TanStackStart

Source: src/Hetzner/Website/TanStackStart.ts

Deploy a TanStack Start application to a Hetzner Cloud Server: the SSR server as a systemd unit on port 3000, static assets baked into the unit.

The build runs through @alchemy.run/frontend-frameworks/tanstack-start with the @alchemy.run/frontend-frameworks/tanstack-start/node deploy target — both must be installed in your project, alongside @tanstack/react-start (or @tanstack/solid-start) and vite.

Your vite.config.ts needs no adapter wiring: TanStack Start is pure Vite, so the integration drives the project’s own vite build, forces the SSR bundle to be self-contained, and wraps its fetch handler as a Node HTTP server.

const site = yield* Hetzner.Website.TanStackStart("Web", {
rootDir: "./app",

env: {
API_BASE: "https://api.example.com",
},
});
