This git repository is the rails application that run on LinuxFr.org.

Install

The following instructions will help you to install the Rails part of LinuxFr.org on a Debian box.

1. First install some Debian packages:

   aptitude install mysql-server mysql-client libmysql++-dev

   aptitude install build-essential openssl libreadline6 libreadline6-dev

   aptitude install curl git-core zlib1g zlib1g-dev libssl-dev libyaml-dev

   aptitude install libsqlite3-0 libsqlite3-dev sqlite3 libxml2-dev bison

2. Configure the database:

   mysql -p -u root

   > CREATE DATABASE linuxfr_rails; > GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON linuxfr_rails.* TO "linuxfr_rails"@"localhost"; > QUIT; (return to user)

   Statistics need time zone at SQL level. You'll need to population time_zone* tables.

   mysql_tzinfo_to_sql /usr/share/zoneinfo | mysql -p -u root mysql

3. Install and start redis:

   $ wget "http://redis.googlecode.com/files/redis-2.4.17.tar.gz" $ tar xzf redis-2.4.17.tar.gz $ cd redis-2.4.17 $ make (optional, takes about ten minutes, $ make test ) $ src/redis-server redis.conf

4. Install RVM (more details on https://rvm.beginrescueend.com/rvm/install/ ):

   $ bash < <(curl -s https://raw.github.com/wayneeseguin/rvm/master/binscripts/rvm-installer)

   And follow the instructions.

5. Install Ruby with RVM:

   $ rvm install 1.9.3 $ rvm use --default 1.9.3

6. Clone the repository, configure and install gems:

   $ git clone git://github.com/nono/linuxfr.org.git $ cd linuxfr.org $ cp config/database.yml{.sample,} $ cp config/secret.yml{.sample,} $ gem install bundler rake $ bundle install

7. Launch elasticsearch and create indexes:

   $ desi install $ desi start $ ./script/rails r '[Diary, News, Page, Poll, Post, Tracker, WikiPage].each {|m| m.tire.index.refresh }'

8. Finish to configure:

   $ rake db:setup (if you're updating, you'll need an other step: redis-cli flushdb)

9. Let's run it:

   $ ./script/rails server thin $ x-www-browser http://127.0.0.1:3000/

10. Create an admin account:

• Get password in the console
• Give admin role to this account with mysql linuxfr_rails mysql> UPDATE accounts SET role='admin' WHERE login='xxxxxx';
• Reload the page on the site, you should be admin.

How to run the specs

1. Be sure that redis is running and create the test database:

   $ rake db:test:prepare

2. Run spork in background:

   $ spork &

3. And now, just run rspec (and repeat this step until done):

   $ rspec spec

How to generate a CSS

CSS are written in sass and compiled with the Rails assets pipeline. If you just want to compile a CSS without installing Rails and all its dependency, you can install the sass gem and launch:

./script/compile_sass app/assets/stylesheets/application.css.scss > app.css
