Fork this repo to your account. This will be used to deploy to Render.

Sign Up for Render

Create Your Config File

Add a new file, config.render.json in the root of your forked repo and add your configuration to it.

This file is git ignored and will not be stored in git but used later when setting up Render.

Create a New Render Web Service

Follow the Render docs to create this. When you get to the end of Step 4, add the following Advanced settings:

Enviroment Variables

Key	Value
CONFIG_FILE_PATH	/etc/secrets/config.render.json

Secret Files

Filename	Contents
config.render.json	Copy/Paste contents of config.render.json

Once the web service is saved it will be deployed and available on the URL noted in the Render Dashboard.

Notes

If you update your config file you will need to update the Secret File contents in the Render Dashboard for the project.
