   API_TOKEN = ''
   APP_SECRET=''

4. Start the application: Run npm start to start the application.

Create docker image locally

Run

make -s build

to build the docker image. Use make -s git-check to verify that the current working copy is clean and that no unwanted (or uncommit) files will be included in the image.

Push docker image

Make sure to log in to azure via make azlogin.

Run

make -s build
make -s dockerpush

to build the image and push it to azure. Make sure to update the image in the Deployment Center. This is only if you need to test non major version changes. For proper deployment use the deploy functionality as described below.

Deploying new version

Make sure to be on the master branch with a clean working copy.

Run

make -s deploy
