### Production
For a manual self-hosted production installation these are the suggested steps:
For a manual self-hosted production installation these are the recommended steps:
1. Clone this repo and install dependencies with `yarn install`
1. Build the source code with `yarn build`
1. Using the `.env.sample` as a reference, set the required variables in your production environment. The following are required as a minimum:
1. `SECRET_KEY` (follow instructions in the comments at the top of `.env`)
1. `SLACK_KEY` (this is called "Client ID" in Slack admin)
1. `SLACK_SECRET` (this is called "Client Secret" in Slack admin)
1. `DATABASE_URL` (run your own local copy of Postgres, or use a cloud service)
1. `REDIS_URL` (run your own local copy of Redis, or use a cloud service)
1. `URL` (the public facing URL of your installation)
1. `AWS_` (all of the keys beginning with AWS)
1. Migrate database schema with `yarn sequelize:migrate`. Production assumes an SSL connection, if
Postgres is on the same machine and is not SSL you can migrate with `yarn sequelize:migrate --env=production-ssl-disabled`.
1. Start the service with any daemon tools you prefer. Take PM2 for example, `NODE_ENV=production pm2 start ./build/server/index.js --name outline `
1. First setup Redis and Postgres servers, this is outside the scope of the guide.
1. Download the latest official Docker image, new releases are available around the middle of every month:
`docker pull outlinewiki/outline`
1. Using the [.env.sample](.env.sample) as a reference, set the required variables in your production environment. You can export the environment variables directly, or create a `.env` file and pass it to the docker image like so:
`docker run --env-file=.env outlinewiki/outline`
1. Setup the database with `yarn sequelize:migrate`. Production assumes an SSL connection to the database by default, if
Postgres is on the same machine and is not SSL you can migrate with `yarn sequelize:migrate --env=production-ssl-disabled`, for example:
`docker run --rm outlinewiki/outline yarn sequelize:migrate`
1. Start the container:
`docker run outlinewiki/outline`
1. Visit http://you_server_ip:3000 and you should be able to see Outline page
> Port number can be changed using the `PORT` environment variable
1. (Optional) You can add an `nginx` reverse proxy to serve your instance of Outline for a clean URL without the port number, support SSL, etc.
