Development

• Starting up the server:
  1. Go to the docker/dev directory
  2. If you're doing initialization, execute first: docker-compose run --entrypoint "/bin/sh -c 'python manage.py migrate && python manage.py createsuperuser'" django
  3. Then this (for testing purposes): docker-compose run --entrypoint "python manage.py loaddata fixtures/barcino.json" django
  4. Run it in isolated Docker environment using: docker-compose up (add -d parameter if you want to run it in the background)

Production

You would need some Debian/Ubuntu distribution for the following:

1. Install Git:

   sudo apt-get update
   sudo apt-get install git

2. Generate SSH Key:

   ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -C "your_email@example.com"

   Email must be the one used for your GitHub account.

3. You need to copy the SSH public key that you just generated to your GitHub account. Display the key with the following command, then copy the output:

   cat ~/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub

4. In your GitHub account, go to Settings -> SSH and GPG keys -> New SSH Key. Paste the copied public key into the Key field and add a title. Click Add SSH key.

5. Open the SSH configuration file in your favorite text editor:

   nano ~/.ssh/config

   Add the following lines:

   Host github.com
       IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_ed25519
       IdentitiesOnly yes

   Save and close the file.

6. To start the ssh-agent in the background, run:

   eval "$(ssh-agent -s)"

7. Then, add your SSH private key to the ssh-agent:

   ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_ed25519

   Now your host is ready for GitHub Actions. Next, clone this repository:

   git clone git@github.com:softzer0/chatbot.git

8. You can proceed to execute docker/dev/prod/setup.sh and it will install and setup Nginx with running project in Docker.

9. And to finally make GitHub Action from this repository work, go to the settings for the repository, then to Secrets and variables -> Actions, and set these as secrets:

   • HOST - IP of your host
   • USER - username which GitHub Action should use when accessing the host
   • SSH_PRIVATE_KEY - this needs to contain the content of your SSH private key (~/.ssh/id_ed25519)

   Also, set TARGET_DIR in variables which represents the full path on the host to the cloned repository.
