Production

This payara environment only run the production domain through systemd service. Thus, systemctl start payara means asadmin start-domain production. Thus, the default payara jvm_options memory options are large such as

# Original Configuration
JAVA_HEAPSIZE="2g"
MAX_METASPACE_SIZE="2g"

However, this is too much for my personal computer, so I reduce them to

NEW_JAVA_HEAPSIZE="1g"
MAX_METASPACE_SIZE="512m"

Therefore, if one would like to deploy it within a production environment, please add the relevant memory size in configure/CONFIG_SITE.local. In addtion, the default MASTER and ADMIN passwords are not good, so, please use the secure passowrds for them also. Here is the example CONFIG_SITE.local file as follows:

# Revert the original PayaraConfiguration
JAVA_HEAPSIZE="2g"
NEW_JAVA_HEAPSIZE="2g"
MAX_METASPACE_SIZE="2g"

MASTER_PASSWORD:=thisissecurepassword
ADMIN_PASSWORD:=thisissecurepassword

Note that _PASSWORD varialbes within several places in Makefile environment through variables and shell environment. Please make sure special characters can be handled by them together properly.
