What should be in github (or other repos) is a *template*, and best to call it a name that relates to appconfig.ini but makes clear its role; something like appcfg_template.ini. By changing the name, you make sure that System Y's appconfig.ini isn't published to github by an automatic accident. [This is the general advice for archiving .ini and .rc files of all types.]
The distribution does this with the mailer settings, and having an sqlite uri in the template isn't too risky, since that usually needs local access. But for a Foxglove DB running on a remote server, you'd fill in the template with something like: uri = fxgl:///ADMINNAME:ADPWD@myremotedigitalisserver and then on installation, copy the template to appconfig.ini and open it in an editor to fill in the actual values. /dps On Monday, January 7, 2019 at 7:21:55 PM UTC-5, Dave S wrote: >> >> >> >> On Sunday, January 6, 2019 at 12:45:27 PM UTC-8, Vlad wrote: >>> >>> Oh, I didn't express myself precisely: I am asking about Github - I am >>> setting up a Github repository and wondering what exactly from the app >>> directory should go in there - without extra files and without missing >>> files - to preserve complete app/set >>> >>> >> You don't want the sessions or errors folders (they'll get recreated by >> web2py if missing, and should be cleaned out from time to time anyway). >> You may choose to also skip the databases folder, as the table files are >> recreated from the models.
