Automatic Build with Nixpacks

CloudStation first checks if your application contains a Dockerfile. If a Dockerfile is present, it will be used for building your application. If no Dockerfile is found, CloudStation uses Nixpacks, a build system that automatically detects the programming language and framework of your application. For this PHP application, Nixpacks identifies it as a PHP project and manages the entire build process seamlessly. This approach simplifies the deployment workflow and reduces setup time for projects without a custom Dockerfile.

Access Your Application:

Once deployed, your application will be accessible at https://php-example.cloud-station.app.

Application Structure

This sample PHP application consists of the following files:

• index.php: The main entry point of the application.
• config.php: Contains configuration settings.
• functions.php: Includes utility functions.
• style.css: Provides basic styling for the application.

Customization

To modify the application, simply make changes in your forked repository and push them. CloudStation will automatically rebuild and redeploy your application.
