How to deploy

Before you deploy, you'll need to clone pika's cdist repo: https://wiki.pikans.org/yfncc/git#yfncc-cdist.

You'll also need SSH keys for root on pika-web.mit.edu -- ask yfncc.

1. Make sure you're in the server directory
2. Build for OpenBSD: env GOOS=openbsd GOARCH=amd64 go build
3. Copy the resulting server binary to the cdist repo, at cdist/conf/manifest/bin/openbsd/mealplan, and copy server.html and admin.html (if changed) into cdist/conf/manifest/html/
4. Navigate up to yfncc-cdist/ in the cdist repo and run ./bin/cdist config -v pika-web.mit.edu
5. (If the binary changed) SSH into pika-web.mit.edu and restart the server:
6. su mealplan to change into user mealplan
7. tmux attach to attach to an existing tmux session, or just tmux to start a new one
8. Kill the existing mealplanserver process, either with Ctrl+C if it's in the console, or finding the process and stopping it.
9. Start it anew, with ./run.sh or ./run-console.sh, depending on whether you want to get live console output in the tmux session (only do this if you're running in tmux, or else it will die once your SSH connection dies!)
