A short tutorial on how to deploy

Auto-reviewers: @NiharikaRay @matthewwardrop @earthmancash @danfrankj

Hi, I have been loving this tool. Thus far I have only used runserver to view the knowledge feed. I would now like to deploy. It does not matter to me where it deploys. It could be a custom domain name, or heroku, or anything else. I am just a little lost on how to deploy. From reading the documentation I got this far.

knowledge_repo --repo app/ deploy

From this I get the following:

INFO:knowledge_repo.repositories.gitrepository:Fetching updates to the knowledge repository...
INFO:alembic.runtime.migration:Context impl SQLiteImpl.
INFO:alembic.runtime.migration:Will assume non-transactional DDL.
[2018-01-09 19:33:58 -0500] [17729] [INFO] Starting gunicorn 19.7.1

[2018-01-09 19:33:58 -0500] [17781] [INFO] Booting worker with pid: 17781

This is obviously only viewable on my computer at http://0.0.0.0:7000.

How do I make this deployable to the web?

@alexhallam Hi Alex. I’m glad you got things sorted out!

A few pointers for you:

• we recently added support for authentication but did not introduce a default local implementation (expecting that people who cared about such things would create their own integrations). It would probably be a good idea to allow people to set up a static username/password list so that for people looking for a simple solution need not look far. [Patches welcome].
• If you change the knowledge-repo’s port to 80, instead of 7000, then you won’t need to type the ‘:7000’ into your browser (:80 is the default for HTTP services).

@alexhallam I did! This is the rule added to the security group:
