Deployment

Digital Ocean

Wicit is ready to be deployed on Digital Ocean using Dokku (wicit doesn't use a database right now, so you don't have to worry about that part). Just be sure to use dokku config:set <appname> VAR=value to add the settings present in your local .env file to your deployment environment.
