Remix on gh-pages?

[JacobWeisenburger]

Is there a way to use remix on gh-pages?

I have tried googling this and what not, but I haven't found anything that talks about this.

Remix has a server-side part that GitHub Pages will not be able to run, so it will not be possible to run Remix on a pure static file hosting.

You could however, use Remix to build an API and fetch it from a SPA on GitHub Pages but you will lose most of the benefits of using Remix, at that point it's not different than CRA + any other API server.

That's what I thought, but I just wanted to know for sure. Thanks for the quick answer.

Just adding to this since the answer is now outdated but this issue comes up on Google Searches still.

You can now do this with SPA Mode. Here's a demo

Hi, can Remix now be deployed on GH Pages with the latest SPA build?

[sergiodxa]

Yes, it should be possible, but because GH Pages doesn't redirect every route to the index.html if the user is on any route that's not / and reload the tab, it will fails to load the HTML and start the app again.

Is there any plan for exporting individual pages like Next.js does?

There has been some discussions about adding an SSG mode, you could also duplicate the index.html to match every route you need to handle after you run the build script.
