What To Do Every Sem?

We need to updates dates.py every semester.

This repository just serves as a frontend for original Gyft and is mostly maintained alongside updates to the original repository.

Deployment

The application is deployed on the metakgp digital ocean droplet. The deployment is done using docker-compose alongside nginx as a reverse proxy. We use the external network metakgp-wiki_main_network to connect with the nginx container of the wiki.

Refer the nginx configuration details - https://github.com/metakgp/metakgp-wiki/tree/master/nginx

After an update using git pull, run docker-compose up --force-recreate --build -d to update the application in the directory /root/gyft-serve.
