#### VPS publishing

When working in a VPS environment, your personal VPS expect to find the Portal compiled sources in a local diretory inside the web hosting VPS infrascructure.

IMPORTANT: To be able to serve NG onn your VPS you need to "syncAndBuild" both jmapserver-ng and jmapserver-ng-core

To achieve this you must run this command inside the root of your local checkout of jmapserver-ng, and jmapserver-ng-core, in turn (build order is not important):

    // inside jmapserver-ng:
    ./syncAndBuild.sh <vps-prefix>

    // and then inside jmapserver-ng-core:
    ./syncAndBuild.sh <vps-prefix>

If your vps is "dev-jdoe.jmapserver.io" then you should run:

    ./syncAndBuild.sh dev-jdoe

after build, your compiled portal would be accessible at https://ng.dev-jdoe.jmapcloud.io/
