Deploy Vue.js on Your Own Server
Deploy Vue.js applications built with Vite or Nuxt. Static Vue apps are served from an optimized web server. Nuxt SSR apps run as Node.js containers.
Quickstart
From your project root, deploy with your preferred package manager:
npx @temps-sdk/cli up
Temps auto-detects Vite and Nuxt, runs npm run build, and serves the output. Static apps are live in about 3 minutes.
Static Vue (Vite)
Temps builds with npm run build and serves the dist/ output with compression and long-lived cache headers for hashed assets.
| Feature | How Temps handles it |
|---|---|
| Build | npm run build |
| Output | Serves dist/ |
| SPA routing | 404 → index.html fallback |
| Cache | Hashed assets get 1-year cache headers |
| HTTPS | Let's Encrypt, auto-renewed |
Nuxt SSR
Nuxt applications using server-side rendering run as Node.js containers:
| Feature | How Temps handles it |
|---|---|
| Build | npx nuxt build |
| Start | node .output/server/index.mjs |
| Port | PORT env var injected |
| Runtime config | NUXT_ env vars supported |
Environment Variables
# Runtime config (Nuxt) npx @temps-sdk/cli environments vars set NUXT_PUBLIC_API_URL "https://api.example.com" -e production # Build-time (Vite) npx @temps-sdk/cli environments vars set VITE_API_URL "https://api.example.com" -e production
SPA routing
Static Vue apps (Vite) use client-side routing, handled automatically by the proxy.
Single-page applications use client-side routing — paths like /about or /dashboard/settings do not correspond to files on disk. The Temps proxy handles this automatically.
When a request arrives for a path that:
- Has no file extension (e.g.
/about, not/about.css) - Does not match any file on disk
…the proxy serves index.html instead, and your client-side router (React Router, Vue Router, etc.) takes over. This works out of the box — you do not need _redirects, vercel.json, or any rewrite rules.
Compression & caching
The Temps proxy applies performance optimizations to all static file responses automatically:
- Gzip compression for text-based files over 1 KB (HTML, CSS, JavaScript, JSON, XML, SVG) when the browser supports it.
- ETags based on each file's content hash, so unchanged files return
304 Not Modified.
Cache-Control headers are set based on the file path:
| Pattern | Cache-Control | Use case |
|---|---|---|
/assets/*, /static/*, /_next/static/*, .chunk.*, .hash.* | public, max-age=31536000, immutable | Hashed assets that never change |
| Everything else | public, max-age=0, must-revalidate | HTML files and non-hashed resources |
Your hashed JS and CSS bundles are cached for a year, while index.html is always revalidated so new deployments are picked up immediately.
