Start new apps with Nuejs quickly on Diploi

Getting started with Nue.js apps, the easy way

There are plenty of ways to kick off a Nue.js application, cloning a template from a repo, running nue create simple-blog, or rolling your own boilerplate from scratch, but today I’m showing you the absolute easiest approach using Diploi.

What you need

A GitHub account. If you don’t have one yet, sign up here: https://github.com/signup

How to create an app with Nue.js

Sign up for a free Diploi account at https://console.diploi.com/
In your Dashboard, click Create Project +.
Under Pick Components, choose Nue.js. You can also add databases or other frameworks, to your Nue.js stack here.
In Pick Add‑ons, select any services your app needs (e.g., PostgreSQL, Redis, or MongoDB).
Choose Create Repository to start from a fresh GitHub repo.
Click Launch Stack.

Diploi will provision a full development environment for your Nue.js app. You’ll be able to:

Preview your app live in the browser.
Edit code directly via the Browser IDE.
Connect over SSH for remote development with VS Code, WebStorm, or any IDE that supports SSH and dev containers.

Launching your Nue.js app to Production

When your app is ready for real‑world traffic, follow these simple steps:

Navigate to your Nue.js Project’s dashboard at https://console.diploi.com/<YOUR_USERNAME>/project/<YOUR_PROJECT_ID>
Click Create Deployment +.
Select Production as the stage.
Pick the cluster size that matches your expected load.
Choose the source branch (e.g., main).
Configure any environment variables your app requires.
Hit Create Deployment +.

Your Nue.js application will be live, and ready to serve users!

Configuring a custom domain for your Nue.js application in Production

By default, your production deployment uses a .diploi.me domain. To swap in your own:

On your Production Deployment’s Options tab (or via https://console.diploi.com/<YOUR_USERNAME>/project/<YOUR_PROJECT_ID>/deployment/<YOUR_DEPLOYMENT_ID>/options), find Endpoints.
Click Use Auto‑Generated Endpoints to disable it.
An input field will appear showing your .diploi.me URL plus a checkbox for Custom Domain. Enable that checkbox and enter your domain.
Scroll down and click Save Changes.
In your DNS provider’s dashboard, create a CNAME record pointing your domain to edge.diploi.com.

It can take up to 30 minutes for DNS propagation and SSL certificate to be ready.

Trying out Nue.js for the first time?

Diploi lets you test Nue.js without installing anything locally. Two ways to spin up a sandbox:

Not yet on Diploi? Launch a free trial from the Diploi Stack Builder: https://diploi.com/#StackBuilder or go straight to the Nue.js component page: https://diploi.com/component/nue
Already a Diploi user? Create a new project, then under Repository select Quick Launch, you’ll get a throwaway environment preconfigured with Nue.js and any add‑ons you choose, no Git repo required.

Are there other frameworks or languages you’d like us to support? Let us know on Discord!
