How to host your Bolt.new app in Canada.
Bolt.new builds and previews an app in the browser. When it’s ready for real users, host it in Canada.
Export the project — download it or push to GitHub — and Canner detects the framework, builds it in a sandbox, and serves it from Montreal over HTTPS.
Bolt.new (from StackBlitz) generates full projects — Vite, Next.js, Node, Astro — right in the browser. That in-browser runtime is great for iterating, but it isn’t where you run production. Because Bolt gives you the real project files, deploying to Canadian-owned hosting takes a couple of minutes.
- 1
Export your project from Bolt
Use Download to grab the project as a folder, or push it to a GitHub repository from Bolt. Either gives you the real, self-contained source with its package.json and lockfile.
- 2
Build it locally once
Run npm install && npm run build to confirm it compiles outside the Bolt sandbox. Canner runs the identical build, so a clean local build means a clean deploy. Bind any server to process.env.PORT.
- 3
Send it to Canner
Drag the folder into New project, connect the GitHub repo for push-to-deploy, or run canner deploy from the CLI. No config file needed — the framework is detected automatically.
- 4
Wire up data and secrets
If your app needs a database, provision Canner’s managed Postgres (injected as DATABASE_URL). Add API keys as encrypted environment variables so nothing sensitive ships to the client.
- 5
Ship it
Canner builds, starts the app under its own Linux user, and issues TLS automatically. Your site is live at your-project.app.canner.ca; add a custom domain whenever you want.
- Handles whatever Bolt generated — Vite, Next.js, Node, Astro, static.
- Three ways in: drag-and-drop, GitHub push-to-deploy, or the CLI.
- Hosted only in Montreal — 100% Canadian-owned, outside the CLOUD Act.
- Managed Postgres, object storage and cron included, no add-ons.
How do I get my code out of Bolt.new?
Bolt supports downloading the project and pushing to GitHub. Either path gives you the standard source Canner builds from — you’re never locked in.
Do Next.js apps from Bolt work on Canner?
Yes. Canner runs Next.js natively, along with Vite, plain Node, and static sites. The framework is auto-detected at build time.
Is my data hosted in Canada?
Yes — compute and managed Postgres both run in Montreal. Canner has no US affiliate, so your app sits outside US CLOUD Act reach.
What does it cost to start?
Nothing — the Starter tier is free and needs no card. It sleeps when idle; CA$9/mo Live keeps it always-on with a custom domain.
Ship it on Canadian soil.
Free Starter tier, no card required. Your app goes live at your-project.app.canner.ca with HTTPS — hosted in Quebec, outside the US CLOUD Act.
