Getting started

From renting a server to a live site with a domain and HTTPS.

Nolay installs an agent on your server, and from then on it builds and runs your projects. The pages of this section go in order: if you do not have a server yet, start with “What is a VPS”.

What is Nolay: what the product is made of and what the agent does.
What is a VPS and where to get one: which server to rent.
Server requirements: OS, memory, disk, network.
Connecting a server: one install command.
First project: code from GitHub, an archive, Git by URL or a ready-made image.

Once the project runs, add a domain and HTTPS.
