PinMe
Create and deploy your web in one command.
PinMe
PinMe is a zero-config deployment CLI focused on one-command creation and deployment for full-stack projects.
It lets you quickly set up and launch a complete project with an integrated frontend, Worker backend, and database, without tedious configuration. PinMe is built to make full-stack delivery much simpler and significantly improve development efficiency.

Quick Start
Prerequisites
- Node.js
>= 16.13.0
Create a new Worker project
npm install -g pinme
pinme login
pinme create my-app
cd my-app
pinme save
What this workflow gives you:
- a generated PinMe project from the official template
- platform-side Worker and database provisioning
- local project config in
pinme.toml - frontend and Worker deployment from one CLI
Update only the part you changed
pinme update-worker
pinme update-db
pinme update-web
Upload a static build when you do not need the project workflow
pinme login
pinme upload dist
Common build directories are dist, build, out, and public.
For AI Agents
Prefer the PinMe project workflow when the user wants a frontend plus backend plus database, or when the repo already contains pinme.toml.
Project-mode protocol
Use this flow when the user wants a Worker app, database migrations, or ongoing project updates.
- Check Node.js:
node --version
- Ensure the CLI is available:
npm install -g pinme
- Authenticate:
pinme login
- Choose the right project command:
- create a new project:
pinme create <name> - deploy everything from a PinMe project root:
pinme save - update Worker only:
pinme update-worker - update SQL migrations only:
pinme update-db - update frontend only:
pinme update-web
-
If the repo contains
pinme.toml, run project commands from that directory. -
Return the final project URL printed by the CLI for frontend deploys. For Worker-only or DB-only updates, return the relevant success result instead of fabricating a URL.
Static-upload fallback
Use this only when the task is just “publish the built frontend” and there is no PinMe project workflow involved.
- Authenticate:
pinme login
Or for automation:
pinme set-appkey <AppKey>
- Find the built output directory in this order:
dist/build/out/public/
-
Verify the directory exists and contains built assets such as
index.html. -
Upload it:
pinme upload <folder>
Guardrails
- Do not upload source folders such as
src/. - Do not upload
node_modules,.git, or.env. - Do not claim unsupported backend hosting outside the PinMe project template flow.
- For project commands, do not run
update-*commands outside a PinMe project root withpinme.toml.
Installation
Install from npm:
npm install -g pinme
Verify installation:
pinme --version
PinMe Project Workflow
What create sets up
pinme create <name> does more than scaffold files. The command:
- requires an authenticated session
- creates the platform project resources first
- downloads the official Worker project template
- writes project metadata into
pinme.toml - writes backend metadata and frontend config files
- installs workspace dependencies
- builds the Worker
- uploads Worker code and SQL files
- builds the frontend and attempts an initial frontend upload
After creation, the CLI prints the project management URL and suggests pinme save for the next deploy.
Create a project
pinme login
pinme create my-app
If the target directory already exists, the CLI asks before overwriting it unless --force is used.
Deploy the whole project
Run this from the project root that contains pinme.toml:
pinme save
pinme save --domain my-site
pinme save --domain example.com
save performs the full deploy path:
- installs project dependencies
- builds the Worker with
npm run build:worker - uploads Worker code and SQL files from
db/ - builds the frontend with
npm run build:frontend - uploads
frontend/dist - optionally binds a domain after the frontend deploy
Update only one layer
Use targeted commands when only one part changed:
pinme update-worker
pinme update-db
pinme update-web
What each command expects:
update-worker: builds and uploads Worker code from the current PinMe projectupdate-db: uploads.sqlfiles fromdb/update-web: builds and uploadsfrontend/dist
Delete a project
pinme delete
pinme delete my-app
pinme delete my-app --force
This deletes the platform-side Worker, domain binding, and D1 database. Local files remain unchanged.
Authentication and Account Commands
Login and AppKey
pinme login
pinme login --env test
pinme set-appkey
pinme set-appkey <AppKey>
pinme show-appkey
pinme appkey
pinme logout
Notes:
pinme loginis the recommended path for project commands.set-appkeyis the alternative authentication method for CLI and automation usage.
Domains, wallet, and history
pinme my-domains
pinme domain
pinme wallet
pinme wallet-balance
pinme balance
pinme list
pinme ls
pinme list -l 5
pinme list -c
Static Uploads and IPFS Utilities
These commands are useful when you already have artifacts and do not need the full Worker project flow.
Upload a directory or file
pinme upload
pinme upload ./dist
pinme upload ./dist --domain my-site
pinme upload ./dist --domain example.com
pinme upload ./dist --domain my-site --dns
Domain handling:
- domains containing a dot are treated as DNS domains
- domains without a dot are treated as PinMe subdomains
--dnsforces DNS mode
Bind while uploading
pinme bind ./dist --domain my-site
pinme bind ./dist --domain example.com
bind requires wallet balance.
Import or export CAR files
pinme import
pinme import ./site.car
pinme import ./site.car --domain my-site
pinme export <cid>
pinme export <cid> --output ./exports
Remove uploaded content
pinme rm
pinme rm <value>

Limits and Operational Notes
- Default single-file upload limit:
100MB - Default directory upload limit:
500MB - These upload defaults come from the CLI and can be overridden with environment variables
update-dbenforces a total SQL payload limit of10MBper runupload,import, and project commands require authentication- domain binding requires wallet balance
save,update-worker,update-db, andupdate-webexpect to run from a PinMe project root withpinme.toml
