Changes

Updates and fixes the colouring-london doc for setting up the website on a server.

View rendered md

TODO:

Get application to run on test Azure VM with these instructions
Set up DB Backups CRON
Set up data extracts/maintenance CRON
Set up Set up SSL (see todos in doc)
~~[ ] Combine this doc with the dev doc to avoid duplication of sections~~ EC edit: I think there are enough differences to justify separate docs

@matkoniecz @tomalrussell I've continued from where we left off on Tuesday today, however I'm still unable to get the application to be visible at the IP address with either npm run start:prod (here in doc) or with pm2 start ecosystem.config.js here in doc, but neither way are any errors being thrown, so I'm unsure how to proceed. Do either of you have any ideas of what to try next?

As for the backups, maintenance & domain steps at the end of the doc I've just added placeholders for now. I notice that in ecosystem.config.dev-template.js we have extra env vars compared to what the doc says to include, e.g. MAIL_SERVER_HOST, but from looking at the config repo readme, I don't think I'll need these until I set up a server email, and a domain for the. WEBAPP_ORIGIN etc

matkoniecz · 2022-03-03T15:32:05Z

would try pm2 status pm2 logs sudo -u nodeapp pm2 status sudo -u nodeapp pm2 logs for start if not tried already (https://github.com/colouring-cities/colouring-london-config#deployment)

pm2 logs

Ok yes thanks this has found a problem, I think this must be the important line 4|colourin | Error: Cannot find module '/var/www/colouring-london/app/build/server.js'

tomalrussell · 2022-03-03T15:55:04Z

Have you built the app successfully (npm run build) and is server.js at the expected location?

edwardchalstrey1 · 2022-03-03T15:56:57Z

@tomalrussell yep it's there, and pm2 status shows the 6 instances specified in ecosystem.config.js as status online

Full readout of pm2 logs looks like this:

By the way, one thing I have changed since Tuesday is that I symlinked the whole CL repo, so /var/www/colouring-london points to ~/colouring-london, where the repo is cloned.

tomalrussell · 2022-03-03T16:23:13Z

symlinked the whole CL repo

I'd be surprised if this is causing problems, but would suggest that we end up not doing that, so we can build outside of the live directory, and minimise downtime on redeployment, moving the updated code into place and restarting. If what you have in place is helpful while testing, keep going.

Quick reading suggests the error might be linked to ESM module resolution changes - see https://stackoverflow.com/questions/65384754/error-err-module-not-found-cannot-find-module and Unitech/pm2#4540

Could try:

try cd to the build dir and start with node server.js and/or node --experimental-specifier-resolution=node server.js
suggested rename to ecosystem.config.cjs (with a c) and pm2 start ecosystem.config.cjs
add a NODE_OPTIONS='--experimental-specifier-resolution=node' environment variable
