🚀 Deployment

1. Clone this repository, and enter this function folder:

$ git clone https://github.com/open-runtimes/examples.git && cd examples
$ cd node/send_email_with_mailgun

2. Enter this function folder and build the code:

docker run --rm --interactive --tty --volume $PWD:/usr/code openruntimes/node:v2-17.0 sh /usr/local/src/build.sh

As a result, a code.tar.gz file will be generated.

3. Start the Open Runtime:

docker run -p 3000:3000 -e INTERNAL_RUNTIME_ENTRYPOINT=src/index.js -e INTERNAL_RUNTIME_KEY=secret-key --rm --interactive --tty --volume $PWD/code.tar.gz:/tmp/code.tar.gz:ro openruntimes/node:v2-17.0 sh /usr/local/src/start.sh

Your function is now listening on port 3000, and you can execute it by sending POST request with appropriate authorization headers. To learn more about runtime, you can visit NodeJS runtime README.
