Production? #350

Closed ghost closed 6 years ago

ghost commented 6 years ago

How do I make my dockerized instance think it's in production so that it'll update its feeds without being told to manually do it?

maddyblue commented 6 years ago

I'm not sure how this works in docker. It's an app engine app, so you should run it in app engine.

So it only runs in Google's for-pay service?

maddyblue commented 6 years ago

app engine has a generous free tier. you should be able to run for free for a few years with only 1-2 users.

I don't imagine it matters much, but I attempted to do this. I signed up and got my 1-year credit or whatever and was immediately overwhelmed with the thousand-triggered death star that greeted me.

The 'goapp deploy' instructions don't seem to be true anymore... after fighting with my PATH for a while I ended up figuring out it was "gcloud deploy" now. It also didn't like some of the stuff in app.yaml. I was able to connect to the instance, but it wouldn't upload my opml file. No error or anything, it would just not do it. Perhaps hidden in the billions of hyperlinks in the admin interface there was one that would've told me what was wrong.

I ended up deleting the app as I couldn't find any way to prevent "randos" from signing up to my instance and using up my precious cycles.

Thanks for GoRead. It was really really great and I will miss it dearly. If anyone comes across this issue and knows of a worthy successor, please let me know.
