Hello out there! Astro docs are explaining perfectly how to switch on SSR. But is there any way to switch it off easily? 🙂

#

Do you want to switch it off per page or remove SSR from the whole project?

#

If you want to prerender specific pages/endpoints you can use export const prerender = true; https://docs.astro.build/en/guides/server-side-rendering/#opting-out-of-server-rendering

Many thanks for your prompt response! I would like to disable completely if possible.

That is a bit more complicated because it depends on how your website is coded, for example if your using APIs/endpoints in your project you will not be able to when using SSG

#

But if your website is simple you can:

Uninstall your SSR adapter and remove from Astro config
Remove output option or turn it to static
Rewrite dynamic pages to use getStaticPaths()

It’s just an adjusted blog starter template so it is uncomplicated.
Is there a terminal command similarly to installation?

vital vector Jun 28, 2023, 2:26 PM

#

No there is no CLI for it

#

The function dies on blog posts only so I could also just deactivate for blog posts.

#

What do you mean?

#

Is it a dynamic route that is failing? You have to rewrite it to use getStaticPaths()

The site works fine. But when I click on my blog and then click on a post I am getting an HTTP 500 Error. The site is: thunderous-naiad-a200c4 and then the netlify domain part.

Did you turn it to SSG or is this still SSR?

vital vector What do you mean?

It is still SSR.

#

Not sure why it is happening, do you have a repo or some code I can look at?

This is the repo

#

It is the starter blog template deployed with Netlify and then slightly adjusted.

What's the reason you were using SSR in the first place?

#

If you don't have an use case for it, you can honestly just remove this line and the line below: https://github.com/lukasbelka/lbdev/blob/master/astro.config.mjs#L25

Well I wanted to use some svelte in some part of the site. That was the reason. However, I think that I can include it seperately on a subdomain as well to avoid any issues with that. 🙂

#

You can use Svelte with SSG too, you don't need SSR to use a UI framework like Svelte

ripe matrix Jun 28, 2023, 2:46 PM

#

Ok, that was not clear to me. So I can just delete the two lines as stated right?

vital vector Jun 28, 2023, 2:48 PM

#

Yes, and uninstall @astrojs/netlify

ripe matrix Jun 28, 2023, 2:52 PM

#

Ok, I will try it. And give feedback on that. Many thanks to both of you - you made my day! 👍🏻 My deployment is not at risk by @unistall/Netlify right?
