Deploying Shard
There are good docs covering some core deployment issues at: https://hexdocs.pm/phoenix/deployment.html
Deployment checklist:
- Debian or Ubuntu VPS with sufficient RAM and swap.
- DNS hostname pointed to server.
- System user account for app.
- Build deps installed on build machine.
- Simplest: Build machine is target machine.
- That means asdf, erlang, elixir, nodejs.
- Figure out env variables:
- Port
- Secrets
- Build / deploy script.
- Systemd service file.
- Nginx config file.
Continuous Deployment
When tests pass, we’d like to auto-deploy.
How can we do that with like 10 servers run by different people?
