Set up Cron#

This process creates a Cron file, /etc/cron.d/chevereto, which runs background jobs for all Chevereto instances on the server.

make cron

Create Proxy#

This process creates a proxy service to handle incoming network traffic to the server. It also provides automatic security certificates for HTTPS.

Pass your email in the EMAIL_HTTPS option.

make proxy EMAIL_HTTPS=mail@yourdomain.tld

Build Chevereto#

This process builds the container for the Chevereto application.

make image

Set up Namespace#

Create a namespace (opens new window) for each Chevereto instance you want to deploy.

Create the example namespace for the VPS with the domain name img.chevereto.dev (replace with your desired domain name):

make namespace NAMESPACE=example HOSTNAME=img.chevereto.dev

Start Chevereto#

Use the make spawn command to create an instance by passing the NAMESPACE option.

make spawn NAMESPACE=example

🎉 Congratulations, Chevereto is now running.

To create additional instances, repeat the steps in setting up the namespace for each additional website you want to generate.
