- A public HTTPS URL on port 8080
- A SQLite database inside the container
Before you deploy

- Runs on the Free plan
How to deploy
- Press Deploy. Sign in or create a NEXUS AI account and you return to the same page.

- Wait for the build, then open your URL when the status is Running.
After it deploys
- Sign in to the dashboard at /admin/dashboard with the admin account you chose
- Add your providers and create API keys for your apps
- Call https://<your-app>.nexusai.run/v1 with one of those keys
Your data
