## Deploying
We use [deployer](https://deployer.org/) to deploy to an environment:
```sh
dep deploy --branch
```
| environment | host |
| ----------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| dev | [cla-smartycards-dev.oit.umn.edu](https://cla-smartycards-dev.oit.umn.edu) |
| stage | [cla-smartycards-tst.oit.umn.edu](https://cla-smartycards-tst.oit.umn.edu) |
| prod | [cla-smartcards-prd.oit.umn.edu](https://cla-smartcards-prd.oit.umn.edu) |
Server configuration is managed via [UMN CLA's Ansible Playbook](https://github.com/umn-cla/ansible-rhel9).
## Documentation
Docs use [vitepress](https://vitepress.dev/) and are found in [./docs](./docs/).
```sh
# develop docs locally
npm run docs:dev
# deploy docs
npm run docs:deploy
