How to publish my test online ? #280

Closed DANIEL-VELASCO closed 4 years ago

DANIEL-VELASCO commented 4 years ago

Hello Everyone,

I´ve just successfully created a test on concerto v5.0.11 on my computer which is accessible from local host (example: http://localhost/test/1d69ec259ce3f7de373854564967a25dee345d85). I´ve got a basic question: How can i publish it so that anybody can access it online ?

Thanks a lot

Like with any web application - you need a server (a computer that is turned on 24/7 with a good network connection). Then you need Concerto installed there. This will make it available on server's public ip address. For most scenarios you'd additionally need to buy a domain name and a TLS certificate. That's so the people won't use the ip address but a friendly name and all the data from your respondents will reach the server encrypted.

One possible way to achieve most of the above is described in the Quickstart Guide in Amazon EC2 section. Provided you decide to go with AWS cloud account, the CloudFormation template there should automate installing Concerto for you leaving you only with purchasing a domain name and pointing it to the server.
