# Deploy React Router to Bunny Storage

> Build a React Router site and serve it from Bunny Storage through Bunny CDN, with the Bunny CLI or by hand.

export const build_0 = "npm run build"

React Router in framework mode can build a single-page app with no server. The browser build lands in `build/client`.

| Setting | Value |
| - | - |
| Build command | `npm run build` |
| Output directory | `build/client` |

## Configure React Router

Turn off server rendering in `react-router.config.ts`:

```ts react-router.config.ts theme={null}
import type { Config } from "@react-router/dev/config";

export default {
  ssr: false,
} satisfies Config;
```

## Deploy your site

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Bunny CLI">
    <Warning>
      `bunny sites` is in [Public Preview](/docs/product-release-stages#stage-2-public-preview)
      and available only in the Bunny CLI. It's in active development, so commands,
      flags, and behaviour may change. Share feedback on
      [Discord](https://discord.gg/bunnynet). The storage zone and pull zone behind
      each site appear in the dashboard under **Storage** and **CDN**.
    </Warning>

    <Steps>
      <Step title="Install the Bunny CLI and log in">
        ```bash theme={null}
        curl -fsSL https://cli.bunny.net/install.sh | sh
        bunny login
        ```

        See [Installation](/docs/cli/installation) for npm and other options.
      </Step>

      <Step title="Create a site">
        From your project root, run:

        ```bash theme={null}
        bunny sites create my-site
        ```

        Replace `my-site` with a name for your site. The CLI creates a storage zone for your files and a pull zone to serve them, then links this directory to the new site. The site is served at a `b-cdn.net` address, and the CLI prints the URL.
      </Step>

      <Step title="Build and deploy">
        ```bash theme={null}
        bunny sites deploy --build
        ```

        The CLI runs the build command, uploads the output directory from the table above, and publishes it. Every deploy is kept, so you can roll back with `bunny sites deployments publish --previous`.
      </Step>

      <Step title="Deploy on every push (optional)">
        ```bash theme={null}
        bunny sites ci init
        ```

        This writes a GitHub Actions workflow to `.github/workflows/bunny-sites.yml` that deploys the site on every push to `main`. Add your API key to the repository as a `BUNNYNET_API_KEY` secret. The CLI offers to run `gh secret set BUNNYNET_API_KEY` for you.
      </Step>
    </Steps>
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Manually">
    <Steps>
      <Step title="Build your site">
        From your project root, run <code>{build_0}</code>. The build writes your site to the output directory listed in the table above.
      </Step>

      <Step title="Create a storage zone">
        In the [bunny.net dashboard](https://dash.bunny.net), go to **Storage** and click **Add Storage Zone**. Give it a name, pick the main region closest to your audience, and click **Add Storage Zone**.
      </Step>

      <Step title="Upload your files">
        Open the storage zone's file manager and upload the contents of your output directory to the root of the zone. To script uploads, use the [Storage HTTP API](/docs/storage/http).
      </Step>

      <Step title="Create a pull zone">
        Go to **CDN** and click **Add Pull Zone**. Set **Origin Type** to **Storage Zone**, select the zone you created, and click **Add Pull Zone**.

        Your site is live at `https://<pull-zone-name>.b-cdn.net`.
      </Step>
    </Steps>

## Client-side routing

Single-page apps handle routing in the browser, so a direct visit to a path like `/settings` needs to load `index.html`.

The Bunny CLI turns this on for you when it detects a single-page app, unless your build includes a `404.html`. To change it, set `"spa"` in the `sites` block of `bunny.jsonc`, or pass `--spa` or `--no-spa` to `bunny sites deploy`.

For a manual deploy, open your storage zone's **Error handling** page, set **404 File path** to `/index.html`, and check **Rewrite 404 to 200 status code**. See [Storage zone settings](/docs/storage/settings#error-handling) for details.

## Add a custom domain

With the Bunny CLI, add the domain to your site:

```bash theme={null}
bunny sites domains add example.com
```

The CLI prints the `CNAME` record to create with your DNS provider. Once the record resolves, issue a free certificate with `bunny sites domains ssl example.com`.

For a manual deploy, add the hostname to your pull zone by following [Custom hostnames](/docs/cdn/custom-hostname).
