Deploy a Lovable App with Hostman App Platform

You've built something in Lovable. Now let's put it on the internet. 

The good news: deploying from Lovable is one of the smoothest experiences in vibe-coding. Connect your GitHub account to the project, and your code is already in place and ready to ship. No terminal, no configuration files, no guesswork.

This guide covers taking your Lovable project from the editor to a live, publicly accessible URL via Hostman App Platform. The whole process takes around 10 minutes. And once it's set up, every change you make in Lovable goes live automatically—no manual redeploys, ever.

Before You Begin

You'll need two things:

• A project in Lovable. Something you've built and want to share—a landing page, a tool, a web app, anything.
• A Hostman account. Create one at hostman.com if you haven't already. It only takes a minute.

Step 1. Create a GitHub Account

Hostman doesn't pull your code directly from Lovable, it pulls from GitHub. Think of GitHub as the middleman that holds your project's files and lets Hostman know when something has changed. You'll need an account there before anything else.

Already have one? Skip to Step 2.

1. Go to github.com and click Sign up.
2. Register with your Google account, Apple ID, or an email address.

Once you're in, you'll land on your dashboard.

Step 2. Connect Your Project to GitHub

This is the step that makes everything else easy. When you link your Lovable project to GitHub, it creates a repository for your code and keeps it in sync automatically. 

Every edit you make in Lovable gets pushed to GitHub without you having to do anything.

1. In your Lovable chat window, click a plus icon.

2. Select GitHub.

3. Click Add connection.

4. Click Add account.

5. A new window will open. Click Authorize.
6. Click Install and Authorize.
7. Enter your GitHub account password if prompted.

That's it. 

Back in Lovable, you'll see your GitHub account listed as connected, along with the name of the repository Lovable has created for your project.

Your code is already there. Go ahead and open the repo on GitHub if you want to confirm.

You don't need to name the repo or configure anything. Lovable handles all of that for you.

With your project on GitHub, you're ready to deploy.

Step 3. Deploy on Hostman App Platform

Let's get your app running in the cloud.

1. Open the Hostman dashboard → App platform → Create aApp.
2. Choose your app type. Select Frontend, Backend, or Docker, then pick the framework your app uses.

Not sure which framework your app uses? Ask Loveable: "What framework is this app built with?"

3. Connect your GitHub account and repository:

• • Click the GitHub icon on the Repository step.
  • Sign in and authorize access.
  • Select your repository from the list.

Keep Built by the last executed commit enabled. This is what allows Hostman to automatically redeploy your app every time Lovable pushes a new change to GitHub.

4. Choose a deployment region.
5. Configure your app settings. What you need to fill in here depends on your project type. When in doubt, ask Lovable. It knows your app's stack.

For framework-specific guidance, refer to the Hostman docs: Frontend · Backend · Dockerfile · Docker Compose.

6. Click Order and wait for the deployment to finish.

You're Live!

When deployment completes, head to Dashboard and find the Domain field on the right. That's your app's public URL. Copy it, share it, send it to anyone you want.

Want to use a custom domain instead? Go to Settings to set it up.

From here on, your workflow is as simple as it gets: make changes in Lovable, and they'll flow to GitHub automatically. Hostman sees the new commit and redeploys your app in the background. You don't have to touch a thing.
