Development

• Create a localhost key (https://gist.github.com/oslego/f13e136ffeaa6174289a)
  • Copy sample.env into .env
  • Put server.key and server.crt in <project-root>/ssl/
  • docker run -p 27017:27017 mongo NOTE: WILL WIPE DATA, not for PROD
  • don't forget -r dotenv/config in node params if you're running in an IDE
• If you want to debug the db, get on the ubc VPN and forward a port to the machine:
  • ssh <username>@<host> -L 27017:127.0.0.1:27017
  • Then you can connect to the db using localhost:27017 and the appropriate credentials

• Install certbot (https://certbot.eff.org/)

External Steps

0. Get a GitHub organization for your course and configure it. You probably want to:

   • Disable repo access (Uncheck everything under Member Privileges)
   • Change default Repository Permissions to None under Member Privileges

1. Create a GitHub account you want to serve as your 'frontend'; this account will be making lots of accounts and comments, so you probably don't want it to be a personal account.

   • Create a GitHub personal token (under development in the GitHub profile page) and use this in .env:
     • GH_TOKEN_USER=
     • GH_API_TOKEN="token <the github token; leave token and one space to the left of this>"
   • Register this GitHub user as an owner in your organization.
