# Setting Up a Staging Environment for Dropship V2 | ||
|
||
This guide outlines the process of setting up a staging environment for the Dropship V2 project. A staging environment allows you to test changes in a production-like setting before deploying to the live site. | ||
|
||
## Prerequisites | ||
|
||
- A separate server or hosting environment for staging (e.g., a separate Heroku app) | ||
- Access to a staging database (can be a separate database on the same server as production) | ||
|
||
## Steps to Set Up Staging | ||
|
||
1. Clone the repository on your staging server | ||
2. Create a new branch for staging | ||
3. Set up environment variables for staging | ||
4. Install dependencies | ||
5. Run database migrations | ||
6. Collect static files | ||
7. Set up a process manager (e.g., Gunicorn) to run the application | ||
8. Configure your web server (e.g., Nginx) to serve the application | ||
|
||
## Deploying to Staging | ||
|
||
1. Push changes to the staging branch | ||
2. On your staging server, pull the changes | ||
3. Restart your application server | ||
|
||
## Testing in Staging | ||
|
||
- Perform thorough testing of all features in the staging environment | ||
- Test with a copy of production data (be sure to anonymize sensitive information) | ||
- Verify that all third-party integrations work correctly in the staging environment | ||
|
||
## Promoting Staging to Production | ||
|
||
1. Merge the staging branch into main | ||
2. Deploy the main branch to your production environment | ||
|
||
Remember to always test thoroughly in staging before deploying to production. |
