FlutterFlow AI + Hostwares: How to Launch Your Web App from GitHub
Created a web app with FlutterFlow AI and ready to make it available online? FlutterFlow AI helps you build applications faster with visual tools and AI assistance. Once your web app is ready, you can use GitHub to organize the project and Hostwares to deploy it to a cloud hosting environment. From deployment to custom domain, SSL, and ongoing management, this guide covers the complete process.
1. Build Your Web App in FlutterFlow
Start by creating your web application in FlutterFlow. Use FlutterFlow's visual builder and AI features to design your pages, components, navigation, and required functionality. Preview the web app and test the important features before preparing it for deployment.
2. Prepare the Web Version
Make sure your project is configured for web deployment. Review the generated project, required packages, environment variables, API connections, and other settings needed for the application to work correctly.
3. Export or Sync Your Project to GitHub
Use the GitHub integration or export workflow available for your FlutterFlow project to place the web application code in a GitHub repository. Make sure the repository contains the latest version you want to publish and that the correct deployment branch is selected.
4. Start with Hostwares
Go to Hostwares and click Get Started. Create your account or log in to your existing account. From the Hostwares Dashboard, open the Sites section to begin your deployment.
5. Connect GitHub
Click New Site and choose the GitHub deployment option. Connect your GitHub account and select the repository containing your FlutterFlow web application. Choose the branch that contains your production-ready project.
6. Configure Your Hosting
Review the project settings detected by Hostwares. Add any required environment variables and configure the build settings according to your project's requirements. Then select a suitable Hostwares resource package based on your expected traffic and application needs.
7. Deploy Your Web App
Confirm the settings and start the deployment. Hostwares will prepare the cloud environment and publish your FlutterFlow web application. When deployment is complete, open the provided URL and check your live application.
8. Test the Live Version
Before sharing your application with users, test the live website carefully. Check the navigation, pages, forms, buttons, API connections, images, authentication, and other important features. If something needs to be changed, update your project and deploy the latest version again.
9. Connect Your Custom Domain
Once your web app is working correctly, connect your own domain. Open the domain settings in Hostwares, add your domain, and follow the DNS configuration instructions. Update the required DNS records with your domain provider and wait for the changes to become active.
10. Enable SSL
After your domain is connected, configure SSL through the relevant Hostwares settings. SSL enables HTTPS and helps keep the connection between your visitors and your web application secure.
11. Update Through GitHub
Your web app can continue to improve after launch. When you make changes in FlutterFlow, sync or export the updated project to GitHub and deploy the new version through Hostwares. This gives you a simple workflow for moving updates from development to your live website.
12. Manage Your Application
After launch, the Hostwares Dashboard becomes your central place for managing your hosting setup. Depending on your configuration, you can manage your site, deployments, domain, resources, and other hosting services from one dashboard. Why Choose Hostwares for FlutterFlow Web Apps?
