Deployment

You can follow the steps covered in Configuration to setup the Astra itself.

Astra does not support TLS/SSL as of yet, but may support by the 1.0 release. However generally a reverse proxy service is recommended for deployment. We recommend Caddy as it is easy to setup and use, especially for majority of our, and hopefully your, usecases. What caddy also does is automatically fetching TLS certificates for your domain as well which is always a good idea. You can install caddy through your system's package manager.

Then open a new file with the name Caddyfile with the following content:

your_domain.tld {
    encode zstd gzip
    reverse_proxy :3000
}

and change your_domain.tld to your domain, and :3000 to the port you have set for your server. After this, make sure your 443 and 80 ports are open through your firewall. For a linux server running ufw you can open them by:

sudo ufw allow 80,443

And finally run the caddy:

caddy run

Make sure your server is running before that. That is pretty much it for the basic deployment.
