Ease of Deployment and Standalone Installation – BioStars

by Lohit for International Neuroinformatics Coordinating Facility

BioStars is a QnA software adaptable to any audience. Such a software should ideally have a one-step installation with easy maintenance. This project aims to ease the deployment of BioStars in 3 steps: 1. Using Ansible scripts to automate the installation and configuration of BioStars on web servers in Docker containers. 2. Writing ansible package to host BioStar on GCE 3. Making BioStars into a standalone executable to run locally on Windows with a simple and intuitive installation.
