Supported runtimes and versioning rules.

Last updated: 2026-03-17

Forgeon supports common runtimes including Node, Python, Go, Java, PHP, and Rust.

Version rules

  • Runtime versions default from detection
  • You can override in Build & Deployment settings

Build systems

  • Template (default)
  • Nixpacks
  • Buildpacks

Choosing the right mode

  • Use Template for opinionated, repeatable defaults.
  • Use Nixpacks when automatic detection works for your stack.
  • Use Buildpacks when you need CNB-style lifecycle and compatibility.

Troubleshooting

App runs locally but fails on Forgeon

  • Recheck start command and PORT binding (0.0.0.0:$PORT).
  • Verify runtime version compatibility with your dependencies.
