Using a reverse proxy

We are using the reverse proxy traefik.

1. Follow these instructions on how to setup Traefik (First two steps)
2. Navigate to your directory of TheSpaghettiDetective cd TheSpaghettiDetective
3. Edit the docker-compose.yml file with your favorite editor: nano docker-compose.yml
4. • Add labels: and networks: to the web: section
   • and also add networks: at the end of the file

   ...
     web:
       <<: *web-defaults
       hostname: web
       ports:
         - 3334:3334
       labels:
         - traefik.backend=thespaghettidetective
         - traefik.frontend.rule=Host:spaghetti.your.domain
         - traefik.docker.network=web
         - traefik.port=3334
       networks:
         - web
       depends_on:
         - ml_api
       command: sh -c "python manage.py collectstatic --noinput && python manage.py migrate && python manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:3334"
   
     ...
   
     ...
   
       networks:
         web:
           external: true
   

5. Start TheSpaghettiDetective with docker-compose up -d
6. You should now be able to browse to spaghetti.your.domain

Enable telegram notifications

1. Create a bot. You can do this by messaging @BotFather - see telegram's documentation for further information.
2. Add TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN to docker-compose.yml with the token @BotFather generated.
3. Set the bot's domain by messaging @BotFather /setdomain, selecting your bot, and sending him your bot's domain name. This must be a publicly-accessible domain name. You can temporarily generate a publicly-accessible domain name through a local tunnel - see [https://localtunnel.github.io/www/] or [https://serveo.net/#manual] for two good options.
4. Log in to telegram from your user preferences page (let's say your publicly accessible domain name is https://tunnel.serveo.net/. You'd go to https://tunnel.serveo.net, log into your local TheSpaghettiDetective account -- by default root@example.com -- and go to the user preferences page, then log into telegram and hit the form's save button).
5. That's it! Once you've logged in once, you will no longer need a publicly-accessible domain name.

Enable social login (TBD)

Change email server to be one other than sendmail on localhost (TBD)
