+# pepper-paintings
+
+### Install everything
+
+```
+npm install
+npm install -g webpack-cli
+scp web@giraffe.life:pepper-paintings/.env .
+```
+
+Change `OK_PRODUCTION` to false in the `.env`
+
+
+### Run the CMS
+
+```
+node index
+```
+
+Using the `.env` above, the CMS will run on http://lvh.me:6555/
+
+
+### Watch for changes
+
+```
+webpack
+```
+
+This will build the file `public/bundle.js`
+
+To build for production, do `webpack -p`, which will build and minify the bundle. Please do this before pushing a new revision of the site.
+
+
+### On the server
+
+I use `pm2` to manage my node projects on the server:
+
+```
+pm2 list
+pm2 info pepper
+pm2 restart pepper
+```
