After logging in and installing the Runway CLI, you can choose from one of the examples in our documentation. For most setups, the only detail we need from you is the port your application uses—and you’re good to go!
With Buildpacks, the default port is 3000 on Runway. To override the port, use runway app config set PORT=YOUR-PORT-HERE.
Persistent storage is available in our Scale and Pro plans* on Runway. For other plans, storage is ephemeral: available while your application is running, but reset with each new deployment or restart.
Runway runs your app in a container with a read-only filesystem. For logs and similar outputs, we recommend using stdout and stderr. For temporary files, we provide a /data volume, sized according to your plan. For more details, see the Elixir example.
With persistence enabled on our larger plans, the /data volume will remain available even after you redeploy your app.
$ runway app create \
--plan scale-m-launch \
--persistence
