Which Node.js version is used for deploying applications?

What are some common mistakes to avoid when using Zipup Cloud?
  • Updating environment variables or secrets and expecting changes to take effect without a restart or redeployment.
  • Assuming all file writes are persistent. Only data written to the /data directory is preserved across deployments.
  • Building on a different architecture (e.g., ARM vs x86) with native binary dependencies can lead to runtime incompatibilities. Zipup is currently tested on x86 environments—ensure your build matches the target architecture.
  • Relying on console.log for logging. While it works, using structured logging allows you to take full advantage of VictoriaLogs, including powerful querying and filtering.
  • Not running your application on ZIPUP_PORT port. It is available in env variables, You can access it with process.env.ZIPUP_PORT.
  • using zipup.config.json for api key and secret key. Although this works but it is just convenience. Always gitignore zipup.config.json and prefer environment variables for api key and secret key.
  • Forgetting to set a start command before deployment.
Why am I seeing an SSL error on my domain?

SSL certificates are provisioned automatically, but it can take a short time for them to be issued and propagated.

If you encounter an SSL error:

  • Wait a few moments
  • Refresh the page a couple of times

In most cases, the issue resolves on its own once the certificate is fully set up.

Also ensure your domain is correctly pointing to your server:

Just run this command in your terminal.

dig your-domain +short

The returned IP should match your server’s IP address.
