Emi Matchu 4fff8d88f2 Add support_staff flag to user record; they can use Support tools A little architecture trick here! DTI 2020 authorizes support staff requests by means of a secret token, instead of user account stuff. And our support tools still all call DTI 2020 APIs. So here, we bridge the gap: we copy DTI 2020's support secret to this app's environment variables (I needed to update `deploy/files/production.env` and run `bin/deploy:setup` for this!), then users with the new `support_secret` flag have it added to their HTML documents in the meta tags. Then, the JS reads the meta tag. I also fixed an issue in the `deploy/setup.yml` playbook, where I had temporarily commented some stuff out to skip steps one time, and forgot to uncomment them after oops lol!		2024-01-29 04:21:19 -08:00

README

Dress to Impress is deployed to a VPS server. We use this Ansible Playbook to
automate the environment setup!

We expect to be deploying to Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, initially with nothing
installed. The user you deploy with should have sudoers access. That should be
all it takes!

First, run `yarn deploy:setup` in the app root, to run the `setup.yml`
playbook. This will prompt you for your root password, to set up system
dependencies. It should be safe to re-run this, including if you add a new
dependency to the playbook, because the steps are non-destructive and Ansible
will skip steps that are already satisfied.

Then, to deploy a new version of the app, run `yarn deploy`. This will build
the app from the code on your machine, then send the source and build output
to the remote machine, and switch it to be the new production version. Nice!

Note that the setup script references a file named `production.env`, which is
gitignored because it contains sensitive information, like database passwords.
You should create a `production.env` file in the local `deploy/files`
directory, to be copied to the remote server and used as its environment
variables.
