Apps
An app on DockHive is a web service: a website, an API, a static site or a full-stack app that answers HTTP requests. You deploy it from a GitHub repository or from a folder on your computer, and it gets a free HTTPS address such as https://wonder-web-8ml2.dockhive.app.
Ways to deploy

| Public Git URL (GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket) | Console: Public Repository tab | No |
| A local folder | hivepod deploy, or the deploy tool in the MCP server |
No (deploy again to update) |
How it builds
Section titled “How it builds”For each app you choose a build mode:
- Drone (recommended): DockHive’s AI deploy agent reads your code, builds your app and deploys it, fixing problems along the way. No configuration.
- A framework preset, such as Next.js, Django or Static site, if you prefer to set install, build and start commands yourself.
See Drone and frameworks.
What every app gets
Section titled “What every app gets”- A free address on
dockhive.appwith HTTPS. It always serves the live version. - Zero-downtime deploys: a new version goes live only after it answers requests; until then the previous version keeps serving.
- Build and runtime logs, a deployment history and one-click rollbacks.
- Encrypted environment variables.
- Up to 5 custom domains with automatic HTTPS.
