The serverInit.sh script has been created to be run on a debian like system that runs bash shell scripts and requires the mongodb-org-3.4.list file to be added to install MongoDB.

The purpose is to deploy a MEAN application as taught by Coding Dojo.

At this time, it only clones GitHub repos.

To use this script, once you have created an Ubuntu instance on your Amazon Web Service, ssh into the instance and git clone this repository to your server.

cd mean_deployment

Edit the nginx.conf file. The {{ private-ip }} tag needs to be replaced with your server private IP address. (TODO: add an ifconfig call that can dynamically replace the {{ private-ip }})

./serverInit.sh to run this script and repond to requeses for GitHub user and repo information.

If you are not familiar with configuring a server manually, I suggest you do so before using the shell script in case you need to troubleshoot the deployment, but the point of using the script is to avoid any issues.

If deployment does not complete as expected, check if your project cloned properly from GitHub.
