🚀 Deploy to Staging: Quick Start

Deploy your chat application to https://staging.chat.daza.ar

⚡ Quick Deploy (First Time)

1. Run Setup (One-Time)

# Create secrets in Google Cloud
./setup-secrets.sh

This will ask for:

• Email: Your login email
• Password: Your login password (will be hashed)

2. Verify Domain Ownership

Before deploying, verify your domain in Google Cloud Console:

1. Go to: https://console.cloud.google.com/run/domains
2. Click "Add Mapping" button
3. Enter domain: staging.chat.daza.ar
4. If not verified, you'll be redirected to verify via Google Search Console
5. Add the TXT record shown to your DNS
6. Wait for verification to complete (5-10 minutes)

3. Deploy

# Deploy to Cloud Run
./deploy-staging.sh

4. Configure DNS

Add this CNAME record to your DNS provider:

Type: CNAME
Name: staging.chat
Value: ghs.googlehosted.com
TTL: 3600

For daza.ar domain, this would typically be:

• Login to your DNS provider (Cloudflare, Namecheap, etc.)
• Add a CNAME record
• Point staging.chat.daza.ar to ghs.googlehosted.com

5. Wait & Test

• DNS propagation: 5-30 minutes
• SSL certificate: 15-60 minutes
