## Configuration
|
|
|
|
- `LOCAL_DOMAIN` should be the domain/hostname of your instance. This is **absolutely required** as it is used for generating unique IDs for everything federation-related
|
|
- `LOCAL_HTTPS` set it to `true` if HTTPS works on your website. This is used to generate canonical URLs, which is also important when generating and parsing federation-related IDs
|
|
- `HUB_URL` should be the URL of the PubsubHubbub service that your instance is going to use. By default it is the open service of Superfeedr
|
|
|
|
## Requirements
|
|
|
|
- PostgreSQL
|
|
- Redis
|
|

|
## Running with Docker and Docker-Compose
|
|
|
|
The project now includes a Dockerfile and a docker-compose.yml. You need to turn .env.production sample into .env.production with all the variables set before you can:
|
|
|
|
docker-compose build
|
|
|
|
And finally
|
|
|
|
docker-compose up
|
|
|
|
As usual, the first thing you would need to do would be to run migrations:
|
|
|
|
docker-compose run web rake db:migrate
