in
The preview is a landing page view. API routes, jobs, environment variables, Supabase links, storage buckets, and webhooks are all part of the real app and all easy to miss.
03
Preview is not production
What works in the Lovable preview can fail on a plain server without the right build config, runtime versions, and secrets. We reproduce the stack, not just the page.
The move, step by step
From Lovable project to production server.
Step 01
Connect GitHub and lock the repo
Confirm the GitHub connection and repository ownership before anything else. The repo becomes the durable codebase and the source for deployment.
Step 02
Inventory integrations
List every environment variable, database, storage bucket, auth provider, webhook, and email configuration. This is where most Lovable launches break.
Step 03
Provision the production target
Choose the smallest credible target: a managed container service or a VM sized to the workload, with a real managed or self-hosted database and backups.
Step 04
Build the release pipeline
Deploy from the default branch with a build, a health check, the right domain, and a rollback path if a release is unhealthy.
Step 05
Cut over with a recovery plan
Test the new URL before DNS cutover, confirm database and background jobs, then switch the domain and keep the previous path until the new flow is verified.

Lovable deployment questions
Can I keep working in Lovable after the move?
Yes. Lovable documents GitHub sync, so Lovable stays the editor and your repository remains the deployment source. Production just runs on infrastructure you control.
Is self-hosting more expensive?
Usually the opposite at scale. Platform seat pricing and per-deployment fees compound; a server you own has a flat cost you can predict.
What do you need from me to start?
Read-only access to the Lovable project or its GitHub repo, credentials for your cloud account or server, and domain access. That is enough for us to map the stack.
What does RepoAssistant handle exactly?
We review the code and dependencies, fix deployment blockers, set up target infrastructure and pipeline, test the release, and hand over access and documentation.
