Apostello & Azure #88

Closed ourchurchny closed 6 years ago

ourchurchny commented 6 years ago

Is there a way to deploy Apostello using Microsoft Azure?

monty5811 commented 6 years ago

I can't see why not.

You should be able to provision a VM and then follow the instructions here: http://apostello.readthedocs.io/en/latest/deploy_ansible.html to get everything setup.

Thanks for getting back so quickly! I am completely new to all of this. I am not sure exactly where I would put the code from that site on a VM. When you say "provision" does this mean set one up with windows server?

No problem.

"Provision" - yeah, that means set up a new VM. However, apostello has only been tested on Linux, it should, in theory, be able to run on Windows, but it would take a lot of configuring to do so.

I recommend, if you are new to all of this, either using Heroku or Digital Ocean to deploy apostello. Heroku will manage pretty much everything for you and it will be free to try (and should remain free unless you send a huge number of SMS) - there is no VM to manage, it is all done for you. DigitalOcean will be a traditional VM that you will need to manage and setup a domain for.

Heroku deployment: http://apostello.readthedocs.io/en/latest/deploy_heroku.html Digital Ocean deployment: http://apostello.readthedocs.io/en/latest/deploy_do.html
