Production Setup (Ubuntu) - Juules32/wordguessr GitHub Wiki

  • Set up new redis server running on a custom port with a password (important!)
  • Copy .env.example to .env.production and fill in the values, including some locally generated cron secret. The redis connection string should include the password in the form: redis://:<password>@localhost:<port>
  • Make python venv and enter it to install dependencies
  • Generate template puzzles with: python puzzle_generation.py
  • Make service files for the production redis server:
[Unit]
Description=Redis Production Server
After=network.target

[Service]
ExecStart=/usr/bin/redis-server /etc/redis/redis-prod.conf
ExecStop=/usr/bin/redis-cli -p <port> shutdown
Restart=always
User=redis
Group=redis

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
  • ... and the python webserver:
[Unit]
Description=WordGuessr (Uvicorn) Service
After=network.target

[Service]
User=benny
WorkingDirectory=<repo path>
ExecStart=<repo path>/.venv/bin/uvicorn main:app --port <port> --env-file .env.production
Restart=on-failure

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
  • Enable and test the services
  • Make cron scripts that triger the /cron endpoint with the secret generated cron secret and add them to the crontab
  • (Optional) add CNAME record to the webserver for example using Cloudflare Tunnels
