Migrating from Render

Render web services and Atlasflow projects work similarly: both deploy a container from a Git repository. The main changes are the fixed port and moving from render.yaml to project settings.

# What maps over

# Steps

1. Create a project from your GitHub repository.
2. Match the build. If you used a Dockerfile on Render, point Atlasflow at the same Dockerfile path. If you used a native runtime, rely on automatic builds or add a Dockerfile.
3. Set the port to 3000. Render uses a dynamic PORT; Atlasflow expects port 3000 bound to 0.0.0.0.
4. Replace render.yaml. Atlasflow doesn't read a config file; set the root directory, Dockerfile path, branch, and variables in project settings.
5. Health check on /. Render lets you set a custom health check path; Atlasflow checks GET /. Make sure / returns a 2xx status. See Container requirements.
6. Recreate variables, deploy, test the preview URL, then move your domain.

# Things to know

• Background workers and cron jobs map to separate projects running the relevant command as a long-lived process.
• Managed databases are coming soon; bring your own for now.

# Next steps

• Configuration: replace render.yaml with project settings.
• Container requirements: port and health check.
• Custom domains: move your domain.
