What is Akeneo Development stack
Akeneo Development stack is a combination of an Akeneo development environment itself Gitlab, SMTP server, MySQL, Nginx and LetsEncrypt.
TryDirect will automatically create 3 VPS instances and network in the selected cloud. The platform will deploy the Akeneo development stack on two of those three VPS instances.

- Server 1 - Gitlab VPS with basic CI/CD preconfigured
- Server 2 - development VPS which includes: Akeneo PIM Community Standard in debug mode, MySQL 5.7, Nginx latest stable + LetsEncrypt certbot.
- Server 3 - production VPS which includes: Akeneo PIM Community Standard, MySQL 5.7, Nginx latest stable + LetsEncrypt certbot.
How Akeneo Development workflow works
Here is how the development workflow model works:
- The owner invites developer within Gitlab
- Developer clones project
- Developer pushes changes
- Development server updated automatically by commit from the dev branch
- The owner can merge dev to production branch and trigger production upgrade
Servers will be accessible by subdomain names, for example, if the base domain is mydomain.com:
- git.mydomain.com - instance with Gitlab
- dev.mydomain.com - instance with Akeneo (dev git branch), development mode
- prod.mydomain.com - instance with Akeneo (prod git branch), the production model

knockd is a port-knock server. It listens to all traffic on an ethernet (or PPP) interface, looking for special knock sequences of port-hits. A client makes these port-hits by sending a TCP (or UDP) packet to a port on the server. This port need not be open -- since knockd listens at the link-layer level, it sees all traffic even if it's destined for a closed port. When the server detects a specific sequence of port-hits, it runs a command defined in its configuration file. This can be used to open up holes in a firewall for quick access.
