monarch-app packaging #1150

Open jnguyenx opened 8 years ago

jnguyenx commented 8 years ago

Instead of rebuilding the monarch-app each time (with ./install.sh), I think that it's a better practice to build the application once and distribute an executable.

The benefits would be:

faster and smoother deployment
reproducibility, ensure that the same executable are being used between stage, production, or even locally for example

This webapp example distributes versioned archives: https://www.elastic.co/downloads/kibana

Are the compiled c libs etc. portable across platforms (e.g. mac vs linux)?

jnguyenx commented 8 years ago

They seem to cross-compile their stuff for each targeted architecture.
