Free AdonisJS hosting

EasyHost runs AdonisJS, a batteries-included TypeScript framework, in an always-on Node.js container for $0. No credit card is needed, and your agent can deploy it with one instruction.

Last updated November 9, 2026

What you get

An always-on container with 512 MB of RAM and 1 CPU
A URL at <app-slug>.easyhost.fun, plus custom domains with HTTPS
One Postgres 16 database and one S3 bucket per project
Up to 3 apps and 5 schedules per project

How AdonisJS builds and runs

Step	What EasyHost uses
Build	`node ace build`, set as the build command
Start	`node build/bin/server.js`, set as the start command
Runtime env	`NODE_ENV=production`, `PORT=3000`, `HOST=0.0.0.0`

Set the build and start commands, plus APP_KEY, LOG_LEVEL and SESSION_DRIVER if your start/env.ts requires them.

start/env.ts

export default await Env.create(new URL("../", import.meta.url), {
  NODE_ENV: Env.schema.enum(["development", "production", "test"] as const),
  PORT: Env.schema.number(),
  HOST: Env.schema.string({ format: "host" }),
  APP_KEY: Env.schema.string(),
  LOG_LEVEL: Env.schema.string(),
});

Deploy it

npx ezhst projects create my-project --link
npx ezhst apps create my-app
npx ezhst link --project <project-slug> --app <app-slug>
npx ezhst build set --build "node ace build" --start "node build/bin/server.js"
npx ezhst env set APP_KEY=<key> LOG_LEVEL=info
npx ezhst env import .env
npx ezhst deploy

Limits and caveats

AdonisJS validates its environment at boot, so a missing APP_KEY stops the app before it listens. Check ezhst logs.

Apps run in one region, with no edge network, preview deployments or Git integration. One build runs at a time.
