current documentation doesn’t give a clear idea what all things are needed to do a self hosted production deploy. It's great for getting things setup to the point that you see something in the browser I guess.
we tried to setup prod variant of the docker compose file but then the code has some hard dependencies on 3rd party tools which didn’t let the rails service start correctly
we also tried to host dev version as prod (bad idea, I know :) but then it resulted into “HTTP Origin” related issues
Also, if you try the admin dashboard as part of the setup process, - makerville.io/ - in the logs we see something weird where it says a particular value isn't what it's supposed to be, but it actually is. So there's that.
Since i have your attention now, I am going to sneak in another question here quickly - do you know by when this you are expecting to make things available widely? I'd love to be part of an early program if that's possible as well! The reason I ask is that we were hoping to have this ready in time for our first ever conf - conference.makerville.io/ - it's scheduled for the tail end of January.
First off, thanks a lot for taking the time for writing such a detailed reply. We are aware of the issue you mention and are continously working on fixing/improving things.
Regarding your second question: if you haven't done so already, please fill in this form:
Easy to use deploy instructions. We tried to follow the guides, but they are focused on self hosting for development - not for starting a community 😅
Good feedback. Do you have a list of things that the docs didn't explain well for this use case by any chance?
Sure!
