Deployment

Host your own cinema server and watch together with friends remotely! Recommended setup is server hosting on Heroku and file hosting on ownCloud.

• Upload your video files to ownCloud and generate sharable links
• Change video file keys within your config file to shared hash keys (Note: currently only ownCloud hosting supported)
• Set remote_url key in config file to your ownCloud domain
• Upload your config file somewhere online (e.g. ownCloud or Dropbox)
• Deploy your server code. Heroku is recommended :) Just connect a new app with your GitHub repo and Heroku takes care of the rest ;)
• Set environment variables on your server application in Heroku:
  • set env CONFIG_FILE to <url-to-config-file>
  • set env RACK_ENV to production
• Have fun!
