Installation Instructions - Addtional Information

[kdhallbgm]

Hello,

I'm trying to set up a quick HotCRP installation for internal purposes. Since I don't work much with Nginx I was looking for a bit more information about the file tree layout and typical Nginx/FPM configs for a working HotCRP installation. The README.md file gives fragments that I could probably understand better after learning Nginx, but it seems that it would be handy to include a working sample configuration (somewhere else in the Git tree if it's too big for the Readme).

Also, is there a script or URL for verifying a new installation? I see the 'test' directory, but I don't see how to use it.

If this information is actually already there somewhere, please send me a link as I haven't been able to find it yet.

Thanks.

-Dave

Hi, If you want, you can use docker compose using the config I created to easily deploy HotCRP:

I successfully used it in production for a conference and it worked really well.
