Production Mode

So far you’ve been running the app with renet dev up from inside the repo. That’s great for development. For production, you manage everything from your laptop with rdc. Close your laptop and the app keeps running.

Dev vs prod

The difference is simple:

• renet dev up runs inside the repo. You need to be connected.
• rdc repo up runs from your laptop. No connection needed after that.

Three actions take you from dev to prod:

Step 1: Stop the dev session

Connect to the repo and bring it down:

rdc vscode connect -m my-server -r my-app
time renet dev down

Step 2: Start in production mode

From your laptop’s terminal:

time rdc repo up --name my-app -m my-server

That’s it. Your app is running, and you can close your laptop. The Rediaccfile handles everything. rdc repo up calls the same up function renet dev up did. Same Rediaccfile, different way to invoke it.

Step 3: Survive server reboots

Make sure your app comes back automatically when the server restarts:

time rdc repo autostart enable --name my-app -m my-server

Verify which repos have autostart enabled:

time rdc repo autostart list -m my-server

Stopping in production

When you need to stop your app:

time rdc repo down --name my-app -m my-server

One command up, one command down. All from your laptop.
