Site maintenance

Refreshing TLS certificates manually

This should be performed by a cron job, but in the event of needing to do it manually, run python3 deploy_tool.py <SITE_NAME> renew_certs

Arbitrary docker compose commands

The docker-compose.yaml configuration requires a number of environment variables to be set before it can be used. To avoid the need to set these variables yourself (apart from WG_DB_PASSWORD and RW_ROOT_DB_PASSWORD), use python3 deploy_tool.py <SITE_NAME> dc "<YOUR COMMAND>". For instance, python3 deploy_tool.py dev dc "up -d".

Updating webserver

To deploy changes to the webserver Dockerfile: python3 deploy_tool.py redeploy webserver

OR, manually:

  1. Build the Dockerfile (docker image build -t ropewiki/webserver . from the root of this repo)
  2. Kill and remove the webserver (python3 deploy_tool.py <SITE_NAME> dc "rm -f -s -v ropewiki_webserver")
  3. Restore the full deployment (python3 deploy_tool.py <SITE_NAME> start_site)
