Deploy to your own server

You'll need: Node 20+, git, and SSH access. Works on any Linux distro.

One-line install

Paste this on your VPS shell:

curl -fsSL https://hatch.adityaarsharma.com/install.sh | bash

The script:

1. Clones https://github.com/adityaarsharma/hatch
2. Runs npm install
3. Runs npm run build
4. Tells you where the build output lives — your panel handles the rest

Custom directory

curl -fsSL https://hatch.adityaarsharma.com/install.sh | bash -s -- --dir /home/yourapp

What it does NOT do

Deliberately minimal. The installer stops at "code is built." Your panel handles everything past that:

• Installing Node
• Your web server config
• Keeping the process alive (PM2 / systemd / panel-managed)
• Domain binding

After install

1. Create astro-starter/.env with your 4 WP credentials (from WP admin → Tools → Hatch → Connector tab)
2. Point your webapp at <install-dir>/astro-starter/dist/
3. Or run as Node: node <install-dir>/astro-starter/dist/server/entry.mjs
