After deployment
Use this checklist after deployment completes.
Confirm the site is healthy
Section titled “Confirm the site is healthy”Run npx @microfeed/cli manage status. Confirm the displayed hosted
application, database, media-storage state, and dashboard protection match what
you expected. If you deployed from a Git-cloned microfeed source repository,
yarn manage status runs its local version of the same check.
Open these public addresses:
/for the website./rss/for RSS./json/for JSON.
An empty new feed is normal.
Sign in and personalize the channel
Section titled “Sign in and personalize the channel”Open the dashboard URL printed by the CLI. Then:
- Add a channel title, description, image, and publisher details.
- Review the Site access mode: Public, Headless, or Offline.
- Choose a public theme and inspect the website, RSS, and JSON links.
- If R2 is enabled, upload a small image to test media storage.
Publish a test item
Section titled “Publish a test item”Create a clearly labeled test item, preview its public page, and check the RSS
and JSON feeds. You can publish it yourself in the Admin dashboard. To publish
with a coding agent, first enable API access and connect the
CLI, then ask the agent to use the official
@microfeed/cli. Inside a
Git-cloned microfeed source repository with installed dependencies, the agent
may use yarn microfeed as a shortcut; otherwise it should run the published
npx @microfeed/cli command. You remain responsible for browser authorization
and approval of destructive actions. Delete or unpublish the test when finished.
Next: compare the dashboard and agent publishing workflows.
Save the local connection
Section titled “Save the local connection”The published launcher stores instance connections in the platform microfeed
configuration directory, separately from its replaceable source cache. A
Git-cloned microfeed source repository instead uses its ignored .microfeed/
directory. Keep either workspace on a trusted computer; the read-only
connect workflow can reconnect to an existing compatible microfeed Worker
when local state is unavailable.
