Deployment

Electron Release Server can be easily be deployed to your own server.

General Configuration:

Install dependencies using:

npm install

Action Step: You need to configure database (database setup guide) and must create a config/local.js file, which contains the configuration options required to run the server.

To assist this process, you can copy config/local.template and edit it using:

cp config/local.template config/local.js
vim config/local.js

Then start the application using:

npm start

Browse to https://localhost:1337/

Using Nginx

If you want to use nginx as web-server:

server {
    listen       80;
    server_name  download.yourdomain.com;

    location / {
        proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
        proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
        proxy_set_header X-Nginx-Proxy true;

        proxy_pass https://127.0.0.1:1337/;
        proxy_redirect off;
        proxy_http_version 1.1;
        proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
        proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade";
    }

    error_page   500 502 503 504  /50x.html;
    location = /50x.html {
        root   /usr/share/nginx/html;
    }
}
