I'm building a plugin for Penpot but don't know how to host

Dear Penpot community,

I’m developing a plugin for Penpot and would love to submit it to the official directory when it’s done, but I’m not sure how and where it can be hosted since there is a link I need to provide towards the manifest file.

I used the starter template as a reference point. I’m asking because I’m not a huge org that can sustain thousands of installs from my server so I’m just curious how this works.

Thank you :folded_hands:

Nevermind my friends, I have found a way to host it on Vercel and hopefully it won’t get flooded by too many requests. Or maybe it will be a good thing :sweat_smile:

Hey Zoltan! Let me know and i can set you up if you want it locally. You ca add the “disable-registration” and then you do not need to worry about getting flooded by too many requests.

Hello!

Is your Org’s Penpot instance self-hosted?

What you have done is good, as the plugin documentation recommends deploying to trusted platforms such as Netlify or Vercel.

However, if you want to deploy the plugin on your dedicated server, you may take a glance at Coolify, which is FOSS on self-hosted :grin:
