Deploy with Docker
The Trotto repo includes a Dockerfile you can use to
build an image for Trotto with your configuration. The config for a Dockerized Trotto instance
consists of two files:
app.yml, containing the main configclient_secrets.json, a Google OAuth credentials file
These files are described below. Once you've put these files in server/src/config/ in your clone of the repo, run
the docker build command to build a Trotto image containing your config. The startup command for the container will
run Trotto at 0.0.0.0:8000 inside the container or, if the PORT env var is set, at 0.0.0.0:${PORT}. So for
example, if you're using the default port 8000 inside the container, you could publish the Trotto app to the host
machine's port 80 like so:
docker build -t trotto .
docker run -d -p 80:8000 trotto
The startup command will also update the Postgres database you use with Trotto if it's new or out-of-date.
If you have any trouble, don't hesitate to reach out to us at help@trot.to.
app.yml
The app.yml file is the main file used to configure Trotto. See the documentation for
app.yml here.
client_secrets.json
client_secrets.json is a Google OAuth credentials file. See here for
info on how to create OAuth credentials.
