Deploy Your Own Instance (Self-Host)

  1. Create accounts on GitHub, Namecheap, and DigitalOcean.

  2. Fork this repository.

  3. Create a deployment SSH key pair:

    $ ssh-keygen

    Private key (id_rsa): Add to your fork under Settings > Secrets as a new secret called SSH_PRIVATE_KEY.

    Public key (id_rsa.pub): Add to your fork under Settings > Deploy keys and to your DigitalOcean account under Account > Security > SSH keys.

  4. Buy a domain on Namecheap.

  5. Create a DigitalOcean droplet:
    Image Ubuntu 18.04.3 (LTS) x64
    Plan Starter Standard $5/mo
    Additional options Monitoring
    Authentication Your Deployment SSH Key
    Hostname <YOUR DOMAIN, FOR EXAMPLE, “kill-the-newsletter.com”>
    Backups Enable

  6. Assign the new droplet a Firewall:
    Name <YOUR DOMAIN, FOR EXAMPLE, “kill-the-newsletter.com”>
    Inbound Rules ICMP
    SSH 22
    Custom 25 (SMTP)
    HTTP 80
    HTTPS 443

  7. Assign the new droplet a Floating IP.

  8. Configure the DNS in Namecheap:

    Type Host Value
    A @ <FLOATING IP>
    CNAME www <YOUR DOMAIN, FOR EXAMPLE, “kill-the-newsletter.com”>
    MX @ <YOUR DOMAIN, FOR EXAMPLE, “kill-the-newsletter.com”>

  9. Configure the deployment on package.json, particularly under the following keys:

    • apps.env.BASE_URL.
    • apps.env.EMAIL_DOMAIN.
    • apps.env.ISSUE_REPORT.
    • deploy.production.host.
    • deploy.production.repo.

  10. Configure Caddy, the reverse proxy, on Caddyfile.

  11. Setup the server:

    $ ssh-add
$ npm run deploy:setup

  12. Migrate the existing feeds (if any):

    $ ssh-add
$ ssh -A root@<YOUR DOMAIN, FOR EXAMPLE, “kill-the-newsletter.com”>
root@<YOUR DOMAIN, FOR EXAMPLE, “kill-the-newsletter.com”> $ rsync -av <path-to-previous-feeds> /root/kill-the-newsletter.com/current/static/feeds/
root@<YOUR DOMAIN, FOR EXAMPLE, “kill-the-newsletter.com”> $ rsync -av <path-to-previous-alternate> /root/kill-the-newsletter.com/current/static/alternate/

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

Run Locally

$ npm install
$ npm run develop

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

Run Tests
