Needs a static export

How to publish a Remix site as a static export

Remix is built around server rendering, and there is no supported way to export it as a finished static site.

It builds its pages on a live server. To publish it here it has to be exported as a finished site first; if your tool has no option for that, this project needs a host that runs the server for you.

  1. Export it as a static site

    It builds its pages on a live server. To publish it here it has to be exported as a finished site first; if your tool has no option for that, this project needs a host that runs the server for you.

  2. Check for an index.html

    Open the folder you got. If there is no index.html in it, the export produced a server bundle and there is nothing to publish yet.

  3. Upload the folder

    Drag it into Droply and the site is live on an HTTPS droply.id subdomain in seconds.

Worth knowing about Remix

  • This is the honest answer rather than a workaround: a Remix app needs a host that runs the server for you.

  • If the project is mostly static content, moving it to a static framework is a smaller job than fighting the export.

Did an AI tool build this project?

Hosting an AI-generated website covers the question that comes before the build command: whether what you are holding is a single file or a project, and which of the two every tool actually hands back.

Frequently asked questions

Does Droply build my Remix project for me?
No, and it never will. Droply publishes finished static files. Running your build would mean running your dependencies on our servers, which is a different and much riskier product. Build locally or in your existing CI, then upload the result.
Can I host a server-rendered Remix app here?
No. Droply serves static files and never runs server code, so anything that renders per request needs a host that runs Node. The static export route above is the way to publish a Remix project here, and only if the project does not depend on server behaviour.
What happens when I update the site?
Build again and upload again. The new version replaces the old one at the same URL, so a link you have already shared keeps working. The Pro, Business and Enterprise plans keep a version history you can roll back to in one click.
Can I use my own domain?
Yes, on the Pro, Business and Enterprise plans. Point your domain at Droply, and the certificate is issued and renewed automatically.
