When you are NOT deploying to a nice and simple platform like Vercel, you may be doing things a little more manually.
For SvelteKit that is often really easy, tooling like nixpacks allows for a pretty much seamless deployment of most any application anywhere.
I was working on a simple little test app to explore the functionality of how Coolify and SvelteKit both handles subdomains and I was getting a node version mismatch error due to a dep requiring one of a few specific node versions.
Due to this I had to go the route of deploying with Docker instead, so here is a bare minimum Dockerfile for SvelteKit should anyone need one in the future.
# ---- Build stage ----
FROM node:24-alpine AS build
WORKDIR /app
# Install dependencies (cache-friendly)
COPY package.json package-lock.json ./
RUN npm ci
# Copy source and build
COPY . .
RUN npm run build
# ---- Run stage ----
FROM node:24-alpine AS run
WORKDIR /app
# Copy the built app
COPY --from=build /app/package.json ./
COPY --from=build /app/build ./build
EXPOSE 3000
CMD ["node", "build"]
Cheers
