## (Optional) Configure the Admin
|
||||
|
||||
If you're using the Medusa Admin plugin, you have two options to deploy it: either with the backend or separately.
|
||||
|
||||
### Deploying with the Backend
|
||||
|
||||
To deploy the admin with the backend:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Your chosen plan must offer at least 2GB of RAM.
|
||||
2. Enable the [autoRebuild option](../../admin/configuration.mdx#plugin-options) of the admin plugin:
|
||||
|
||||
```js title="medusa-config.js"
|
||||
const plugins = [
|
||||
// ...
|
||||
{
|
||||
resolve: "@medusajs/admin",
|
||||
/** @type {import('@medusajs/admin').PluginOptions} */
|
||||
options: {
|
||||
autoRebuild: true,
|
||||
// other options...
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
]
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Alternatively, you can use a GitHub action to build the admin as explained [here](../index.mdx#deploy-admin-through-github-action).
|
||||
|
||||
### Deploying Separately
|
||||
|
||||
If you choose to deploy the admin separately, disable the admin plugin's [serve option](../../admin/configuration.mdx#plugin-options):
|
||||
|
||||
```js title="medusa-config.js"
|
||||
const plugins = [
|
||||
// ...
|
||||
{
|
||||
resolve: "@medusajs/admin",
|
||||
/** @type {import('@medusajs/admin').PluginOptions} */
|
||||
options: {
|
||||
// only enable `serve` in development
|
||||
// you may need to add the NODE_ENV variable
|
||||
// manually
|
||||
serve: process.env.NODE_ENV === "development",
|
||||
// other options...
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
]
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This ensures that the admin isn't built or served in production. You can also change `@medusajs/admin` dependency to be a dev dependency in `package.json`.
|
||||
|
||||
You can alternatively remove the admin plugin for the plugins array.
|

## (Optional) Use Production Modules

If you're using development modules, such as the Local Event Bus or the In-Memory Cache Modules, it's highly recommended to use a production module instead.

### Testing the Admin
|

|

:::note
|
||||
|
||||
Make sure to either set the `autoRebuild` option of the admin plugin to `true` or add its [build](../../admin/configuration.mdx#build-command-options) command as part of the start command of your backend.
