Docker

Electron Release Server has a Dockerfile and a docker-compose.ymlfile. So, you can use docker and docker-compose.

Requirements

Install docker and docker-compose.

Localserver

$ docker-compose up -d
$ # open localhost:5000 in browser

If you use docker-machine you should change APP_URL at docker-compose.yml to address to your docker-machine.

Configurations

To run the single container provide the next environment variables:

  • APP_USERNAME, APP_PASSWORD – static username and password for authentication ref.
  • DB_HOST – hostname of postgres
  • DB_PORT – port of postgres
  • DB_USERNAME, DB_PASSWORD – credentials to access postgres
  • DB_NAME – Database name
  • TOKEN_SECRET – Recommended: 63 random alpha-numeric characters
  • APP_URL - base url for the app - ref

To use production.js set NODE_ENV to "production" – so you should not set the environment variables: APP_USERNAME, APP_PASSWORD, DB_HOST, DB_PORT, DB_USERNAME, DB_PASSWORD, DB_NAME, TOKEN_SECRET.

Warning: You can insert the TOKEN_SECRET, APP_PASSWORD, DB_PASSWORD directly into the docker-compose.yml, but keep your secrets and private information in private. The production secrets must not be committed publicly!

How to run

Firstly you should start with development setting to run database migration.

After it you should always run in production mode – set NODE_ENV to "production".
