Yesterday I was insomniac so I spent time trying to get TW5 up and running
on Azure, I am sharing here (at a high level) how you can do it on your own
if you want to
- *Why would I want to do this* ?
- You will have your own TW5 running on NodeJS (so read write)
- It is available from anywhere (internet published)
- It is secured (*https & Username / password*)
- It is *free*
- *Why not to do this*?
- it can get a bit geeky
- Data is not encrypted at rest (i.e. data on azure is not encrypted)
- *Is it really Free*?
- Yes it is: Microsoft Azure offers an "*Always Free*" tier
https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/free/free-account-faq/ that has a
Azure App Service with 1GB of ram. This should be good enough for your TW
- *What is the catch*?
- you won't be able to use your "own domain" so your TW5 link will be
https://something.azurewebsites.net which is totally fine for me
*Ok I am in what do I do now* ?
1. Download and install Visual Studio code https://code.visualstudio.com/
you
can do it without that but it is much simpler to just use VS code so I will
stick to that for this tutorial
2. Open VS code and install *Azure App Service extension*
https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ms-azuretools.vscode-azureappservice
3. Register for your free *Azure Account* (you need only the always
free tier so it won't expire after a year)
4. Open VS Code and sign in to azure

*I've done all that now what*?
