iblai-deploy

/iblai-deploy

Deploy your ibl.ai app frontend to a hosting platform. Currently supports Vercel; extensible to other platforms.

Prerequisites

• VERCEL_TOKEN set in iblai.env
• If missing or placeholder, ask the user once for their token and save it:

  echo 'VERCEL_TOKEN=<token>' >> iblai.env
  

  Token creation: https://vercel.com/account/tokens

Deploy to Vercel

Run the CLI command:

iblai deploy vercel

This single command handles the full flow:

1. Builds the frontend (pnpm build)
2. Writes out/vercel.json with cleanUrls + SPA rewrite
3. Deploys out/ to Vercel (public)
4. Disables Vercel authentication and password protection
5. Updates src-tauri/tauri.conf.json devUrl with the deployment URL (if Tauri is set up)
6. Prints the deployment URL

When to Deploy

• Before running dev builds (iblai builds dev, iblai builds ios dev, iblai builds android dev) so the WebView loads from a network URL
• After frontend changes when iterating on dev builds
• When sharing a preview URL

Going Back to Local

To stop using the Vercel URL for mobile dev builds, remove devUrl from src-tauri/tauri.conf.json. The WebView will load local static files again.
