README for DEVELopment Project Setup
====================================
Gratulations, you have successfully cloned the foodsoft project
from the git repository. Now you are only a few steps away from
trying it out and then jumping into development. (This manual presumes
you have ruby and rails setup.)
(1) Configure datebase
----------------------
Create the database configuration from the default:
cp config/database.yml.SAMPLE config/database.yml
If you are fine with using a file-based sqlite database you are all set.
The sqlite files (development/test/production) will reside in the "db" directory.
Otherwise you would want to edit database.yml to suit your needs (MySQL whatever).
(2) Configure development environment
-------------------------------------
Again, you need to create your own copy of the default configuration:
cp config/environments/development.rb.SAMPLE config/environments/development.rb
Edit development.rb to specify your settings (at least the ActionMailer SMTP settings).
If you just leave the file as is, emails will not work but everything else should be okay.
(3) Foodsoft settings
---------------------
You need to create your own copy of the foodsoft configuration settings:
cp config/app_config.yml.SAMPLE config/app_config.yml
Edit app_config.yml to suit your needs or just keep the defaults for now.
(4) Secret Token
-------------------
The user session are stored in cookies. Do avoid misusing the cookies and its sensitive information, rails
will encrypt it with a token. So copy the config file
cp config/initializers/secret_token.rb.SAMPLE config/initializers/secret_token.rb
and modify the token!!
(5) Required ruby and gems
-------------------
We recommend to use rvm (https://rvm.beginrescueend.com/). Install rvm and get the latest ruby (>= 1.9.3).
If installed you only need to install the gem bundler:
gem install bundler
After that you get the other gems easily with (from project root):
bundle install
(6) Create database (schema) and load defaults
--------------------------
rake db:setup
With this, you also get a ready to go user with username 'admin' and password 'secret'.
(7) Try it out!
---------------
Start the WEBrick server to try it out:
bundle exec rails s
(8) (optional) Get background jobs done
---------------------------------------
We use for time intensive tasks a background job queue, at the moment resque with redis as key/value store.
Install redis (in ubuntu the package redis-server works out of the box) and start the resque worker with:
rake resque:work QUEUE=foodsoft_notifier
To have look on the current queue, failed jobs etc start the resque server with
resque-web
(9) (optional) View mails in browser instead in your logs
---------------------------------------------------------
We use mailcatcher in development mode to view all delivered mails in a browser interface.
Just install mailcatcher with gem install mailcatcher and start the service with
mailcatcher
From now on you have a smpt server listening on 1025. To see the emails go to
http://localhost:1080

Getting foodsoft running for development
========================================
Gratulations, if you read this file locally, you have successfully cloned the
foodsoft project from the git repository. Now you are only a few steps away
from trying it out and then jumping into development.
**System requirements**:

[Bundler](http://bundler.io/).
Getting started

0. Clone the repository from GitHub:
```
git clone https://github.com/foodcoops/foodsoft.git
```
1. Install RVM and Ruby 1.9.3 (if you have not done so before):
```
\curl -L https://get.rvm.io | bash
source ~/.rvm/scripts/rvm
rvm install 1.9.3
```
2. Install Ruby dependencies:
```
bundle install
```

Manual configuration
--------------------
The rake task `foodsoft:setup_development` helps you to setup foodsoft.
If you want to have more control, you can do these steps manually as
explained here.
1. **Configure datebase**
Create the database configuration from the default:
```sh
cp config/database.yml.SQLite_SAMPLE config/database.yml
```
If you are fine with using a file-based sqlite database you are all set.
The sqlite files (development/test/production) will reside in the "db"
directory. Otherwise you would want to copy one of the other
"database.yml.*_SAMPLE" files and edit database.yml to suit your needs.
2. **Configure development environment**
Again, you need to create your own copy of the default configuration:
```
cp config/environments/development.rb.SAMPLE config/environments/development.rb
```
Edit development.rb to specify your settings (at least the ActionMailer SMTP
settings). If you just leave the file as is, emails will not work but
everything else should be okay.
3. **Foodsoft settings**
You need to create your own copy of the foodsoft configuration settings:
```
cp config/app_config.yml.SAMPLE config/app_config.yml
```
Edit app_config.yml to suit your needs or just keep the defaults for now.
4. **Secret token**
The user session are stored in cookies. Do avoid misusing the cookies and
its sensitive information, rails will encrypt it with a token. So copy the
config file
```
cp config/initializers/secret_token.rb.SAMPLE config/initializers/secret_token.rb
```
and modify the token!! You can run `bundle exec rake secret`
5. **Create database (schema) and load defaults**
```
rake db:setup
```
With this, you also get a ready to go user with username 'admin' and
password 'secret'.
6. (optional) Get **background jobs** done
