Containerize apps built with AI

Orbit generates apps you can containerize with a minimal Dockerfile — static React build served by nginx, with Supabase outside the container.

Deploy AI Apps with Docker

Orbit output containerizes in a few lines: build the Vite project, serve the dist/ with nginx. The backend stays in Supabase, keeping the container small and stateless.

In plain English

Docker packages an app so it runs anywhere. Orbit's output containerizes in a few lines — build, serve with nginx, done — with the backend staying in Supabase.

How it works in Orbit

Docker packages apps into portable containers. Orbit's standard projects containerize cleanly, letting you run the same image anywhere — your laptop, a VPS, or any cluster.

Container-ready output

A standard Vite build in a small Node base image is a lean, fast container. Orbit's projects need no special Dockerfile tricks.

  • Standard Node base image
  • Small container size
  • No custom hacks

Run anywhere

The same image runs on a VPS, Fly.io, Kubernetes, or a CI pipeline. Orbit doesn't care where you deploy — it produces the artifact.

  • Portable images
  • Any cloud or VPS
  • CI/CD friendly

Database alongside

Compose files pair the app container with Postgres or Supabase. Orbit's env-var config maps directly to Docker environment settings.

  • Compose-ready
  • Env-var configuration
  • Sidecar databases
  1. Build the app

    Generate a standard project.

  2. Add a Dockerfile

    Orbit's docs show the minimal one.

  3. Compose services

    Pair app + database containers.

  4. Deploy anywhere

    Run the same image in any environment.

The challenge

Try it yourself

Run this one on a competitor first — then on Orbit. Same prompt, and keep score.

Build

Try this one elsewhere first.

Containerize the same app from two builders. Compare Dockerfile length and who still leaks secrets into the image.

Research

Ask a research tool to go deep on one topic.

Then ask Orbit. Compare how many rounds it runs, how many sources it actually reads — we target 65+ — and whether every claim in the final report has a link attached. Bring a bigger coffee mug.

Chat

Ask a plain chatbot the same question.

One just talks. Orbit's agent actually searches the web, runs code, reads your files, and comes back with something done. Compare how many tabs you opened and how many are still open when you're finished.

Image & video

Generate the same image, then edit it.

Ask two tools for the same hero shot, then ask both to recolor it, fill in the background, and animate it. Compare who hands you a first draft and who keeps refining in the same conversation.

Frequently asked questions

How do I containerize an Orbit app?

Multi-stage Dockerfile: node image builds the Vite app, nginx image serves the static output. Backend stays in Supabase.

Does Orbit generate Dockerfiles?

Orbit's projects are standard enough that a minimal two-line Dockerfile works. The build output is the same artifact you'd ship from any CI pipeline.

Can I run an Orbit app inside Docker?

Yes — the generated project containerizes cleanly with a standard Dockerfile, and Orbit wires a Postgres database alongside, so you can run the whole stack locally or on any container host.
