Deploy SvelteKit on Your Own Server
Deploy SvelteKit applications with server-side rendering, API endpoints, and form actions using the Node adapter.
Quickstart
From your project root, deploy with your preferred package manager:
npx @temps-sdk/cli up
Temps detects your svelte.config.js, runs npm run build, and starts the Node.js server. Your app is live in about 2 minutes.
Node Adapter Setup
SvelteKit requires the Node adapter for production deployments on Temps:
npm install -D @sveltejs/adapter-node
// svelte.config.js
import adapter from '@sveltejs/adapter-node';
export default {
kit: {
adapter: adapter()
}
};
What Temps Handles Automatically
| Feature | How Temps handles it |
|---|---|
| Build | npm run build |
| Start | node build/index.js |
| HTTPS | Let's Encrypt, auto-renewed |
| Port | PORT env var injected, defaults to 3000 |
| API endpoints | Fully supported via Node adapter |
| Form actions | Fully supported |
| Static prerendering | Prerendered pages served statically |
Environment Variables
npx @temps-sdk/cli environments vars set DATABASE_URL "postgres://..." -e production npx @temps-sdk/cli environments vars set SECRET "your-secret" -e production
Public variables use the PUBLIC_ prefix in SvelteKit and are embedded at build time.
Platform behavior
These rules apply to every app deployed on Temps, regardless of framework.
The one requirement: your app must listen on the port in the PORT environment variable and bind to 0.0.0.0 — not localhost or 127.0.0.1. Temps runs your app in a container and routes traffic from the host, so an app bound to localhost only accepts connections from inside the container and will fail its health check.
Health checks
After your container starts, Temps sends HTTP GET requests to verify it is healthy before routing traffic to it.
- Path:
/(the root of your application) - Success: 2 consecutive responses with a 2xx or 3xx status code
- Timeout: 300 seconds (5 minutes) for the app to become healthy
- Retry interval: every 5 seconds
Connection errors while the app is still starting are retried without penalty. If the app returns 4xx or 5xx errors for 60 consecutive seconds, the deployment fails. Customize the check by adding a .temps.yaml to your repository root:
health:
path: /health
status: 200
interval: 30
timeout: 5
retries: 3/health endpoint that returns a simple 200. This avoids issues where / requires authentication or returns a redirect.Auto-injected environment variables
Temps injects these variables into every deployment automatically:
| Variable | Value | Description |
|---|---|---|
PORT | Resolved port | The port your app must listen on |
HOST | 0.0.0.0 | Bind address |
SENTRY_DSN | Auto-generated | Error tracking endpoint |
TEMPS_API_URL | Your Temps URL | Platform API endpoint |
TEMPS_API_TOKEN | Deployment token | Authentication for Temps SDKs |
OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT | Your Temps OTLP URL | OpenTelemetry trace collection |
OTEL_SERVICE_NAME | Project name | Service identifier for traces |
You do not need to configure these manually. They are available in process.env (Node.js), os.environ (Python), os.Getenv (Go), and the equivalent in other languages.
