Remember me for faster sign in

Head on to Akash Console and log in with your wallet. I use Leap wallet, to sign my transactions. Don’t forget to top up with some $AKT.

You are free to choose any option of deployment, but I find it intuitive, like Vercel, to deploy my application using “Build & Deploy”. Simply push your code to github, and a CI/CD pipeline will make sure your updates are automatically deployed.

I use github to push my code, and after giving repository access permission to Akash, I can now choose the repository to deploy on Akash Network.

• Select the repository, folder location, and branch.
• Akash-ai-chatbot is a create-react-app and can use simple default npm commands to build and deploy the project.

• Setup environment variables for your project like API Keys.
• Adjust compute resources as per need, or use the suggested defaults, these Server specs builds up the SDL required for deploying applications on Akash net.
• Once you are ready with your configurations, hit “Create Deployment” and sign the transaction with 0.5 AKT, reserving for expenses.

• A real-time list of providers with their prices and other details will appear next. Carefully select a provider that best suits your needs. Check for audited providers with maximum uptime and minimum price.
• Once you accept the bid and sign the transaction, akash console will start deploying your project.

Under Leases Section, head on to your URI link, and voila! you have successfully deployed your project on Akash Network.

Payments are pay per use, and once you choose to close the deployment, you’ll get back the balance instantly.
