Deployment

Before you start the deployment you have to do preparations.

Deployment Preparations

Since all deployment methods described here depend on Docker and DockerHub, you need to create your own organisation on DockerHub and put its name in the package.json file as your dockerOrganisation.
Read more details in the main README under Usage.

Deployment Methods

You have the following options for a deployment:

Kubernetes with Helm

After Deployment

After the first deployment of the new network on your server, the database is initialized with the default administrator:

E-mail: admin@example.org
Password: 1234

ATTENTION: When you are logged in for the first time, please change your (the admin's) e-mail to an existing one and change your password to a secure one !!!

Using the Scripts

To use most of the scripts you have to set the variable CONFIGURATION in your terminal by entering:

# in deployment folder

# set configuration name to folder name in 'configurations' folder (network name)
$ export CONFIGURATION=`<your-configuration-name>`
# to check this
$ echo $CONFIGURATION

Secrets Encrypt/Decrypt

To encrypt and decrypt the secrets of your network in your terminal set a correct password in a (new) file configurations/<your-configuration-name>/SECRET. If done please enter:

# in deployment folder

# encrypt secrets
$ scripts/secrets.encrypt.sh

# decrypt secrets
$ scripts/secrets.decrypt.sh

Maintenance Mode On/Off

Activate or deactivate maintenance mode in your terminal:

# in deployment folder

# activate maintenance mode
$ scripts/cluster.maintenance.sh on

# deactivate maintenance mode
$ scripts/cluster.maintenance.sh off

Backup Scripts

Save backups.

Single Backup

To save a local backup of the database and uploaded images:

# in deployment folder

# save backup
$ scripts/cluster.backup.sh

The backup will be saved into your network folders backup folder in a new folder with the date and time.

Multiple Networks Backup

In order to save several network backups locally, you must define the configuration names of all networks in .env. The template for this is deployment/.env.dist:

# in the deployment folders '.env' set as example
BACKUP_CONFIGURATIONS="stage.ocelot.social stage.wir.social"
BACKUP_SAVED_BACKUPS_NUMBER=7

If BACKUP_SAVED_BACKUPS_NUMBER <= 0 then no backups will be deleted.

To actually save all the backups run:

# in deployment folder

# save all backups listed in 'BACKUP_CONFIGURATIONS'
# delete all backups older then the 'BACKUP_SAVED_BACKUPS_NUMBER' newest ones
$ scripts/clusters.cron-backups.sh

The backups will be saved into your networks folders backup folder in a new folder with the date and time.
