How to set up a Production environment

We got QPixel to work on localhost but we are struggling to get it working "online". Could someone point us in the right direction? What steps are necessary to get QPixel running on an external IP address and/or domain?

Assuming you've followed the steps in the guide to setting up development, changing that to a production environment is relatively easy.

  • Check your production configuration file (config/environments/production.rb) and make sure that it works for you. I can't tell you what's right here - it depends on your setup. The file is documented, so run through each option and make sure it's set to what you need.
  • Make sure you've run rails assets:precompile before booting your server, and make sure it's part of your deploy process.
  • Check your communities table. The community that you want to serve from a public web address will need it's host field updated - if you're serving from test.example.com:3000 then that's what the communities.host value should be.[1]

  1. If you try to access your community and get the error saying "No Community record found for Host="test.example.com", you've set the field wrong - it should be exactly what that Host= value is. ↩︎

I've added a much more detailed server set up guide for setting up self-hosted instances aimed at system administrators. You can find it on the codidact wiki at https://github.com/codidact/qpixel/wiki/Setting-up-a-Self-Hosted-Instance

So in other words, the installation step Community.create(name: 'Dev Community', host: 'localhost:3000') should be:

Community.create(name: 'Dev Community', host: 'qpixel.domain.com')

Or not?
