Summary

Update the deployment documentation with easier to understand terms and examples. Also, provide a more secure way to deploy Firefox Send.

Additional Notes

  • While the deployment doc was enough to deploy Firefox Send on Debian/Ubuntu with Apache, it lake critical information that made me scratch my head several minutes before finally figuring it out. I used information from Please, please provide *decent* installation instructions #1356 and Can't build on Debian with Node v.11.11.0 #1221 .
  • I also rewrote it using a slightly more secure way of launching the running script, without giving shell access to www-data.
  • Lastly, I added a section about TLS certificate. While not directly related to Firefox Send, it's probably something a lot of people want to do, and something we should recommend as much as possible.
