Zeppelin's production environment - that is, the bot, API, and dashboard - uses Docker.
- Install Docker on the machine running the bot
- Make a copy of
.env.example
called.env
- Fill in the missing values in
.env
- Run
docker compose -f docker-compose.production.yml up -d
Note: The dashboard and API are exposed with a self-signed certificate. It is recommended to set up a proxy with a proper certificate in front of them. Cloudflare is a popular choice here.
If you've downloaded the bot's files by cloning the git repository, you can use update.sh
to update the bot.
- Shut the bot down:
docker compose -f docker-compose.production.yml stop
- Update the files (e.g.
git pull
) - Start the bot again:
docker compose -f docker-compose.production.yml start
If you need to make a hotfix to the bot's source files directly on the server:
- Shut the bot down:
docker compose -f docker-compose.production.yml stop
- Make your edits
- Start the bot again:
docker compose -f docker-compose.production.yml start
Note that you can't edit the compiled files directly as they're overwritten when the environment starts.
Only edit files in /backend/src
, /shared/src
, and /dashboard/src
.
Make sure to revert any hotfixes before updating the bot normally.
To view real-time logs, run docker compose -f docker-compose.production.yml logs -t -f
