Creating a new PlaceCal Site

Requirements

  • SSH access to staging and production servers.
  • A user profile on the placeCal instance with Root privileges.

Actions

Adding a site can be done via the Admin Interface. When adding a new site, you will want to ensure the subdomain works with letsencrypt, which can be done via ssh access to the server. The steps are:

  • Add a domain to the list of placecal domains
  • Refresh letsencrypt so that it picks up the new domain

It’s sufficient to just run these two commands:

dokku domains:add placecal london.placecal-staging.org
dokku letsencrypt:enable placecal
Please replace placecal-staging.org with the appropriate URL for the site! placecal.org for prod, placecal-staging.org for staging !!!!
