NRRD Site Previews

This repository provides the nginx config that provides the proxy for the preview sites.

Setup

The nginx web server runs on cloud.gov. The web server passes the requests to an AWS S3 bucket that stores the various sites for previews.

We use CircleCI to build the branches and use a sync command to send the content to the AWS S3 bucket. The path is created using the name of the branch.

Web Server Setup

To add/update the web server use the following command

cf push nrrd-preview -b https://github.com/cloudfoundry/nginx-buildpack.git -m 10M

AWS S3 Storage Setup

Cloud.gov documentation

Enable website mode on the AWS S3 bucket using aws cli

Bind the service to the web server app(nrrd-preview)
