What are the steps?
lla.ma Client Project Onboarding (Delivery)
- 01
Create a new project in the lla.ma dashboard
Navigate to the Projects section and click 'New Project'. Choose the cloud or self-hosted option based on the client's infrastructure preference.
- 02
Connect the client's GitHub repository
Authorize lla.ma to access the repository. Select the branch (typically main) that will trigger automatic deployments on each push.
- 03
Configure environment variables
In the project settings, add all required environment variables (API keys, database URLs) before the first build to avoid runtime failures.
- 04
Verify framework auto-detection
Check that lla.ma correctly identifies the framework (Next.js, static site, Dockerfile) via Nixpacks. If detection fails, manually specify the build command and output directory.
- 05
Set up custom domain and auto-HTTPS
Add the client's domain in the Domains section. lla.ma will automatically provision a Let's Encrypt certificate; update DNS records as instructed.
- 06
Trigger the first deployment
Push a commit to the main branch or use the 'Deploy' button. Monitor the live build logs to ensure the build completes without errors.
- 07
Test rollback and document the workflow
After a successful deploy, test the one-click rollback feature to confirm it reverts to the previous version. Document the push-to-deploy process for the client's team.
