Question

For my one project I use greenlight

first, I installed greenlight on the server but I want to customize the landing page but I don't how to do it. so I installed rails application in my server, I did some changes like adding a custom class. but no effect on the landing page.

can someone explain me how can I fully customize greenlight directly on the server ?

Answer 1

Its for Greenlight V1.

After searching bit i found below steps to setup ruby on rails greenlight app on server.

If you already setup greenlight with docker then please stop docker. for docker compose you need to run command docker-compose down. it will stop docker image and you will see 404 on your server .

You need to fork greenlight from github first then clone that project in server you can clone it anywhere on server just make sure your server is running on port 5000.

you can checkout more from here

This are all the commands I used to have greenlight running without docker which works for me
