Frequently asked

How do I deploy Craft CMS to fortrabbit?
Git push

Git push - Deploy code with `git push`; Composer runs in the build. Our free Craft plugin automates setup checks, database syncs, and deploys. Keep uploaded assets in persistent storage and add a MySQL component for the database.

#
Can I host an older version of Craft CMS, like Craft 3?
Yes

Yes - Your `composer.json` pins the Craft version and a matching PHP release is selected, so a Craft 3 site keeps running while the move to Craft 5 is planned. Craft's own license terms still apply.

#
Does the Craft license cost extra on fortrabbit?
Partially

Partially - Craft CMS is commercial software, and its license is billed by Pixel & Tonic, not by us. fortrabbit charges for hosting and Craft for the license — two separate things.

#
Can I try Craft hosting before paying?
Yes

Yes - Start a free trial — seven days, no credit card — and deploy a real Craft site with the help of our Craft plugin and guides.

#
Can I run Craft console commands and scheduled tasks?
Over SSH

Over SSH - Full SSH access is included, so `craft` console commands and migrations run directly against the environment. Scheduled jobs like queue runners are set up as cron jobs.
