This guide will help you setup a docker swarm environment for running the HackTheArch platform. Note that this compose file does not include a reverse proxy, and to simplify things, does not provide TLS/SSL. We highly suggest you deploy HackTheArch with TLS! Using a reverse proxy can do this for you. Something like nginx, or Caddy will work just fine.
Moving on, to make sure the environment is setup for your deployment, copy
.env_sample to .env and set desired variables in it (most importantly
SECRET_KEY_BASE, you can run: bundle exec rails secret to get a sufficient
key, but a long random string is just fine).
Finally, from the root directory:
- Deploy the stack
docker stack deploy -c prod-stack.yml hackthearch
- Build the database (find the node that's hosting the hta service), then against the container on that node:
docker exec -it web /bin/sh
rails db:migrate
rails db:seed
rails assets:precompile
HackTheArch should now be browsable on port 3000 on any node in your swarm!
