Saleor

Deployment

For our first attempt, we deployed Saleor onto two separate servers:

  1. https://ecommerce.hatherleigh.info/ for the saleor-dashboard

  2. https://saleor.hatherleigh.info/ for the Saleor API

This was to workaround issues with the “back” URL (see more recent install notes for details).

For future deployments, we can deploy two sites to the same server. The two domain names will keep the Nginx configuration separate.
