Hi All 👋 Anyone know when this TODO will be updated? Need guidance on deploying Ktor to remote Ubuntu server - either a Docker deploy or other working Ktor + Linux server setup 🙏

[Big Chungus]

Just deploy it as any fat jar

[Big Chungus]

You can use this to bundle shadow jar https://github.com/johnrengelman/shadow

DM me if you are still having issues, happy to help

1. clone the project repository to your ubuntu server
2. install jdk
3. build distribution ./gradlew installDist
4. run it build/install/{YourProjectName}/bin/{YourProjectName}

also you can read your .env (if you have one) before running it:
while read -r line; do export $line; done < .env

Thank you @Nikola Minoski 🙏 I did manage to get it working however using Docker, what I need right now is automating process of pulling the docker image and rebuilding
