LinuxFr.org

LinuxFr.org is a french web site speaking of Linux and Free Software.

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

    aptitude install libxslt-dev autoconf libc6-dev ncurses-dev automake libtool

    aptitude install imagemagick hunspell hunspell-fr subversion

    aptitude install openjdk-6-jdk tcl8.5

  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:

  • Create an account
  • Get confirmation link in the console and confirm the 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
