Overview

Uploading a build in Solsta makes a release available for download through the Solsta Desktop Application. A build upload converts local files into deployable release data and assigns it to a repository within an environment.

Builds can be uploaded through the Solsta Desktop App or automatically through your CI/CD pipeline using Solsta integrations or deployment executables.

‍

Before You Begin

• Ensure your Product, Environment, and Repository already exist.
• Confirm your credentials (Client ID and Secret) or sign in with an Admin account.
• Verify the environment has the correct deployment location (bucket or CDN).

‍

Uploading from Solsta Desktop

1. Log into the Solsta Desktop Application.
2. Select a product and environment.
3. Click Create Release.
4. Choose the repository to upload into.
5. Browse to your build folder or drag and drop files.
6. Add a release version name and optional notes or URL.
7. Click Upload.

Solsta converts the files and uploads them to your configured storage location.

‍

Uploading via CI/CD

Use the Solsta Deploy step or executable in your pipeline (TeamCity, Jenkins, GitHub, or GitLab).
Define:

• Product, Environment, Repository
• Working directory or build path
• Version and optional release notes URL

The deployment tools automatically package, upload, and assign the release.

‍

After Upload

Once uploaded:

• The new release appears under the repository’s Releases tab.
• Users can update or install it from the Solsta Desktop App.
• The environment’s history records a new snapshot.
