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**:
|
|
[RVM](https://rvm.io/rvm/install),
|
|
[Ruby 1.9.3](https://www.ruby-lang.org/en/downloads/) and
|
|
[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
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
3. Setup your development environment:
|
|
```
|
|
rake foodsoft:setup_development
|
|
```
|
|
This will interactively prompt with several questions relating to your
|
|
required environment.
|
|
|
|
4. Start rails by running:
|
|
```
|
|
bundle exec rails s
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
5. Open your favorite browser and open the web application at:
|
|
```
|
|
http://localhost:3000/
|
|
```
|
|
You might want to watch a
|
|
[kitten video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Iq5yCoHp4o)
|
|
while it's loading.
|
|
|
|
6. Login using the default credentials: `admin/secret`
|
|
|
|
7. Change the admin password, just in case.
|
|
|
|
8. Have phun!
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
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
|
|
|
|
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
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
7. (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 smtp server listening on 1025. To see the emails go to
|
|
```
|
|
http://localhost:1080
|
|
```
