A note for using this repo as a template

This project is highly modularized s.t., ideally, you only need to change the contents under app/views.

Most of the contents are stored in .yml files and long paragraphs are stored in .ejs files.

Instruction for Deployment

Just as reference, I deployed this website in 3 manners to achieve auto-deployment.

Docker Compose

I provide a Makefile to install the docker container.

➜ make help
Available rules:

clean               rm -fr node_modules
down                docker-compose down
install             npm install
start               docker-compose up
stop                docker-compose stop

For a pure server, run the following command:

make start

which is equivalent to

docker-compose up -d --build

For sure, it's not auto-deployment, but it's a system independent solution to deploy websites on servers.

Heroku

I use GitHub Actions to push any changes made in main branch to Heroku. Check Deploy to Heroku and deploy_heroku.yml

AWS Elastic Beanstalk

AWS CodePipeline performs the auto-deployment very well. I used to deploy it on AWS EB but stopped it due to the cost.

Template

The template could be downloaded at Unfold - Colorlab.
