This is part of a series of discussions regarding Deploying to a Digital Ocean Droplet. For more details, please see Overview of johnvincent.io website

Deploy to Droplet

Install HTML-Minifier

sudo npm install html-minifier -g

Before deployment

On Mac, remove quarantine from all files going to the website.

cd /Users/jv/Desktop/MyDevelopment

Look for files with com.apple.quarantine

xattr -r -l  github/website/gatsby-website | grep -i com.apple.quarantine
xattr -r -l  github/website/demosite | grep -i com.apple.quarantine

xattr -r -l  github/projects/music-player | grep -i com.apple.quarantine
xattr -r -l  github/projects/github-app | grep -i com.apple.quarantine

xattr -r -l  github/website/omnifood | grep -i com.apple.quarantine
xattr -r -l  github/website/internet-resources | grep -i com.apple.quarantine

xattr -r -l  github/website/rijksmuseum | grep -i com.apple.quarantine
xattr -r -l  github/website/peg-solitaire | grep -i com.apple.quarantine
xattr -r -l  github/repo-images | grep -i com.apple.quarantine

To remove quarantine:

xattr -r -d com.apple.quarantine github/website/gatsby-website
xattr -r -d com.apple.quarantine github/website/demosite

xattr -r -d com.apple.quarantine github/projects/music-player
xattr -r -d com.apple.quarantine github/projects/github-app

xattr -r -d com.apple.quarantine github/website/omnifood
xattr -r -d com.apple.quarantine github/website/internet-resources

xattr -r -d  github/website/rijksmuseum | grep -i com.apple.quarantine
xattr -r -d  github/website/peg-solitaire | grep -i com.apple.quarantine
xattr -r -d  github/repo-images | grep -i com.apple.quarantine

Create .env files

Create application .env files in

cd websites-config/websites-config/websites/save-env

Recommended to use:

• client.env for React applications
• server.env for Node applications

Copy your .env settings to these files.

Create Deployment Script

cd websites-config/websites-config/websites/bin

Create script deploy-apps

#!/bin/sh
#
#  script to get, build and deploy apps to nginx
#
# setup ssh to github
#
echo "setup ssh to github"
eval "$(ssh-agent)"
ssh-add -k ~/.ssh/id_github
#
cd
cd tmp

#
CLONES_DIR="/home/jv/clones"
DOCROOT_DIR="/var/www/johnvincent.io/html"
#
echo "Removing clones directory $CLONES_DIR"
rm -rf $CLONES_DIR
#
echo "Creating clones directory $CLONES_DIR"
mkdir $CLONES_DIR
cd $CLONES_DIR
#
echo "Forcing sudo access"
sudo chmod 0755 $DOCROOT_DIR
#
echo "Git clone desired repositories to $CLONES_DIR"
git clone git@github.com:johnvincentio/gatsby-website $CLONES_DIR/gatsby-website

#
# Build Gatsby app
#
echo "Make the Gatsby app"
cd $CLONES_DIR/gatsby-website
#
echo "Npm install the Gatsby app $CLONES_DIR/gatsby-website"
npm install
#
echo "Make Gatsby app production"
npm run build
#
echo "Minify $CLONES_DIR/gatsby-website/public/index.html"
cp public/index.html public/index.work
html-minifier public/index.work --remove-comments --output public/index.html
rm public/index.work

#
# Delete files in nginx docroot
#
echo "Delete files in Nginx Docroot"
rm -rf $DOCROOT_DIR/*
#
# Copy files to nginx docroot
#
echo "Copy files to Nginx Docroot"
cp -r /home/jv/clones/gatsby-website/public/*  $DOCROOT_DIR

#
# set permissions
#
echo "Setting permissions on $DOCROOT_DIR"
sudo chown -R jv:jv $DOCROOT_DIR
sudo chmod 0755 $DOCROOT_DIR
find $DOCROOT_DIR -type d -print0 | xargs -0 chmod 0755 # For directories
find $DOCROOT_DIR -type f -print0 | xargs -0 chmod 0644 # For files

echo "Restarting Nginx"
nginx-restart

#
echo "Completed"

Ensure

chmod 744 deploy-apps

Create Application Deployment Script

For each application, make a deployment script, for example

cd websites-config/websites-config/websites/bin

Create script deploy-rijksmuseum-apps

#!/bin/sh
#
#  script to get, build and deploy apps to nginx
#
# setup ssh to github
#
echo "setup ssh to github"
eval "$(ssh-agent)"
ssh-add -k ~/.ssh/id_github
#
cd
cd tmp
#
CLONES_DIR="/home/jv/clones"
DOCROOT_DIR="/var/www/rijksmuseum/html"
#
echo "Removing clones directory $CLONES_DIR"
rm -rf $CLONES_DIR
#
echo "Creating clones directory $CLONES_DIR"
mkdir $CLONES_DIR
cd $CLONES_DIR
#
echo "Git clone desired repositories to $CLONES_DIR"
git clone git@github.com:johnvincentio/rijksmuseum $CLONES_DIR/rijksmuseum
#
# Delete files in nginx docroot
#
echo "Delete files in Nginx Docroot"
rm -rf $DOCROOT_DIR/*
#
# Copy files to nginx docroot
#
echo "Copy files to Nginx Docroot"
cp -r /home/jv/clones/rijksmuseum/collection/* $DOCROOT_DIR
#
# set permissions
#
echo "Setting permissions on $DOCROOT_DIR"
sudo chown -R jv:jv $DOCROOT_DIR
sudo chmod 0755 $DOCROOT_DIR
find $DOCROOT_DIR -type d -print0 | xargs -0 chmod 0755 # For directories
find $DOCROOT_DIR -type f -print0 | xargs -0 chmod 0644 # For files

echo "Restarting Nginx"
nginx-restart

#
echo "Completed"

Ensure

chmod 744 deploy-rijksmuseum-apps

Create Nginx Restart Script

cd websites-config/websites-config/websites/bin

Create file nginx-restart

#!/bin/bash
#
# script to restart nginx
#
echo "Restarting Nginx"
sudo nginx -t
sudo systemctl restart nginx

Ensure

chmod 744 nginx-restart

Create Mongo Status Script

cd websites-config/websites-config/websites/bin

Create file 'mongo-status'

#!/bin/bash
#
# script to show mongo status
#
echo "Mongo Status"
sudo systemctl status mongodb

Ensure

chmod 744 mongo-status

Create First Deployment script

cd websites-config/websites-config/websites

Create file 'first-deploy'

#!/bin/sh
#
#  script to setup the user environment
#
# setup ssh to github
#
echo "setup ssh to github"
eval "$(ssh-agent)"
ssh-add -k ~/.ssh/id_github
#
CLONES_DIR="/home/jv/clones"
SITE_DIR=$CLONES_DIR/mac/websites-config/websites-config/websites
#
echo "Clean"
rm -rf bin clones cronjobs save-env tmp
#
echo "Make directories"
mkdir -p bin
mkdir -p clones
mkdir -p cronjobs
mkdir -p save-env
mkdir -p tmp
#

echo "Git clone repo_shell_scripts to $CLONES_DIR"
git clone git@github.com:<your id>/<your repo> $CLONES_DIR

#
echo "Copy .profile"
cp -r $SITE_DIR/.profile ~/.profile

#
echo "Copy README.md"
cp -r $SITE_DIR/README.md ~/README.md

#
echo "Copy .vimrc"
cp -r $SITE_DIR/.vimrc ~/.vimrc

#
echo "Copy bin directory"
cp -r $SITE_DIR/bin ~

#
echo "Copy save-env directory"
cp -r $SITE_DIR/save-env ~

echo "Delete $CLONES_DIR"
# rm -rf $CLONES_DIR

echo "Completed"

Ensure

chmod 744 first-deploy

Execute First Deployment

Copy first-deploy to the root of your droplet user.

Login to your droplet

ssh-to-website

and execute the script

./first-deploy

Perform Deployment

Login to your droplet

ssh-to-website

./deploy-omnifood-app

Other Tasks

There are usually other tasks that need to be performed.

PM2

May need to have PM2 start a task. If so, it will look like this

cd /var/www/myapp/html
pm2 start server.js
