HOWTO_MINIMALIST_DEPLOY.md

Deploying Minimally

There are several ways to deploy. This is the 'most minimal' approach:

1. Run OUTPUT_DIR=./build yarn run prod-build-server This will generate something you can deploy to production in ./build and run nodejs server/server/index.js
2. Run yarn run prod-build-client
3. Make a copy of deploy/spoke-pm2.config.js.template, e.g. spoke-pm2.config.js, add missing environment variables, and run it with pm2, e.g. pm2 start spoke-pm2.config.js --env production
4. Install PostgreSQL
5. Start PostgreSQL (e.g. sudo /etc/init.d/postgresql start), connect (e.g. sudo -u postgres psql), create a user and database (e.g. create user spoke password 'spoke'; create database spoke owner spoke;), disconnect (e.g. \q) and add credentials to DB_ variables in spoke-pm2.config.js
