Deployment steps to serve nouns-webapp for production

[jackdishman]

Hello!

I'm working with the Boston DAO to launch a fork of the nouns-monorepo. I'm looking to find steps to deploy nouns-webapp to production. I have initially tried the process using Vercel which failed to compile with the following errors:

../hidapi/linux/hid.c:44:10: fatal error: libudev.h: No such file or directory
...
make: *** [Release/obj.target/hidapi-linux-hidraw/hidapi/linux/hid.o] Error 1
19:49:02.234 | gyp ERR! build error

...
Error: Command "yarn run build" exited with 1

If anyone could walk me through the deployment process that Nouns DAO follows or point me in the direction of tooling used, that would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance,
Jack

What version of node are you using?

[mixtou]

It needs node 16. Use nvm to install node 16 and then nvm use 16 to change version. Then it compiles

[jackdishman]

Yeah I'm using node v16! It compiles locally fine, just having issues when deploying on a hosting service.

@jackdishman did you figure this one out? Just hit the same error attempting to deploy to Vercel. Using Node 16.

[jackdishman]

Still haven't figured it out. Here's the issues I'm facing on our fork: bostondao#28

Hey @jackdishman. I think the issue might be with the Vercel build environment. AFAICT, it runs Amazon Linux 2 and you'll need to install the libudev-dev library for some part of this build.

These Vercel docs should guide you on how to add a package to the Vercel build environment.

The package you'll want to install for Amazon Linux 2 is called systemd-devel (which should include libudev): https://amazonlinux.pkgs.org/2/amazonlinux-core-x86_64/systemd-devel-219-78.amzn2.0.16.x86_64.rpm.html

Hope this helps!
