Self Hosting
Note: To be able to follow this guide you must have "Self Host" feature enabled. This is not available in the free Noodl plan. But you can request a trial here.

Overview​

By default, Noodl will host you App (both backend and frontend), by deploying your app to a sandbox.noodl.app domain for free or using your own domain. See this guide for more information.

However, for various reasons, you may want to host your frontend on your own infrastructure. For this you will first deploy it locally and then upload it to your hosting provider of choice.

Deploying to Local Folder​

By using the Self Hosting section in the Noodl deployment popup will save a version of your frontend to a folder on your local machine, this folder will contain everything needed and you can simply upload the content to your hosting service.

Make sure you pick the backend you want to use for the deploy.
