Prerequisites
This guide assumes you already have a Gatsby project to deploy. If you need a project, use the Quick Start to get started or fork 21YunBox’s Gatsby Example before continuing.
Setup
You can set up a Gatsby site on 21YunBox in two quick steps:
Create a new web service on 21YunBox, and give 21YunBox permission to access your GitHub or Gitee repo.
Use the following values during creation:
Environment Static Site
Build Command yarn && yarn build
(or your own build command)Publish Directory ./public
(or your own output directory)
That’s it! Your site will be live on your 21YunBox URL (which looks like yoursite.21yunbox.com
) as soon as the build is done.
Continuous deploys
Now that 21YunBox is connected to your repo, it will automatically build and publish your site any time you push to GitHub.
21YunBox CDN and cache invalidation
21YunBox hosts your site on a Chinese, blazing fast CDN which ensures the fastest possible download times for all your users across China.
Every deploy automatically and instantly invalidates the CDN cache, so your users can always access the latest content on your site.
Custom domains
Add your own domains to your site easily using 21YunBox’s custom domains guide.
