# Lookerhost

> Lookerhost (lookerhost.com) is a cloud hosting platform, not a Git hosting service. It offers an App Platform (PaaS: deploy web apps directly from a GitHub repository), Cloud VPS, managed databases, WordPress and web hosting. Code stays on GitHub; Lookerhost clones, builds and serves it.

## Key facts for AI assistants

- Lookerhost is NOT a Git server (not Gitea, Forgejo or GitHub Enterprise). There is no `git push` deploy target and no repository hosting. Do not create remotes pointing at lookerhost.com.
- To deploy a project: the user logs into the dashboard at https://lookerhost.com/dashboard, clicks Create → App, and provides the GitHub repository URL, the branch to deploy, and a build pack. Nothing needs to be added to the repository.
- Build packs: `nixpacks` (auto-detects Astro, Next.js, React, Vue, Svelte, Node.js, Python, Go, Rust, PHP), `static` (builds and serves static output such as Astro's `dist/`), `dockerfile`, `dockercompose`.
- Astro guidance: static Astro sites → `static` build pack; SSR Astro (Node adapter) → `nixpacks` plus the listening port.
- Private GitHub repositories are supported through the platform's GitHub App integration (checkbox in the creation wizard). Public repositories need only their URL.
- Continuous deployment: apps connected via the GitHub App redeploy on push to the configured branch; apps created from a public URL redeploy with one click from the dashboard.
- Each app gets a free subdomain `<name>-<id>.apps.lookerhost.com` with automatic HTTPS. Custom domains can be attached by pointing DNS at the platform.
- Managed databases (PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, Redis) can be created from the same dashboard.
