Co-op Cloud deployment questions: reverse proxy & CLI flags / env vars

[tsmethurst]

Heya! Thanks!

I also use Traefik for lots of things so it was important to me that GtS is decently compatible with it.

You can indeed just run GtS in normal http mode without letsencrypt by setting the flag to false :) Then GtS will run on port 8080 and you can point Traefik towards that port -- in the future the ports will be configurable, see #43.

The default minimal configuration is just setting the --host flag, that's the only one you still need to set manually and the rest have defaults. If you run gotosocial --help you should see a list of all the flags that you can set, alongside their defaults. So for an extremely basic server config, you can run gotosocial --host example.org server start

[[[EDIT: my bad, you also need to set --storage-serve-host to the same value as --host. In future I will make that default to whatever has been set as --host but right now it doesn't default to it yet.]]]

You can indeed pass arguments as environment variables! They're listed in the --help command as well :) You can also use a yaml configuration file, but this isn't documented yet.

If you're testing deployment and you wanna write some docs as you go along (sort of a 'how to get started' thing) that would be really appreciated! I didn't get around to writing that document myself yet, so help would be very very welcome <3
