## Deploying Super Graph
How do I deploy the Super Graph service with my existing rails app? You have several options here. Esentially you need to ensure your app's session cookie will be passed to this service.
### Custom Docker Image
Create a `Dockerfile` like the one below to roll your own
custom Super Graph docker image. And to build it `docker build -t my-super-graph .`
```docker
FROM dosco/super-graph:latest
WORKDIR /app
COPY *.yml ./
```
### Deploy under a subdomain
For this to work you have to ensure that the option `:domain => :all` is added to your rails app config `Application.config.session_store` this will cause your rails app to create session cookies that can be shared with sub-domains. More info here <http://excid3.com/blog/sharing-a-devise-user-session-across-subdomains-with-rails-3/>
### With an NGINX loadbalancer
I'm sure you know how to configure it so that the Super Graph endpoint path `/api/v1/graphql` is routed to wherever you have this service installed within your architecture.
### On Kubernetes
If your Rails app runs on Kubernetes then ensure you have an ingress config deployed that points the path to the service that you have deployed Super Graph under.
### JWT tokens (Auth0, etc)
In that case deploy under a subdomain and configure this service to use JWT authentication. You will need the public key file or secret key. Ensure your web app passes the JWT token with every GQL request in the Authorize header as a `bearer` token.
## Developing Super Graph
If you want to build and run Super Graph from code then the below commands will build the web ui and launch Super Graph in developer mode with a watcher to rebuild on code changes. And the demo rails app is also launched to make it essier to test changes.

## How to deploy Super Graph
Since you're reading this you're probably considering deploying Super Graph. You're in luck it's really easy and there are several ways to choose from. Keep in mind Super Graph can be used as a pre-built docker image or you can easily customize it and build your own docker image.
### Alongside an existing Rails app
Super Graph can read Rails session cookies. Like those created by authentication gems (Devise or Warden). Based on how you've configured your Rails app the cookie can be signed, encrypted, both, include the user ID or just have the ID of the session. If you have choosen to use Redis or Memcache as your session store then Super Graph can read the session cookie and then lookup the user in the session store. In short it works really well with any kind of Rails app setup.
For any of this to work Super Graph must be deployed in a way that make the browser sent your apps cookie to it along with the GraphQL query. This means Super Graph should be on the same domain as your app or a subdomain.
::: tip I need an example
Say your Rails app runs on `myrailsapp.com` then Super Graph should be on the same domain or on a subdomain like `graphql.myrailsapp.com`. If you choose subdomain read below.
:::
### Custom Docker Image
You might find the need to customize the Super Graph config file to fit your app and then package it into a docker image. This is easy to do below is an example `Dockerfile` to do exactly this. And to build it `docker build -t my-super-graph .`
```docker
FROM dosco/super-graph:latest
WORKDIR /app
COPY *.yml ./
```
### Deploy under a subdomain
For this to work you have to ensure that the option `:domain => :all` is added to your Rails app config `Application.config.session_store` this will cause your rails app to create session cookies that can be shared with sub-domains. More info here [/sharing-a-devise-user-session-across-subdomains-with-rails](http://excid3.com/blog/sharing-a-devise-user-session-across-subdomains-with-rails-3/)
### With an NGINX loadbalancer
If you're infrastructure is fronted by NGINX then it should be configured so that all requests to your GraphQL API path are proxyed to Super Graph. In the example NGINX config below all requests to the path `/api/v1/graphql` are routed to wherever you have Super Graph installed within your architecture. This example is derived from the config file example at [/microservices-nginx-gateway/nginx.conf](https://github.com/launchany/microservices-nginx-gateway/blob/master/nginx.conf)
```nginx
# Configuration for the server
server {
# Running port
listen 80;
# Proxy the graphql api path to Super Graph
location /api/v1/graphql {
proxy_pass http://super-graph-service:8080;
proxy_redirect off;
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Host $server_name;
}
# Proxying all other paths to your Rails app
location / {
proxy_pass http://your-rails-app:3000;
proxy_redirect off;
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Host $server_name;
}
}
```
### On Kubernetes
If your Rails app runs on Kubernetes then ensure you have an ingress config deployed that points the path to the service that you have deployed Super Graph under.
#### Ingress config
```yaml
apiVersion: extensions/v1beta1
kind: Ingress
metadata:
name: simple-rails-app
annotations:
nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/rewrite-target: /
spec:
rules:
- host: myrailsapp.com
http:
paths:
- path: /api/v1/graphql
backend:
serviceName: graphql-service
servicePort: 8080
- path: /
backend:
serviceName: rails-app
servicePort: 3000
```
#### Service and deployment config
```yaml
apiVersion: v1
kind: Service
metadata:
name: graphql-service
labels:
run: super-graph
spec:
ports:
- port: 8080
protocol: TCP
selector:
run: super-graph
---
apiVersion: apps/v1
kind: Deployment
metadata:
name: super-graph
spec:
selector:
matchLabels:
run: super-graph
replicas: 2
template:
metadata:
labels:
run: super-graph
spec:
containers:
- name: super-graph
image: docker.io/dosco/super-graph:latest
ports:
- containerPort: 8080
```
### JWT tokens (Auth0, etc)
In that case deploy under a subdomain and configure this service to use JWT authentication. You will need the public key file or secret key. Ensure your web app passes the JWT token with every GQL request in the Authorize header as a `bearer` token.
