How To Host Your Atlas Front End UI on Another Server

Web hosting is already included in all Thrinacia Atlas subscription plans and is recommended for those who would like to use the platform as turn key solution.

However, what if you would like to host the site yourself, somewhere else, potentially on another server? In this tutorial, I will be showing you how to host the Thrinacia Atlas Front End on your own server or hosting account.

Step 1. Ensure you have access to the files for your website instance and download them to your local computer.  To do so, you need to have a paid plan and then sign into the Nexus system. Be sure you are on the project that you would like to get information about.

Then click on Wiki -> Portal Information at the top of the project. Here, you will see the SFTP information so you can download all of the files including your username and password. Go ahead, and download the webui files using the SFTP onto your own computer.

Step 2. Once you have successfully downloaded the webui files, you can now sign into your hosting account. We recommend you use something like GoDaddy, Digital Ocean or Vultr. However you can use any of the alternate services as well. We will not go into domain configuration as this is separate topic and tied to each different hosting provider.

Hosting accounts may differ depending on which provider you are using. You may have access to your files using FTP or SFTP. In this next step, you are going to upload the webui files you downloaded into your public directory and make sure you get upload all files under angapp folder previously downloaded directly into the web root of your new web hosting instance.

Step 3. After you have successfully uploaded the files into the public directory, your site should be up and running. If you do not see the site running, then you may need to do some more configuration, involving setting up Apache or Nginx web server virtual host files or configuring your rewrite rules via Apache .htaccess file.

As Web UI v1 is Angular based application (SPA) that has HTML and JavaScript code it will need correct rewrite rules in order to function and work correctly with the URL structure.

You should now be able to see your site using the domain name on your hosting provider. You are finished!
