Deploying to a server

The scripts/ folder has build and deployment scripts for easy deployment on a remote server. At a high level, the steps are:

1. Set up an nginx configuration. See scripts/nginx.conf for an example configuration.

2. Set up Postgres and populate the environment with secrets (see scripts/secrets.example.env.

   • (Optional) Set up AWS S3 (or any compatible service) for file storage and a Google Cloud OAuth key for Calendar sync.

3. Git clone your repo and use mix phx.server to start it.
