Implementation Details

Deployment Process

1. Check Build Directory: Verifies if the specified build directory exists

2. Website Creation: Creates a new static website through 1Panel API if it doesn't exist

3. File Upload: Uploads all files from the build directory to the website

4. Statistics: Returns detailed statistics about the upload process

Troubleshooting

If you encounter deployment issues, check the following:

1. Ensure your API Key is valid and has sufficient permissions

2. Verify that the website directory exists and has write permissions

3. Check the 1Panel server logs for more detailed error information

4. If file uploads fail, it may be due to file permission or format issues
