1. meteor build ../mentors_out/
2. cd ../mentors_out/
3. scp mentors.tar.gz user@hackupc.com:mentors/
4. SSH into server as user and execute: mentors/start_docker.sh

start_docker.sh

#!/bin/sh
echo "Killing previous container..."
docker kill $(docker ps -a | grep "ulexus/meteor" | cut -f1 -d" ")
echo "Removing exited containers..."
docker rm -v $(docker ps -a -q -f status=exited)
echo "Starting server..."
docker run -d -p 8007:8007 -e PORT="8007" -e ROOT_URL=https://mentors.hackupc.com   -e BUNDLE_FILE=/home/meteor/build.tar.gz   -v /home/user/mentors/mentors.tar.gz:/home/meteor/build.tar.gz   -e MONGO_URL=mongodb://your_mongo_url/mentors-hackupc  ulexus/meteor
