### Preparing to deploy

You need to be in LDAP group "snowflake" and have set up an SSH key with your LDAP account.
In your ~/.ssh/config file, you should have something like:
```
Host staticiforme
HostName staticiforme.torproject.org
User <your user name>
ProxyJump people.torproject.org
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/tor
```
### Deploying
```
npm run build
```
Do a "dry run" rsync with `-n` to check that only expected files are being changed. If you don't understand why a file would be updated, you can add the `-i` option to see the reason.
```
rsync -n --delete -crv build/ staticiforme:/srv/snowflake.torproject.org/htdocs/
```
If it looks good, then repeat the rsync without `-n`.
```
rsync --delete -crv build/ staticiforme:/srv/snowflake.torproject.org/htdocs/
```
Then run the command to copy the new files to the live web servers:
```
ssh staticiforme 'static-update-component snowflake.torproject.org'
```
### Parameters
With no parameters,
snowflake uses the default relay `snowflake.freehaven.net:443` and
uses automatic signaling with the default broker at
`https://snowflake-broker.freehaven.net/`.
