Deploy to Koyeb button

The Deploy to Koyeb button helps users deploy applications from a GitHub repository or a Docker image with one single click. As a developer, it lets you create a fast deployment option for your users.

You can add the Deploy to Koyeb button to your documentation and readme files to allow your users to deploy your application with zero configuration.

The Deploy to Koyeb button can be configured to deploy public pre-built Docker images hosted on a container registry or GitHub repositories. When configured to deploy from a private Repository, the Koyeb user account must be linked with GitHub and have access to the repository.

Below is an example of the Deploy to Koyeb button that deploy a simple NestJS application on Koyeb from a public GitHub repository.
