+title: Host on Firebase
+description: You can use Firebase's free tier to host your static website; this also gives you access to Firebase's NoSQL API.

+
+## Assumptions
+
+1. You have an account with [Firebase][signup]. (If you don't, you can sign up for free using your Google account.)
+2. You have completed the [Quick Start] or have a completed Hugo website ready for deployment.
+
+## Initial setup
+
+Go to the [Firebase console][console] and create a new project (unless you already have a project). You will need to globally install `firebase-tools` (node.js):
+
+```sh
+npm install -g firebase-tools
+```
+
+Log in to Firebase (setup on your local machine) using `firebase login`, which opens a browser where you can select your account. Use `firebase logout` in case you are already logged in but to the wrong account.
+
+```sh
+firebase login
+```
+
+In the root of your Hugo project, initialize the Firebase project with the `firebase init` command:
+
+```sh
+firebase init
+```
+
+From here:
+
+1. Choose Hosting in the feature question
+2. Choose the project you just set up
+3. Accept the default for your database rules file
+4. Accept the default for the publish directory, which is `public`
+5. Choose "No" in the question if you are deploying a single-page app
+
+## Using Firebase & GitHub CI/CD
+
+In new versions of Firebase, some other questions apply:
+
+6. Set up automatic builds and deploys with GitHub?
+
+Here you will be redirected to login in your GitHub account to get permissions. Confirm.
+
+7. For which GitHub repository would you like to set up a GitHub workflow? (format: user/repository)
+
+Include the repository you will use in the format above (Account/Repo)
+Firebase script with retrieve credentials, create a service account you can later manage in your GitHub settings.
+
+8. Set up the workflow to run a build script before every deploy?
+
+Here is your opportunity to include some commands before you run the deploy.
+
+9. Set up automatic deployment to your site's live channel when a PR is merged?
+
+You can let in the default option (main)
+
+After that Firebase has been set in your project with CI/CD. After that run:
+
+```sh
+hugo && firebase deploy
+```
+
+With this you will have the app initialized manually. After that you can manage and fix your GitHub workflow from: https://github.com/your-account/your-repo/actions
+
+Don't forget to update your static pages before push!
+
+## Manual deploy
+
+To deploy your Hugo site, execute the `firebase deploy` command, and your site will be up in no time:
+
+```sh
+hugo && firebase deploy
+```
+
+## CI setup (other tools)
+
+You can generate a deploy token using
+
+```sh
+firebase login:ci
+```
+
+You can also set up your CI and add the token to a private variable like `$FIREBASE_DEPLOY_TOKEN`.
+
+{{% note %}}
+This is a private secret and it should not appear in a public repository. Make sure you understand your chosen CI and that it's not visible to others.
+{{% /note %}}
+
+You can then add a step in your build to do the deployment using the token:
+
+```sh
+firebase deploy --token $FIREBASE_DEPLOY_TOKEN
+```
