Deploy a AdonisJS app that uses Bun

Q: How do I change the Bun install command?

Run ezhst build set --install " ", then ezhst redeploy. Pass an empty string to return to auto-detection.

EasyHost picks Bun when it finds bun.lock or bun.lockb. There is nothing to configure, and these are the exact commands it runs for AdonisJS.

What EasyHost runs

Step	Command
Lockfile	`bun.lock or bun.lockb`
Install	`npm install -g bun && bun install --frozen-lockfile`
Build	`node ace build`, set as the build command
Start	`node build/bin/server.js`, set as the start command

Scripts run with bun run <script>. Dev dependencies are available during the build, and the app runs with NODE_ENV=production.

Deploy

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

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

Things to watch with Bun

Bun installs and runs your scripts, but the base image is Node. Runtime APIs that only exist in Bun need a custom start command, such as bun run src/index.ts.

Commit bun.lock or bun.lockb. Without any lockfile, EasyHost falls back to npm install. To replace the install step, run ezhst build set --install "<command>".
