How auto-detection works (Nixpacks)
4 min read
Spluur inspects your repo and picks a build strategy automatically — no Dockerfile required.
Detection order
Spluur checks your repo (or your configured root directory, for monorepos) for these files, in order, and uses the first match:
- ›Dockerfile — your app is built and run exactly as specified
- ›go.mod — detected as a Go app
- ›Cargo.toml — detected as a Rust app
- ›requirements.txt, pyproject.toml, or setup.py — detected as Python
- ›package.json — detected as Node.js (and your package.json scripts are read for build/start commands)
- ›index.html with no other markers — treated as a static site
When detection isn't enough
If your app needs a non-standard build or start command, set them explicitly in your project's Settings rather than relying on auto-detection — explicit settings always take priority over what's auto-detected.
