This repository just serves as a frontend for original Gyft and is mostly maintained alongside updates to the original repository.

The application is deployed on the metakgp digital ocean droplet. The deployment is done using docker-compose alongside nginx as a reverse proxy. We use the external network metakgp-wiki_main_network to connect with the nginx container of the wiki.

Refer the nginx configuration details - https://github.com/metakgp/metakgp-wiki/tree/master/nginx

After an update using git pull, run docker-compose up --force-recreate --build -d to update the application in the directory /root/gyft-serve.
