Building & Deployment

First, spin up a new Amazon S3 bucket, and enter this as the CORS configuration:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<CORSConfiguration xmlns="http://s3.amazonaws.com/doc/2006-03-01/">
    <CORSRule>
        <AllowedOrigin>*</AllowedOrigin>
        <AllowedMethod>GET</AllowedMethod>
        <MaxAgeSeconds>3000</MaxAgeSeconds>
        <AllowedHeader>*</AllowedHeader>
    </CORSRule>
</CORSConfiguration>

1. Install aws CLI tools, configure your user credentials

pip install aws-cli

2. create a .env file with the variables RHYTHM_SERVER_URL, RHYTHM_MM_HOSTING_URL, and RHYTHM_MM_S3_BUCKET:

RHYTHM_SERVER_URL=https://something.compute-1.amazonaws.com
RHYTHM_MM_HOSTING_URL=https://s3.amazonaws.com/my-s3-bucket
RHYTHM_MM_S3-BUCKET=my-s3-bucket

where RHYTHM_SERVER_URL is a live Rhythm Server instance.

make sure to use the https://s3.amazonaws.com/... URL style for S3, as this enables https, which is required by Google Hangout.

3. to build and deploy, run:

gulp build && gulp deploy

If you want to use an AWS role other than the default role you have in your local AWS CLI configuration, set an environment variable before running gulp deploy:

gulp build && AWS_PROFILE=myprofile gulp deploy

• Ensure the google console link to the plugin.xml file is updated
• The .env file should have an environment variable RHYTHM_SERVER_URL which is a https url to the rhythm server
