## Deploying Web App
## Deploying Web App & Selfhosting
The App can be used both as a Chrome Packaged App or just by hosting it on you own trusted web server.
First build and generate the `dist/` directory:
grunt
Then deploy that directoy by adding it to a local git branch. Push that branch to your node.js server and then start the server:
Then start the server and navigate to [http://localhost:8585](http://localhost:8585) (or whatever port is set using the `PORT` environment variable):
npm start
**A note on security:** The app should not be used without SSL so it's best to set up a reverse proxy or Loadbalancer with your SSL certificates. If you are not sure how to do this it might be easier to use our managed web hosting or packaged apps under [https://whiteout.io/#product](https://whiteout.io/#product).
