Deployment#

How to deploy DNS Migrator for each supported mode.

The simplest deployment — serverless, free tier, auto-scaling.

1. Clone and install#

git clone https://github.com/andrew-kemp/DNS-Migrator.git
cd DNS-Migrator
npm install

2. Deploy#

npx wrangler pages deploy public

Wrangler will:

  • Upload public/ as static assets (the web UI)
  • Deploy functions/ as serverless API endpoints
  • Return a live URL (e.g. https://dns-migrator.pages.dev)

3. (Optional) Connect to GitHub#

For automatic deployments on push:

  1. Go to Cloudflare Dashboard → Pages
  2. Click Create a project → Connect to Git
  3. Select the DNS-Migrator repository
  4. Set build output directory to public
  5. Deploy

Every push to main will trigger a new deployment automatically.

Local Node.js (Development)#

Run DNS Migrator on your local machine with Express.

1. Clone and install#

git clone https://github.com/andrew-kemp/DNS-Migrator.git
cd DNS-Migrator
npm install

2. Start the server#

npm start

The server starts on http://localhost:3000 (or the port set via PORT environment variable).

3. Access the UI#

Open http://localhost:3000 in your browser.

Local Wrangler Dev#

Run the Cloudflare Workers runtime locally — useful for testing before deploying to Pages.

npm install
npm run pages:dev

This starts a local dev server at http://localhost:3000 using the Wrangler runtime, which closely matches the Cloudflare Pages production environment.

PowerShell (No Deployment Needed)#

The PowerShell scripts run directly from the cloned repository — no server or deployment required.

git clone https://github.com/andrew-kemp/DNS-Migrator.git
cd DNS-Migrator

Then run Migrate-DNS.ps1 or Migrate-Batch.ps1 as described in the PowerShell CLI guide.
