Website Deployment

O International Website Deployment Guide

Quick Start

1. Run the deployment script for the first time (it will create a configuration file):

   ./deploy_website.sh

2. Edit the configuration file .hostinger_config with your Hostinger credentials:

   nano .hostinger_config

3. Run the deployment script again:

   ./deploy_website.sh

Getting Your Hostinger Credentials

1. Log in to your Hostinger hPanel
2. Go to Files → FTP Accounts
3. Find your FTP account details:
   • FTP Host (e.g., ftp.yourdomain.com or IP address)
   • FTP Username
   • FTP Password

Configuration Options

Edit .hostinger_config with your settings:

# Connection method: ftp, sftp, or ssh
DEPLOY_METHOD="sftp"  # Recommended: more secure than ftp

# Hostinger server details
HOSTINGER_HOST="ftp.yourdomain.com"  # Your FTP hostname
HOSTINGER_USER="your_ftp_username"
HOSTINGER_PASS="your_ftp_password"

# Remote directory (usually public_html for main domain)
REMOTE_DIR="/public_html"

# Domain name (for display purposes)
DOMAIN="o.international"

Deployment Methods

SFTP (Recommended)

• Most secure
• Uses SSH encryption
• Requires rsync or sftp tool

FTP

• Faster but less secure
• Requires lftp tool

SSH

• Direct SSH/SCP upload
• Most flexible
• Requires SSH access enabled

What Gets Deployed

The script deploys:

• o_website_prototype.html → index.html (main website)
• dist/ folder → dist/ (logos and images)

Troubleshooting

"Connection refused" or "Permission denied"

• Check your FTP credentials in Hostinger hPanel
• Ensure FTP/SFTP access is enabled for your account
• Verify the remote directory path (/public_html is typical)

"Command not found" (lftp, rsync, sshpass)

• macOS: Install via Homebrew: brew install lftp rsync sshpass
• Linux: Install via package manager:
  • Ubuntu/Debian: sudo apt-get install lftp rsync sshpass
  • CentOS/RHEL: sudo yum install lftp rsync sshpass

Files not appearing on website

• Clear your browser cache
• Check file permissions on Hostinger (should be 644 for files, 755 for directories)
• Verify the remote directory path is correct

Manual Deployment Alternative

If you prefer to upload manually:

1. Log in to Hostinger File Manager (hPanel → Files → File Manager)
2. Navigate to public_html/
3. Upload o_website_prototype.html and rename it to index.html
4. Upload the entire dist/ folder

Security Note

⚠️ Important: Add .hostinger_config to your .gitignore to avoid committing credentials:

echo ".hostinger_config" >> .gitignore
