Website Deployment

[adamzev]

I'd love to share what we already have so I'd like to get a domain and deploy the site.

• Create a team on Digital Ocean
• Create a droplet
• Create a Flask deployment following this tutorial
• Install Node on the droplet
• Adapt the tutorial to our site
• Decide on a domain name
• Register and point the domain at the droplet
• Add TravisCI

Regarding the domain name, I've been trying to think of a better name for the project. I'm thinking "Pop-up Sim." Something like "Home Run Sim" would oversell the modest ambitions of the project and both pop-up-sim.com and popupsim.com are available. Do you have a preference between the two or other name suggestions?

I guess pop-up could also mean pop-up ads. Fly Ball Sim? Pop Fly Sim? Although that sounds more like it simulates the path of the ball. Roster Sim? Line-up Sim? Warning Track Baseball Sim? Starting 9 is in use for the name of a small baseball show. I like NineUp Sim (Christian rap group with that name, but I don't know if that matters).

@briancaffey I've come close to getting this working a couple times. Through Gunicorn or Docker, I can get the droplet to host the home page but I'm messing up the config on serving the static files from the build directory. Can you take a look?

Wow that sounds great. I would love to take a look. I’m heading to stone harbor for a few days. I’ll be back on Sunday and I’ll have time then to take a look at what you have done with the droplet. Sounds like you are onto a good start!

I deployed the site to bat-around.com. As in, we're batting around the data to see what we come up with or every batter batted in an inning. I made some changes to app.py to get it to work so we'll have to see how to manage that the dev and production versions have some differences in how they serve static files.
