Notes about deployments

[ibc]

Some ideas and TODO items to improve our current poor deployment tools.

npm link

NOTE: Totally undocumented, 99% probably it won't work.

• In server/.gitignore add /.npmrc-custom.
• In the deploy host create .npmrc-custom file in demo server folder with this content:

  mediasoup=/home/xxxxx/src/mediasoup-xxxx
  # or maybe this (undocumented):
  link-mediasoup=link:/home/xxxxx/src/mediasoup-xxxx

• Then run NPM_CONFIG_USERCONFIG=./.npmrc-custom npm ci and maybe it uses mediasoup from /home/xxxxx/src/mediasoup-xxxx and doesn't modify package.json or package-lock.json.
