Deploying on Dokku

Deploying on Dokku is straightforward: you only need these steps:

On your dokku server (once per team; the dokku server is shared by the entire team):

  1. Create the app:

    dokku apps:create team03

  2. Enable HTTPS: https://ucsb-cs156.github.io/topics/dokku/enabling_https.html

  3. Enable Postgres: https://ucsb-cs156.github.io/topics/dokku/postgres_database.html

  4. Setup Google OAuth: https://ucsb-cs156.github.io/topics/oauth/oauth_google_setup.html

  5. Setup Environment Variables: https://ucsb-cs156.github.io/topics/dokku/environment_variables.html

  6. Sync with repo (substitute your own team name):

    dokku git:sync team03 https://github.com/ucsb-cs156-f23/team03-f23-6pm-4 main

    We always deploy the main branch only on the team03 deployment, which we consider our "production" deployment (or "prod"). When working in a team environment, it is typical to make sure that no code goes into the main branch except by a code reviewed pull request.

  7. Build app:

    dokku ps:rebuild team03

Any time you need to redeploy, you can do so by repeating steps 6 and 7.

Deploying a dev instance on Dokku

You can also create a private dev instance on Dokku where you can try out your changes. That allows you to deploy branches other than main and see what happens.

  1. Create the app: 
    dokku apps:create team03-yourName-dev
  2. Do steps (2) through (5) above.
  3. Sync with repo (substitute your own team name and branch name): 
    dokku git:sync https://github.com/ucsb-cs156-f23/team03-f23-6pm-4 team03-yourName your-branch-name
  4. Build app: 
    dokku ps:rebuild team03-yourName-dev

Any time you need to redeploy, you can do so by repeating steps 3 and 4.
