# Replit (Reserved VM / Autoscale)

static shell

Use the canonical server/ + dist/ layout. Free tier sleeps the runtime — use Reserved VM or Autoscale for an always-on listener.

**Start here first.** Every platform recipe below assumes the canonical Express + Docker install at [/install/express-docker](/install/express-docker). The snippets on this page are the platform-specific deltas on top of that baseline.

Use the canonical `server/` + `dist/` layout. Replit's free tier sleeps the runtime; for an always-on listener use **Reserved VM** or **Autoscale** deployments.

.replitcopy

```
# .replit
run = "node agentsite/server.mjs"
modules = ["nodejs-20"]

[deployment]
deploymentTarget = "vm"     # Reserved VM — Autoscale also works
run               = ["node", "agentsite/server.mjs"]

[env]
DIST_DIR        = "/home/runner/${REPL_SLUG}/dist"
AGENTSITE_SITE  = "https://yoursite.com"
PORT            = "3000"

# Then add AGENTSITE_TOKEN in the Secrets pane (NOT in this file).
```

**Token in the Secrets pane, not `.replit`.**`.replit` is committed to the repo; the Secrets pane is encrypted per-Repl and exposed as env to the runtime.
