# 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.
|
|
|
|
This document describes how to setup Foodsoft for development within your local
|
|
system. Another option is to use [docker for development](SETUP_DEVELOPMENT_DOCKER.md).
|
|
If instead you just want to run Foodsoft without changing its code, please refer to
|
|
[hosting](https://foodcoops.github.io/foodsoft-hosting/) or
|
|
[deployment](https://github.com/foodcoops/foodsoft/wiki/Deployment-notes).
|
|
|
|
**System requirements**:
|
|
[rbenv](https://github.com/rbenv/rbenv),
|
|
[Ruby 2.6+](https://www.ruby-lang.org/en/downloads/),
|
|
[Bundler](http://bundler.io/),
|
|
[MySQL](http://mysql.com/) / [SQLite](http://sqlite.org/),
|
|
[Redis](http://redis.io/) (optional).
|
|
|
|
### Getting started
|
|
|
|
1. Clone the repository from GitHub:
|
|
|
|
git clone https://github.com/foodcoops/foodsoft.git
|
|
|
|
This brings up the bleeding-edge development version, which might contain some unfinished parts.
|
|
If you want to be safe, choose the last release:
|
|
|
|
git checkout $(git tag -l | grep ^v | sort -rn | head -n1)
|
|
|
|
*Note:* When developing on Windows you might run into issues with shell scripts because of Git auto-crlf.
|
|
Have a look how to avoid that in the [Docker Development Setup](./SETUP_DEVELOPMENT_DOCKER.md#prerequisites-windows-only)
|
|
instructions.
|
|
|
|
1. Install and setup rbenv and Bundler. For Debian/Ubuntu:
|
|
|
|
sudo apt install rbenv
|
|
|
|
For other distributions have a look at the rbenv [documentation](https://github.com/rbenv/rbenv).
|
|
|
|
Add the following line to your `.bashrc`:
|
|
|
|
eval "$(rbenv init -)"
|
|
|
|
Install [ruby-build](https://github.com/rbenv/ruby-build):
|
|
|
|
mkdir -p "$(rbenv root)"/plugins
|
|
git clone https://github.com/rbenv/ruby-build.git "$(rbenv root)"/plugins/ruby-build
|
|
|
|
Change to the Foodsoft directory and install the [recommended](https://github.com/foodcoops/foodsoft/blob/master/.ruby-version)
|
|
Ruby version:
|
|
|
|
rbenv install "$(cat .ruby-version)"
|
|
|
|
Now you can install [Bundler](https://bundler.io/):
|
|
|
|
rbenv exec gem install bundler
|
|
|
|
1. Install system dependencies.
|
|
|
|
For Debian/Ubuntu, that's:
|
|
|
|
sudo apt install libv8-dev default-libmysqlclient-dev libxml2-dev libxslt1-dev libffi-dev libreadline-dev libmagic-dev
|
|
|
|
For CentOS/Redhat you need:
|
|
|
|
sudo yum install v8 community-mysql-devel libxml2-devel libxslt-devel libffi-devel readline-devel file-devel
|
|
|
|
1. Install Ruby dependencies:
|
|
|
|
rbenv exec bundle install
|
|
|
|
1. Setup your development environment:
|
|
|
|
rbenv exec rails foodsoft:setup_development
|
|
|
|
This will interactively prompt with several questions relating to your
|
|
required environment.
|
|
|
|
**Important**: After selecting your database type, `rails` will create the file `config/database.yml`,
|
|
which then then be edited with working `username` and `password` credentials for the database. These fields
|
|
must be added for *development* AND (temporary) *test* databases. Then continue with confirmation in rails dialogue.
|
|
|
|
1. Start rails by running:
|
|
|
|
rbenv exec rails s
|
|
|
|
1. Open your favorite browser and open the web browser at:
|
|
|
|
http://localhost:3000/
|
|
|
|
You might want to watch a [kitten video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Iq5yCoHp4o) while it's loading.
|
|
|
|
1. Login using the default credentials: `admin/secret`
|
|
|
|
1. Change the admin password, just in case.
|
|
|
|
1. Have phun!
|
|
|
|
For running integration tests, you also need the Chromium/Chrome web browser.
|
|
On Debian that would be `apt-get install chromium`, on Ubuntu
|
|
`sudo apt-get install chromium-browser`.
|
|
|
|
### Manual configuration
|
|
|
|
The rails 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 database**
|
|
|
|
Create the database configuration from the default:
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
1. **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.
|
|
|
|
1. **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.
|
|
|
|
1. **Create database (schema) and load defaults**
|
|
|
|
rbenv exec rails db:setup
|
|
|
|
With this, you also get a ready to go user with username 'admin' and password 'secret'.
|
|
|
|
1. (optional) Get **background jobs** done
|
|
|
|
Time intensive tasks may block the web request. To run these in a separate task, you can install Redis and enable Resque:
|
|
|
|
* Comment `Resque.inline = true` in `config/environments/development.rb`
|
|
* Install [Redis](http://redis.io/) (Debian/Ubuntu package `redis-server`)
|
|
* Run the worker:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
rbenv exec rails resque:work QUEUE=*
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To have look on the current queue, failed jobs etc start the resque server with
|
|
`resque-web`.
|
|
|
|
1. (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 `rbenv exec gem install mailcatcher`
|
|
and start the service with:
|
|
|
|
mailcatcher
|
|
|
|
From now on you have a smtp server listening on 1025. To see the emails go to:
|
|
|
|
http://localhost:1080
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Docker
|
|
|
|
To avoid having to go through setting up all dependencies, you can also run Foodsoft
|
|
within a docker image. While the default [`Dockerfile`](../Dockerfile) is setup for production,
|
|
[`Dockerfile-dev`](../Dockerfile-dev) is meant for development. Even better, you can
|
|
use docker-compose (using [`docker-compose-dev.yml`](../docker-compose-dev.yml)) to
|
|
setup the whole stack at once.
|
|
|
|
See [Setup Development Docker](./SETUP_DEVELOPMENT_DOCKER.md) for a detailed description. |
