# 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 |
**Firewall**
| | | |
| ------------- | ------------------------- | --------- |
| Name | `kill-the-newsletter.com` | |
| Inbound Rules | ICMP | |
| | SSH | 22 |
| | Custom | 25 (SMTP) |
| | HTTP | 80 |
| | HTTPS | 443 |
**Floating IP**
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:
```console
$ ssh-add
$ ssh -A root@kill-the-newsletter.com
root@kill-the-newsletter.com $ rsync -av <path-to-previous-feeds> /root/www.kill-the-newsletter.com/current/static/feeds/
```
6. Push to GitHub, which will trigger the Action that deploys the code and starts the server.
