Building locally

To build locally, run go run app/main.go -local from the root directory.

You'll need to include a .env file in the root directory with the appropriate environment variables included; that file can be retrieved from Slack. For access to the Slack channel with the .env file, please request permission from Elliot or David.

Building in a Docker container

To build the Docker image, run make build. Then, to start the container, run make start.

Deploying to Google App Engine

To deploy to Google Cloud/Google App Engine, you need to create a Google Cloud account and be given the appropriate set of permissions. For appropriate Google Cloud permissions, please speak to Carrie.

You'll need to include a app.yaml file in the root directory with the appropriate environment variables included; that file can be retrieved from Slack. For access to the Slack channel with the app.yaml file, please request permission from Elliot or David.

To initialize the deployment process, run gcloud init. From there, select the appropriate configuration you'd like to deploy to. Once you've configured your build, run gcloud deploy.
