GeekSpeak is a technology radio show which consits of a group of Geeks covering news of the week, doing interviews, and taking listener questions.
The GeekSpeak.org site - allows the creation of episodes, episodes have participants and bits. A bit is a title (required), a link, and content. Bits are ordered to represent when they were covered on the radio show. Episodes can also have images and, of course, audio files.
brew install postgres
- Install rbenv
- In the source directory - look at
.ruby_versionfor the current version (in this example 2.2.4) and make sure it is installed,
rbenv install 2.2.4
- in-place-editing
- ActiveAdmin (Thanks Ryan) - but I have been moving away from AA as custom forms look better and can increase flow.
- Capistrono for deploying (again, thanks Ryan)
- Unicorn (NginX and Unicorn on Digital Ocean)
- We host GeekSpeak.org on Digital Ocean.
- Checkout our Gemfile for a list of other stuff we are using.
To suggest changes or report bugs please create an issue on github.
This codebase is not really generic enough to run other Podcasts without a bit of work. If you are intersted in doing so please contact me so I can help with the "generification" of the system. - it is on my long term todo list.
We use Capistrano - to install on a new machine we will need the new machine to be able to read github public table. Run ssh-agent
ssh-agent
ssh-add -l
If you do not have an identity on your local machine you will need to go through the process of making sure both your local rsa pub is on Github as you, and also that you have that idenity added to the agent
ssh-add
(on a Mac, you can get the password for the private key be looking in keychain)
On the new machine put the secrets.yml and database.yml files in geekspeak.org/shared/config
Until now GeekSpeak.org has been using rvm (ruby version manager), but we are switching to rbenv. brew install rbenv
1.9.2 ruby can no longer be installed on El Capitan.. so switching to 1.9.3-p551
rbenv install 1.9.3-p551 - the .ruby-version file specifies this version
gem install bundler (relaunch your term)
bundle install
'rbenv rehash'
You need postgres db installed on the target machine - for ubuntu
sudo apt install postgresql postgresql-contrib libpq-dev
Then start the service
sudo systemctl start postgresql@12-main
Create a postgres database with the name geekspeak_org, with owner geekspeak_org - and set up a pw.
sudo -u postgres psql
postgres=# create database geekspeak_org_production;
postgres=# create user geekspeak_org with encrypted password 'mypass';
postgres=# grant all privileges on database geekspeak_org_production to geekspeak_org;
Get a backup of the GeekSpeak database (example: "2016-01-02_geekspeak.org_production") and import it into running database:
psql -h localhost -d geekspeak_org_production -U geekspeak_org -f 2016-01-02_geekspeak.org_production
It looks like we need Node on the box to.
sudo apt-get install nodejs
sudo apt install nginx
If Puma goes down, when it is not a sysdemon
this seemed to do the trick
~/apps/geekspeak.org/current$ bundle exec puma -C /mnt/volume-sfo2-01/geekspeak-shared/puma.rb --daemon
