# Running Locally

Install [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/) and run:

```console
$ npm install
$ npm start
```

The web server will be running at `http://localhost:8000` and the email server at `smtp://localhost:2525`.

# Deployment

1. Create a deployment SSH key pair:

   ```console
   $ ssh-keygen
   ```

   **Private key (`id_rsa`):** Add to GitHub as a **Secret** called `SSH_PRIVATE_KEY`.

   **Public key (`id_rsa.pub`):** Add to DigitalOcean and to GitHub as a **Deploy key** for the repository.

2. Create a DigitalOcean droplet:

   |                    |                           |
   | ------------------ | ------------------------- |
   | Image              | Ubuntu 18.04.3 (LTS) x64  |
   | Plan               | Starter Standard \$5/mo   |
   | Additional options | Monitoring                |
   | Authentication     | Deployment SSH Key        |
   | Hostname           | `kill-the-newsletter.com` |
   | Backups            | Enable                    |

3. Configure DNS in Namecheap:

   | Type    | Host  | Value                     |
   | ------- | ----- | ------------------------- |
   | `A`     | `@`   | `<droplet-ip>`            |
   | `CNAME` | `www` | `kill-the-newsletter.com` |
   | `MX`    | `@`   | `kill-the-newsletter.com` |

4. Setup the server:

   ```console
   $ ssh-add
   $ npx pm2 deploy package.json production setup
   ```

5. Migrate the existing feeds.

6. Push to GitHub, which will trigger the Action that deploys the code and starts the server.
