Deploy Halo Service
Halo is a powerful and easy-to-use open source website building tool, with rich themes and plugins to help you build the ideal site in your mind.
This article will teach you how to deploy your own Halo service on Zeabur through the service market, and bind your own domain name.
Step 1: Create a project
To deploy this service, you will need to create a project first if you haven’t done so. You can follow this document to create your project.
Step 2: Deploy PostgreSQL Service
Halo service currently only supports PostgreSQL databases in Zeabur. Before creating a Halo service, you need to deploy a PostgreSQL service and create a database.
Click the “Create Service” button and select “Marketplace”. You will find PostgreSQL in the list.
After selecting PostgreSQL, you can give the service a custom name and click “Deploy”.
Step 3: Create a database
To run Halo, we need to create a database named halo in PostgreSQL.
Please connect to your PostgreSQL service with any PostgreSQL client. In this article, we will use psql to connect.
You can find the psql connection command or other connection information in the “Connection” block of the PostgreSQL service in the Zeabur console.
For example：
psql postgresql://root:password@infra.zeabur.com:12345Then, please enter the following command in psql to create the halo database:
CREATE DATABASE halo;Step 4: Deploy Halo Service
In the Zeabur console, click the “Create Service” button and select “Marketplace”. You will find Halo in the list.
After selecting Halo, you can give the service a custom name and click “Deploy”.
It should be noted that because we have deployed the PostgreSQL service before deploying Halo, Zeabur will automatically help you inject PostgreSQL-related environment variables into Halo’s service, so there is no need to manually configure database information.
If you deploy Halo before deploying PostgreSQL, you need to restart Halo after deploying PostgreSQL to make Halo use the correct database connection information.
Step 5: Bind a domain
In the “Domain” block of the Halo service in the Zeabur console, you can bind a domain to it. This domain can be your own domain or a free domain provided by Zeabur.
For more information about how to bind a domain to your service, please refer to Bind a domain.
Step 6: Log in and configure Halo
After binding the domain, you can click the domain name to enter the setup page of Halo, and follow the prompts to complete the setup and use the Halo service.
