Goal
Make it to the best Ruby on Rails Blog system in the world.
Running in development mode
WBlog MUST run in Linux or OSX. I assume you are using OS X 10.
You can run it like a Ruby on Rails project as usual:
- Check dependencies
ruby -v
# 2.2.3
postgres --version
# 9.x.x
- Clone it
git clone git@github.com:windy/wblog.git
cd wblog
- Install dependencies & configure
gem install bundler
bundle install
cp config/application.yml.example config/application.yml
cp config/database.yml.example config/database.yml
Update application.yml & database.yml 's content as you need
- Start it
rails s
Open browser with http://localhost:3000
If there is any error found, please check your database's user and password.
- Post the first blog
visit: http://localhost:3000/admin, input your username and password configurated in application.yml.
then, post a new article.
OK, That's all.
Deployment
WBlog uses mina as automation deployment tool, uses unicorn as the Rack container.
WBlog recommends nginx as reverse proxy server.
It will be very fast.
Ruby on Rails project deployment is another topic, I would NOT talk it here.
