reboot

sudo apt-get install clang libicu-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev lldb git wget unzip -y
sudo apt-get install swift vapor
echo "export PATH=/swift-4.2/usr/bin:\"\${PATH}\"" >> ~/.bashrc
source ~/.bashrc

follow medium until deploy.sh

• clone olWebsite to ~/
• run our custom deploy

new users need a key

Deploying new version

Building docker container

1. Build new version image

sudo docker build -t oneleif-api:latest -f web.Dockerfile --build-arg env=production  . 

2. Stop previous working version

sudo docker ps

CONTAINER ID        IMAGE               COMMAND                  CREATED             STATUS              PORTS                NAMES
c3788b91c762        oneleif-api         "/bin/sh -c './Run s…"   5 minutes ago       Up 5 minutes        0.0.0.0:80->80/tcp   oneleif-api

sudo docker stop oneleif-api

3. Remove old container

sudo docker rm oneleif-api

4. Create a new container and start it

sudo docker create -p 80:80 --name oneleif-api oneleif-api
sudo docker start oneleif-api

That's all :)
