# Migrate NestJS from Render to EasyHost

Move your NestJS app in four steps, and keep Render running until the new deployment works.

## Export your variables

Copy variables from the Environment tab in the Render dashboard into a local `.env` file.

Then import them into EasyHost.

```
npx ezhst env import .env
```

## Change the NestJS setup

No adapter is needed. Remove any serverless bootstrap and call `app.listen` in `src/main.ts`.

`render.yaml` is not read by EasyHost, so its build and routing rules need moving into your app or into build settings.

Run the compiled app with `node dist/main` and listen on `process.env.PORT`.

## Deploy and test

```
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 --start "node dist/main"
npx ezhst env import .env
npx ezhst deploy
```

Test your `easyhost.fun` URL before changing DNS. Render runs your app on long-running services, so check anything that depends on it, such as platform functions or cron configuration. Schedules move to [EasyHost schedules](/guides/nestjs-cron-jobs).

## Switch your domain

```
npx ezhst domains add www.example.com
npx ezhst domains list
npx ezhst domains verify www.example.com
```

Follow the [custom domain guides](/guides) for your DNS provider. Keep Render running until traffic has moved. Also read [why NestJS may be unreachable](/errors/nestjs-app-unreachable) and the [Render overview](/migrate/render).
