Deploying a production instance

Hi fellow sysadmins! First of all, I want to thank you for using my piece of software. The instructions can be found below

Deploying a basic instance

To deploy a basic instance for general public use, follow these simple steps:

1. Clone this repo
2. Copy docker-compose.prod.yml to docker-compose.yml and edit it to fit your environment
3. Now, there are a few config files that need to be edited by you: .env, filed/.env and janitord/.env. Each directory contains an .env.example, and the configuration is pretty straightforward. However, if you are lost check this out: filed config, janitord config.
4. Configure fileD using filed/config/filed.toml. The example is in the same folder. Example contains a lot of self-documenting comments, so it should be pretty simple too.
5. Set REDIS_PASS to a secure long string. Not exactly required, but this is something you would want to do
6. Create and start containers with docker-compose up -d
7. Route your top level reverse proxy to the caddy service or to the port that you opened via the docker compose file.

FileD configuration

Unless you are running in some kind of super customized docker compose environment, just copying the .env.example to .env should be enough to get it to run.

Don't forget to set the REDIS_PASS to the same value across all services

JanitorD configuration

Same as filed config, don't forget to set REDIS_PASS to a valid value
