Deploying Yesod web app

Question

I have a simple Yesod web app. I could follow the instruction in http://www.yesodweb.com/page/quickstart, and checked stack exec -- Yesod devel is working fine

Answer 1

The stack build command gives me the hints:

my-project-0.0.0: install
Installing library in
/home/a/my-project/.stack-work/install/x86_64-linux/lts-3.13/7.10.2/lib/x86_64-linux-ghc-7.10.2/my-project-0.0.0-Khn8lQEgR1HARzYGStlvPe
Installing executable(s) in
/home/a/my-project/.stack-work/install/x86_64-linux/lts-3.13/7.10.2/bin
Registering my-project-0.0.0...

The executable is located in /home/a/my-project/.stack-work/install/x86_64-linux/lts-3.13/7.10.2/bin. I could copy the files (executable, static, and config) in ~/deployment directory to check the Yesod works fine.

Answer 2

As far as I know, the executable should be in the build subdirectory of your project directory. I think it's a hidden directory (name starting with a dot) so you may need to run "ls -a" to see it.

To run - simply execute the executable :) (Append '&' to make it run in the background).

Once you have the final version you wish to go into production with, you'll probably configure the executable to start automatically when the VM boots, to detect if the executable crashed, etc.

Good luck, Michał
