Deployment

Important

When running any make command make sure CONTEXT environment variable is set to production

In the project directory, run this command:

CONTEXT=production make

At this point, your server will start serving requests via https port (443). You should see a 'server error' page when you navigate to your website.

To complete the installation, you need to run a initialization script:

CONTEXT=production make setup

After running this command, you should be able to navigate through your website without any issues. At this point, you should create an administrator account to log in and manage your website:

CONTEXT=production make run createsuperuser
