What You Need to Do Before Deploying

Prerequisites Checklist

1. Server Access

  • Ensure you can SSH to: poduck@smoothschedule.com
  • Verify sudo password: chaff/starry

2. DNS Configuration

Configure these DNS records at your domain registrar:

Type    Name                        Value              TTL
A       smoothschedule.com          YOUR_SERVER_IP     300
A       *.smoothschedule.com        YOUR_SERVER_IP     300
CNAME   www                         smoothschedule.com 300

To find YOUR_SERVER_IP:

ping smoothschedule.com
# or
ssh poduck@smoothschedule.com 'curl -4 ifconfig.me'

3. Server Firewall Ports

Ensure these ports are open on your server:

  • Port 22 (SSH)
  • Port 80 (HTTP)
  • Port 443 (HTTPS)
  • Port 5555 (Flower - optional)

4. DigitalOcean Spaces

  • Create bucket (run setup-spaces.sh on server)
  • Verify credentials are correct

Deployment Steps (Quick Start)

Step 1: Initial Server Setup (One-Time)

# From your local machine
cd /home/poduck/Desktop/smoothschedule2

# Run server setup
ssh poduck@smoothschedule.com 'bash -s' < server-setup.sh

# Note: You'll need to logout/login after this for Docker group changes

Step 2: Setup DigitalOcean Spaces (One-Time)

# Copy setup script to server
scp setup-spaces.sh poduck@smoothschedule.com:~/

# SSH to server and run it
ssh poduck@smoothschedule.com
./setup-spaces.sh
exit

Step 3: Deploy Application

# From your local machine
cd /home/poduck/Desktop/smoothschedule2
./deploy.sh poduck@smoothschedule.com

Step 4: Post-Deployment Setup

# SSH to server
ssh poduck@smoothschedule.com
cd ~/smoothschedule

# Create superuser
docker compose -f docker-compose.production.yml exec django python manage.py createsuperuser

# Create a business tenant
docker compose -f docker-compose.production.yml exec django python manage.py shell

Then in the Django shell:

from core.models import Business
from django.contrib.auth import get_user_model

User = get_user_model()

# Create a business
business = Business.objects.create(
    name="Demo Business",
    subdomain="demo",
    schema_name="demo",
)

# Create business owner
owner = User.objects.create_user(
    username="demo_owner",
    email="owner@demo.com",
    password="choose_a_password",
    role="owner",
    business_subdomain="demo"
)

exit()
