Use Twake in SaaS

You can test or use Twake in our SaaS : web.twake.app​

Run Twake in your server

Install docker

If you don't have docker in your server, you have to install it.

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get -y install apt-transport-https ca-certificates curl gnupg2 software-properties-common
curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/debian/gpg | sudo apt-key add -
sudo add-apt-repository "deb [arch=amd64] https://download.docker.com/linux/debian $(lsb_release -cs) stable"
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get -y install docker-ce --allow-unauthenticated

​

Install docker-compose

Twake use docker-compose. If it is not installed in your server :

sudo curl -L https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/1.22.0/docker-compose-`uname -s`-`uname -m` -o /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
docker-compose --version

​

Install and run Twake

You can install Twake on your server with this command

git clone https://github.com/TwakeApp/Twake.git
cd Twake/twake
cp docker-compose.yml.dist docker-compose.yml
docker-compose up -d

To run ElasticSearch (optional, but enabled by default in the Twake docker-compose) you must increase the max_map_count of your system: https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/docker.html#_set_vm_max_map_count_to_at_least_262144​

To fix an other bug with ElasticSearch container, you must also run this command: chmod 777 ./docker-data/es_twake (create the folder if it doesn't exists in your docker-compose.yml folder)

Twake will be running on port 8000 🎉

Ship Twake in production

See how to detach configuration. And then how to update security keys, and finally how to use your custom domain.

Update Twake

docker-compose stop
docker-compose rm #Remove images (not volumes so your data is safe)
docker-compose pull #Get new images
docker-compose up -d
docker-compose exec nginx yarn build #If you have custom frontend configuration

Requirements and scalability

Currently you'll need at least a 2 cpu + 4 gb of ram machine for 20-50 users depending on their usage and with ElasticSearch disabled.

If you enable ElasticSearch, use two machines, or limit the cpu/ram dedicated to it and use a larger machine (at least 2gb of ram and 1 cpu dedicated to ES for 20-50 users).

If you need to deploy Twake for more users, you can use only one big machine up to 500 users (Will need something like 12 cpu and 32go of ram), then you'll need to use multiple nodes.
