Production & Deployment

There are multiple ways of deploying this application, please go through the following steps.

1. Set up the loklak_server with the required settings to render via the settings api.
2. Clone the stable tip git clone https://github.com/loklak/loklak_webclient
3. cd loklak_webclient
4. Set up all the required dependencies using npm install in iframely , oauth-proxy and loklak_webclient folders.
5. gulp prod

That should get your basic application successfully setup and ready for deployment.

Using screen sessions

1. screen -S iframely
2. In the screen service do cd iframely, node server.js
3. cd ..
4. Detach from screen ^A^D
5. screen -S production
6. node oauth-proxy/index.js or gulp live
7. Detach from screen ^A^D

If you have your own web server engine, you can use the build/ created by gulp prod to serve the created file statically but then make sure that the oauth proxy is running the service at the oauthProxyPort

When there is a need to change default port oauthProxyUrl, oauthProxyRedirectUrl, oauthProxyPort should have the same port. The port to the application can be change at gulpDevExpressPort
