Deployment Guide (Render)

This project is configured for easy deployment on Render using a Blueprint.

Prerequisites

  1. A GitHub account with this repository pushed.
  2. A Render account.

Steps to Deploy

  1. Go to Render Dashboard: Log in to https://dashboard.render.com/
  2. Create New Blueprint:
    • Click New + -> Blueprint.
    • Connect your GitHub repository (LearnStream).
  3. Configure:
    • Render will automatically detect the render.yaml file.
    • It will ask you to fill in the Environment Variables defined in the blueprint (like MONGO_URI).
    • IMPORTANT:
      • MONGO_URI: Your MongoDB connection string.
      • CLIENT_URL: The URL of your frontend (you might need to deploy first to get this, or just use * temporarily).
      • SERVER_URL: The URL of your backend (Render provides this).
  4. Apply: Click Apply. Render will deploy both the backend (as a Docker container) and the frontend (as a static site).

Why Docker?

The backend uses Docker (server/Dockerfile) to ensure Python is installed. This is required for the transcript generation fallback to work correctly.
