#Deploy Compiiile 🚀

You own your Markdown files, so unlike a proprietary solution, you can deploy Compiiile and make your knowledge-base accessible on the web freely.

Let’s suppose you have a folder containing a bunch Markdown files, with sub-folders, without any config file (no package.json whatsoever). It’s a breeze to deploy it, so let’s dive into it!

#Self-host your knowledge-base 🔨

#Using Docker

A ready-to-use Docker file is available on the repo and you can follow the instructions on the README to build the files.

#Build static files

Assuming you have Compiiile installed globally (npm install -g @compiiile/compiiile), you can run the build command with parameters on-the-fly to generate static files.

compiiile build --title="Hello world!"

You’ll have all your static files generated in the .compiiile/dist folder, ready to be served on your server!

#Deploy your Markdown files on Vercel 🌐

In your project’s Settings tab, put these settings:

• Framework preset: Other
• Build command: compiiile build --title="Hello world!"
• Output directory: .compiiile/dist
• Install command: npm install @compiiile/compiiile

Wait… is this it? Well, yeah, it’s as simple as that! Everytime you make a new deployment (via a push to the main branch of your repo or via the Vercel CLI), you’ll get your knowledge-base updated. Once again, without even config files! Isn’t it beautiful? 😮
