Automated Deployment to a Hosted/Cloud Server

Requirements

• You need:
  • A host machine with Ruby and Git installed
  • A target server where you want RapidFTR to be installed (this can be a fresh machine with nothing installed)
  • URL of the target server, i.e. the URL used to access the server from a browser (e.g. dev.rapidftr.com)

Supported Systems

• Ubuntu 14.04 64 bit tested and recommended
• Or any system that can run Docker. Check this compatibility list

Deployment

• All commands to be run in the Host machine only. Do not do anything on the target machine directly.

• Clone the rapidftr-infrastructure repository, and checkout to the release that you want

    git clone https://github.com/rapidftr/rapidftr-infrastructure.git
    git checkout v1.2.1 # whichever version you want, or skip this to use master
    bundle install
    bundle exec knife solo bootstrap <username>@<target-server>
    # enter password to the target server when asked
  

• Your server is up and running. Go to https://<target-server> to check the results.

• To change the SSL certificates, or to do backups, check Maintenance
