Deployment

void deploy

void deploy [--project <name>] [--dir <path>] [--spa] [--skip-build] [--debug]
void deploy [--platform <cloudflare|void>] [--require-email]
void deploy --platform cloudflare --atomic

Auto-detects your project type and chooses the right pipeline. See Supported App Types and Deployment for details.

On an upgraded Void platform, an accepted deployment continues if the CLI disconnects. The CLI automatically reconnects to its progress. Pressing Ctrl+C stops observation; use void project cancel to request cancellation and void project status to inspect the result. If interrupted execution requires recovery, wait for its result before deploying again.

The CLI reports stalled progress and automatic recovery, and waits up to 30 minutes after acceptance. If it times out, the deployment can continue; check void project status before trying another deployment.

For an existing Void Worker, void deploy can link the Worker and migrate its root Cloudflare config. Keep the first deployment focused on the existing app. See Deploy an existing Worker for requirements and the ISR cache choice.

For Drizzle projects, deploy performs a read-only schema drift check. If a new migration would be generated, deploy stops and tells you to run void db generate, review the migration, commit it yourself, and rerun void deploy.

Flag	Purpose
--platform <cloudflare|void>	Override the platform stored in .void/project.json
--project <name>	Target a specific Void project by slug; not supported with --platform cloudflare
--dir <path>	Deploy a pre-built static directory (skips build)
--spa	Use SPA mode instead of SSG for static deploys
--skip-build	Skip the build step; on Cloudflare this is supported for static/SPA/SSG deploys only
--require-email	Fail when email cannot be set up instead of deploying without it; requires --platform cloudflare
--atomic	Publish an existing Durable Object Worker directly; readiness is checked after traffic changes
--debug	Mirror the structured deploy log to stderr (also written to ~/.void/logs/)

--atomic applies to one deployment. For an existing Durable Object Worker that consistently cannot stage, set deploy: { cloudflare: { mode: 'atomic' } } in void.config.ts so plain void deploy uses atomic publication. The default is staged.

Every deploy writes a JSONL log to ~/.void/logs/. Failures print the log path and relevant details. Use --debug or VOID_DEPLOY_DEBUG=1 to mirror it to stderr.

Keep credentials out of build commands and register them as CI secrets so your CI provider can mask them in logs.

Platform resolution precedence:

1. --platform <cloudflare|void>
2. platform in .void/project.json
3. Void for projects initialized by an older SDK without a saved platform

Selecting Skip deployment setup stores "platform": "none"; a later void deploy stops with guidance until a platform override is provided.

For the Void platform, project resolution precedence is:

1. --project <name>
2. VOID_PROJECT
3. linked project in .void/project.json

If no project is linked and no override is provided, CLI prompts to link or create one. In CI (non-TTY), void deploy errors out instead — set VOID_PROJECT or pass --project <slug>.

void deploy --platform cloudflare

Build and deploy to your Cloudflare account using void.config.ts:

void deploy --platform cloudflare
void deploy --platform cloudflare --require-email   # fail instead of deploying without email

Void signs you in through your browser when needed and saves the selected account. In CI, set CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN and, if the token can access several accounts, CLOUDFLARE_ACCOUNT_ID.

Option or setting	Cloudflare behavior
--dir, --spa	Deploy static output through a small Worker and Workers Assets
--skip-build	Reuse existing static, SPA, or SSG output; unavailable for Worker apps
--project	Unavailable; the Worker and account come from void.config.ts and void.lock.json
Named environments	Unavailable; use the top-level cloudflare config
CLOUDFLARE_WORKERS_SUBDOMAIN	Needed in fresh CI when versions have no preview URL; cached locally after a deploy
--require-email	Fail instead of deploying without email when the email step cannot run, as in CI
DATABASE_URL	Required in the deploy environment for PostgreSQL or MySQL provisioning and migrations

The token needs Workers Scripts: Edit, read access to bound resources, and edit access to products Void provisions. Commit void.lock.json after the first deploy before using other machines or CI.

Use void secret put <NAME> for production server values. Local .env values are never deployed. Run void db generate and commit schema changes before deploying.

Sandbox requires Workers Paid, Docker, and Containers access. API tokens need Account / Containers: Edit and Account / Cloudchamber: Edit.

For email, set email.from and run void email setup --platform cloudflare locally. Commit the lock file and pass --require-email in CI. See Email setup.
