On Netlify​

Deploy via Netlify CLI​

    npm install -g netlify-cli

  2. Login to your Netlify account:

    netlify login

  3. Initialize the Netlify project (if not already):

    netlify init
    • Choose “Deploy manually”
    • Set dist/ as the directory to deploy
    • Select or create a new site

  4. Deploy the site:

    netlify deploy --prod --dir=dist

    Your site will be deployed and a public URL will be provided.

Deploy via Netlify Web UI​

  1. Go to Netlify Dashboard and create a new site from Git.

  2. Connect your repository (GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket).

  3. Set the following build settings:

    • Build Command: pnpm build:client

Once deployed, Netlify will give you a public URL (which you can customize), and handle CDN and HTTPS automatically.

Upgrading to the Latest LTS Version​

New LTS versions are released every 3–5 months with an end-of-life of at least 18 months. To check the latest LTS version, visit the Paybill Docker Hub page. LTS tags follow a naming convention with the prefix LTS- followed by the version number, for example: paybilldev/paybill:ee-lts-latest.

If this is a new installation of the application, you may start directly with the latest version. This guide is not required for new installations.

Prerequisites for Upgrading to the Latest LTS Version:​

  • It is crucial to perform a comprehensive backup of your database before starting the upgrade process to prevent data loss.
