Getting Started
Amelia runs on Google App Engine. You must set up the App Engine Go SDK as documented here.
Configuration
You must create a secrets.go
file that contains configuration for Amelia in
the home directory. Here's the contents of an example file:
package amelia
const (
clientId = "moves_client_id"
clientSecret = "moves_client_secret"
twilioSid = "twilio_sid"
twilioAuthToken = "twilio_auth_token"
twilioPhone = "twilio_phone_number (with country code) ex. +15554443333"
tomtomKey = "tomtom_geocoding_api_key"
)
Development
Run the application in development mode with:
$ goapp serve
Deployment
Before deploying, you must make the following adjustments:
- Change the app's name in
app.yaml
to the name of your application on App Engine. - Make sure you have the
RedirectURL
inmoves.go
set to your app's URL. secrets.go
must be created with valid values.
Once you've made those changes, just run the following while in the root of your local repository:
$ goapp deploy
If you have two-factor authentication configured on your account, you'll want to authenticate with OAuth:
$ goapp deploy -oauth
