Promote staging to production

[gwillen]

First:

• set up config vars on production
• back up the database
• run database migrations?
• remove config vars or otherwise neuter staging so the bots don't fight
• anything else?

Those all seem like good ideas. DB migrations will definitely need to be run before the server will usefully start up, yes.

You can neuter staging by setting ACTIVATE_DISCORD=0 (and maybe ACTIVATE_GAPPS=0 too but that's less critical).

@Zahariel Do you expect the db migrations to be safe and effective, when run against prod? It should be in the same state as staging was when you first started operating on it. I recall we had some discussions about the autogenerated migrations not being quite correct in some cases.

[Zahariel]

I fixed the code to be ready for whatever missing values might be left behind by the migrations, so it should be fine. All the existing users are admins, so they'll be able to set up their user profile stuff themselves; I've tested that works.

This is done.
