Build output API

How Forgeon interprets build outputs and runtime metadata.

Last updated: 2026-03-17

Forgeon analyzes build outputs to determine runtime configuration.

What Forgeon expects

  • A build artifact (static or server)
  • A start command (for server)
  • A port (for web services)

Where output is used

  • Build system selection (Template / Nixpacks / Buildpacks)
  • Runtime config persistence
  • Deploy pipelines

Troubleshooting

Wrong build system picked

  • Set build system explicitly and redeploy
