Description

This issue would look into and apply all needed settings such that the frontend can be deployed outside of a Netlify context. Going through the Nuxt docs for deployment would be the best place to start with this.

Contribution

I'll work on this, but getting support/suggestions would be welcome!

Is anything actually needed for this at this point, @wkyoshida?

..such that the frontend can be deployed outside of a Netlify context..

I'd say the scope for this issue has likely changed now, as we've since decided to stay on Netlify, but yea - we could use this issue still for the additional configurations we'd need. Not sure all that would actually be though, but at least one thing comes to mind:

• Configure so that we are not deploying production activist.org for every commit in main

Not sure if Netlify is able to base production deployments based on GitHub Releases, but it does look like:

• We are at least able to lock which build is live in production
  • [ref1]
  • This could be the interim solution
• Later though, we might be able to potentially implement this functionality ourselves by having a GitHub Action that triggers on GitHub Releases and does a manual production deployment via the Netlify CLI:
  • [ref2]
  • [ref3]
