After deployment
Use this checklist after yarn manage init completes.
Confirm the site is healthy
Section titled “Confirm the site is healthy”Run yarn manage status from the same repository clone. Confirm the displayed
Worker, database, media-storage state, and dashboard protection match what you
expected.
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 access-control choice.
- Choose a public theme and inspect the Web, 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. Delete or unpublish the test when finished.
Save the local connection
Section titled “Save the local connection”The clone’s ignored .microfeed/ directory remembers the instance connection.
Keep the clone on a trusted computer. If you use a different clone later, the
read-only yarn manage connect workflow can reconnect to an existing compatible
microfeed Worker.
