Gatsby Example

Gatsby is an open-source static site generator which is built on Node.js and utilizes React and GraphQL. This documentation provides detailed instructions on how to deploy your Gatsby project using Flightcontrol.

Prerequisites

Instructions

Create a nixpacks.toml file in your Gatsby Project. Our Nixpacks build type will detect the Gatsby project as a Node.js project for installation, but there are two additional packages that also need to be included for a successful build.

Use the following as the contents of the nixpacks.toml file:

nixpacks.toml

[phases.setup]
  nixPkgs = ['...','python311']
  aptPkgs = ['build-essential']

The nixpacks.toml file provides a declarative way to specify project dependencies.

After adding this file, you can configure your project with Flightcontrol.
