title: Meteor: Manual Deployment
body: <p>Do you guys have any experience on manual deployment for Meteor? I'd love to hear some feedbacks.</p>
  
  <p>We have a client that has a strict IT policy. And they won't allow 3rd party to touch their servers. So we do it like this:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>Fill up some form that explains our app specs.</li>
  <li>Send them a zip of the app's source code &amp; db dump.</li>
  <li>Wait for them configure the server and test our app.</li>
  <li>Get feedbacks and send back revisions if any.</li>
  <li>Pray to whatever god we have that they manage to deploy our app.</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p><strong>Basically i want to know how to bundle a Meteor project and send it to our client for deployment with minimum effort on their side.</strong></p>
  
  <p>This used to be a pretty straightforward process with our standard LAMP stack. But things are not so simple anymore these days.</p>
