Deploy a Zola site in seconds
Zola is a Rust generator, so Tuqo does not build it in its Node sandbox. Build the site locally with zola build and upload the public/ folder. Tuqo serves the static files over HTTPS with free SSL.
public · free SSL Build locally
zola build, and Zola generates the static site in public/.
Pack the output
tar -czf site.tar.gz -C public . puts index.html at the root of the archive. A .zip works too, and in the panel you can simply drag the folder in.
Upload to Tuqo
The site is on name.tuqo.ru right away, free SSL, a custom domain from the Start plan.
# build Zola locally (Rust, not Node: Tuqo builds npm projects only)
zola build
# pack the finished output (index.html must be at the root of the archive)
tar -czf site.tar.gz -C public .
# deploy over REST (or from the panel, or from an AI agent over MCP)
SITE=<site_id> # from the panel or list_sites
curl -X POST https://api.tuqo.ru/api/v1/sites/$SITE/deploys \
-H "Authorization: Bearer tqk_xxx_yyy" \
-H "Content-Type: application/gzip" \
--data-binary @site.tar.gz
The command line is not the only way: in the panel you can simply drag the site folder
in, and instead of .tar.gz a
.zip works too — Tuqo detects the archive
format by itself.
Deploying Zola — frequently asked questions
Why is Zola not built on the server? +
Tuqo builds only Node projects (npm). Zola is written in Rust, so build locally and upload the ready public/ folder.
What exactly do I upload? +
The contents of public/ (index.html and assets): drag the folder into the panel or pack it into a .tar.gz or .zip.
Is it a good fit for a blog? +
Yes, Zola is very fast and search-friendly, great for blogs and documentation.
