You need to set the ENV var REDIS_URL to point to your local redis installation with URL format like redis://user:pwd@hostname:port

Bunyan is used for logging into JSON, which is great for feeding for example into Elastic Search for analytic - https://github.com/trentm/node-bunyan The log is piped to STDOUT so you need to pipe it into a file > /var/log/yrpri.log

To build a client_dist production folder with vulcanized web components

npm install polymer-cli
cd client_app
./createDist

For production mode you need to supply the URL to the database as an ENV variable

postgres://username:password@dbhost:dbport/dbname

For production please define SESSION_SECRET=somethingrandomandlong

Google Analytics can be disabled through DISABLE_GA=1

Email Support

For SMTP support define SMTP_SERVER, SMTP_USERNAME, SMTP_PASSWORD and SMTP_PORT. We assume security through STARTTLS negotiation.

When using Heroku SENDGRID_USERNAME, and SENDGRID_PASSWORD need to be defined.

Running behind another web server

If you are running behind a web server like nginx and want to disable production to force https, you can define an ENV variable as DISABLE_FORCE_HTTPS=1

Also if you are running behind nginx you want to add the following to your config: proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto https;

For S3 Image Upload

If you use Amazon AWS S3:

# To run with image upload to S3 enabled
AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=XXX AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=XXX S3_BUCKET=my-test S3_REGION=eu-central-1 ./start

If you use an alternative to Amazon AWS S3:

# To run with image upload to a S3 alternative enabled
AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=XXX AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=XXX S3_BUCKET=my-test S3_ENDPOINT=my.s3.website.com ./start

You will need to have the imagemagick package installed.
