   • This script was tested only on Ubuntu 24.04.

2. Create an A record in the DNS settings of your domain to the server IP. For example, cms.example.com.

3. Log in from SSH and run:

   curl https://lumeland.github.io/cms-deploy/install.sh > install.sh && sh install.sh

4. After updating and installing some packages, the script will ask you for some info:

   • The SSH URL of the repository. Example: git@github.com:user/repo.git.
   • An email. It's used for git commits, or to create the SSL certificate.
   • The domain for the CMS: cms.example.com.
   • An username. It's used to login in the CMS. By default is admin.
   • A password. Used for the login.
   • When generating the public/private rsa key pair, leave the passphrase empty.
   • During the process, it will ask you to add a deploy key.
     • Go to the GitHub respository / Settings / Deploy keys / Add deploy key.
     • Paste the key printed in the terminal.
     • Make sure to check "Allow write access".
     • Once the key is added, press Enter in the terminal to continue.

5. When the script is finished you should see your site and be able to edit the pages.
