Description

After creating the Workarea VM, SSH into your newly-created VM and follow the on-screen instructions to set your domain name, AWS S3 settings, and CDN domain. Most of these are optional but are provided here to get you started on the right foot. After database seeding completes, you can browse your new store at the configured host or your VM’s IP. Log in with email user@workarea.com and the generated password that you see after seeds complete.

If you provide a hostname in the setup process, certbot --nginx will run automatically and set up your site with a real SSL certificate provided by LetsEncrypt. Otherwise (such as for demo or evaluation purposes), a self-signed certificate will be generated. Since the application runs in production mode, some kind of SSL cert is necessary in order for the application to function properly.
