when running vercel
?PS I have checked project settings Security and it should've asked for vercel authentication PPS. Even with another setting it has built for production:
vercel --target=preview
Vercel CLI 37.1.2
🔍 Inspect: https://vercel.com/io----s-projects/encode-bootcamp-lesson-06a/Gztp6uddVq455ytKQcuGxdPBDqvc [1s]
✅ Production: https://encode-bootcamp-lesson-06a-gb8wkcv72-ion----s-projects.vercel.app [1s]
📝 Deployed to production. Run `vercel --prod` to overwrite later (https://vercel.link/2F).
💡 To change the domain or build command, go to https://vercel.com/io----s-projects/encode-bootcamp-lesson-06a/settings
When you deploy a project to Vercel using the vercel
command, by default, it deploys the code to the Production environment and makes it publicly accessible via a generated Vercel domain (e.g., https://your-project-name.vercel.app
). This is the standard behavior for Vercel when deploying a project unless you specify otherwise.
Vercel's Default Behavior: When you run the vercel
command without additional flags, Vercel assumes you want to deploy the latest version of your code to the Production environment. This deployment is public by default.
No Environment Specification: Since you didn't specify a particular environment (like Preview or Development), Vercel deploys to Production by default.
Public URL: Vercel provides a public URL for the deployed project, which is accessible by anyone who knows the URL.
If you wish to deploy your project to a non-production environment (like Preview or Development), you can specify that when running the vercel
command:
vercel --prod # Deploys to Production (default behavior)
vercel --target=preview # Deploys to the Preview Environment
vercel --target=development # Deploys to the Development Environment
If you want to prevent your project from being publicly accessible:
Private Repositories: If you deploy from a private Git repository, the project on Vercel will still be public by default. However, you can restrict access using Vercel's security features.
Password Protection: You can set up password protection for your project using Vercel's environment variables, custom domains, and Vercel's built-in password protection feature.
Environment Variables: Ensure sensitive data like API keys are stored in environment variables (as you did with OPENAI_API_KEY
). These won't be exposed in the public URL.
Use Environment Variables Correctly: Make sure all sensitive information is stored in environment variables and not hard-coded in your codebase.
Password Protect the Site:
Custom Domains and DNS: You can set up a custom domain and configure DNS records to control access more granularly.
Access Controls: Use Vercel's access control features to limit who can view or deploy the project.
vercel --target=preview
This command will deploy your project to the Preview environment, which is useful for testing purposes before deploying to Production.
By understanding Vercel's default behavior and utilizing environment-specific deployments, you can better control when and how your project becomes publicly accessible. If you need to restrict access, consider using password protection or other security features offered by Vercel.
