Deployment to bare metal

[infomiho]

We should write a piece about deploying Wasp to bare metal and/or with Docker container + docker-compose.yml

Using Caprover (self-hosted PaaS)

Deploy script

#!/bin/bash

set -e
set -u
set -o pipefail

SERVER_APP=socialpostgpt-server
CLIENT_APP=socialpostgpt-client
CAPROVER_URL=https://captain.apps.twoducks.dev

IS_BUILDING=false
IS_DEPLOYING_SERVER=false
IS_DEPLOYING_CLIENT=true

if [ "$IS_BUILDING" = true ] ; then
  echo "Building server..."
  wasp build
fi
if [ ! -d ".wasp/build" ] ; then
  echo "Error: .wasp/build doesn't exist"
  exit 1
fi

cd .wasp
if [ "$IS_DEPLOYING_SERVER" = true ] ; then
  echo "Tar-ing server..."
  tar -czf server.tar.gz --exclude "node_modules" ./build/*
  echo "Deploying server..."
  caprover deploy -a $SERVER_APP -t ./server.tar.gz -u $CAPROVER_URL
  rm server.tar.gz
fi

if [ "$IS_DEPLOYING_CLIENT" = true ] ; then
  echo "Building client..."
  cd ./build/web-app
  REACT_APP_API_URL=https://$SERVER_APP.apps.twoducks.dev npm run build
  CLIENT_DOCKERFILE=$(cat <<EOF
FROM pierrezemb/gostatic
CMD [ "-fallback", "index.html", "-enable-logging"]
COPY ./build /srv/http
EOF
)
  echo "$CLIENT_DOCKERFILE" > ./Dockerfile
  echo "!build" > .dockerignore

  echo "Tar-ing client..."
  tar -czf ../../client.tar.gz --exclude "node_modules" ./*
  echo "Deploying client..."
  caprover deploy -a $CLIENT_APP -t ../../client.tar.gz -u $CAPROVER_URL
  rm ../../client.tar.gz
fi

docker-compose.yml

Writing a docker-compose.yml to run a built Wasp app should be pretty straightforward:

• PostgreSQL container
• server container (env variables set up properly)
• client container
• optional reverse-proxy in front (Nginx or Caddy)

Hey can you assign this to me ?

[Martinsos]

Hey @create-dan , sure go for it if you wish!
Maybe it would be good if you presented here your plan on how you would like to approach this?
