# hosting_startNode_jsBuildV1

Start a Node.js build process using files already present on the website's file storage. WARNING: on success this overwrites the website's existing contents and cannot be undone — verify this is intended before calling this endpoint. The source_type must be archive and source_options.archive_path must point to an existing archive file on the server (relative to the website document root). Use the Generate Upload URL endpoint to obtain credentials and upload the archive first. To auto-detect build settings from an archive before starting, first call the Get Node.js Build Settings from Archive endpoint. The returned build uuid can be used to poll progress and retrieve logs via the Get Node.js Build Logs endpoint.
