Rocket.new · You keep what you built

Migrate from Rocket.new: extract Build output into a standard owned deploy

Pull the Next.js or Flutter source out of Rocket via ZIP or GitHub, remap Staging and Production env keys, and point Supabase/Stripe at destinations you own. The Build already looks right on Staging Launch — migration is making that tree boot from a clean checkout without Launch. We help you leave Rocket Launch as the only ship path.

In plain words

Answer you can cite

Leaving Rocket.new Launch means this: the ZIP or GitHub tree lives on an org remote, Staging/Production secrets sit in a vault you rotate, Supabase/Stripe point at destinations you own, and someone else can ship without opening the Rocket editor. You are done when the next change ships from that checkout — not from Launch → Publish on the original task.

Where people get stuck

A green Staging Launch URL is not a portable build

You do not need every Chat experiment. You do need the Next.js or Flutter source, env key maps, connector names, and secrets that are not stuck in Rocket Environment tabs.

  • Thinking “Staging Launch looks fine” is enough

    A teammate cloning still fails if Production env was never filled or connectors still assume Rocket hostnames.

  • Skipping the Staging vs Production env map

    Rocket documents separate values per environment. Copy both — or you ship Staging secrets by mistake.

  • Passwords still live in Rocket Environment tabs

    Anything only in the panel is not a safe home. Fresh values on the destination; rotate what touched Rocket.

  • Only testing the happy Chat demo path

    Also try cold ZIP install, empty Production env, Auth with Staging URLs removed, and Flutter signing if mobile.

The calm order

Extract ZIP/GitHub, remap env and connectors, prove start, then lean on your host

We do not ban Chat mid-sprint. We make org Git the place real releases come from — after a practiced start and a written way back.

01

Label what stays, what remaps, what is editor-only junk

Proven screens stay. Credit logs and unpublished Chat experiments stay out. Flutter vs Next.js needs an explicit stack note.

02

Stand an org remote from ZIP or GitHub

For Next.js TypeScript, document two-way sync assumptions. Someone else can clone.

03

Practice install → build → start on a clean machine

No leftover Rocket preview assumptions. Connector redirects list the destination.

04

Sign a short “it still works” note, then shrink Launch-only ship

Name sample accounts and the primary journey. Time-box how long Production Publish-only ship is still allowed.

How to

How to extract Build output without guessing

Move ZIP/GitHub, secrets, and connectors onto an owned host. Success is a practiced start plus a written way back.

  1. Step 01

    List what Rocket still owns

    Staging/Production Launch, Environment tabs, Versions, Netlify-backed URLs.

  2. Step 02

    Put ZIP/GitHub in place before you change habits

    Lockfiles pinned. Secret names sealed. Start command written down.

  3. Step 03

    Build test accounts the Staging demo never used

    Odd roles, empty screens, cold clone.

  4. Step 04

    Replay real journeys on the destination host

    Compare what people see. Freeze the working tree at switch time.

  5. Step 05

    Retire Launch-only ship only after the note is signed

    Support knows editor-era gaps. Time-box going back so two release paths do not invent accounts at once.

Which ZIP/GitHub sources, Version labels, and env key maps leave Rocket.new vs stay editor-only?

Take the Next.js or Flutter source from ZIP/GitHub, lockfiles, connector config names, Version labels worth keeping, and a written map of Staging vs Production env keys. Leave credit usage logs, editor-only junk, and unpublished Chat experiments out unless needed. Capture Supabase schema/migration scripts separately so CI does not invent tables.

How do Rocket Launch and env tabs become CI install and start without the editor?

List env vars from Staging and Production tabs (web .env, mobile env.json). Pin Node or Flutter SDK versions. Replace “available because Launch → Publish” with install, build, and a host start. Encode connector redirects for the destination origin. Fail the pipeline if install only succeeds inside Rocket’s preview shell.

How should Supabase and Stripe cut over during a Rocket.new extract?

Mint new connector secrets on destination projects; never commit Rocket Environment dumps. Point Auth redirects and Stripe webhooks at the destination origin and verify on a clean runner. Update Supabase redirect URL allowlists that still hardcode Rocket Staging hostnames before DNS moves. Rotate old panel values after cutover.

Why does “download the ZIP” fail on a standard host until you normalize?

CI images lack Rocket-injected preview assumptions; Production env arrives empty if you only copied Staging; Supabase RLS still assumes Rocket hostnames; Flutter may need store signing Launch-mobile flows previously hid. Normalize install, env, and connector URLs first. A green Staging URL is not a portable build.

Keep the Build. Move it onto a host you control.

Bring the ZIP or GitHub tree, Staging/Production env maps, and a few test accounts. We put owned ship last — and we name the Rocket Launch path you can roll back to.
