Staging deployment

staging build is used to test production build of AirLab in environment similar to production environment, but it runs on a separate test server. The difference is another domain name address.

Unlike production deployment, staging deployment doesn't require pre-build Docker images as it will build them during deployment process.

Prerequisite

Make sure that the following tools installed globally on your machine:

• Git
• GNU Make
• Docker
• Docker Compose

Installation

Clone the histoCAT repo

git clone https://github.com/BodenmillerGroup/histocat-web.git

Later on you can update the repo by running:

git pull

Rename .env.template file in the root repo folder to .env and set all environment variables values accordingly to staging configuration. Usually, it should be done only once as .env file is ignored by Git and won't be overwritten by git pull command.

Warning

Please check that env variable DOMAIN is properly set in .env file on staging server before deployment!

Build and deploy Docker containers on the staging server:

make deploy-staging
