This is a membership application app written by members of Double Union, a feminist hacker/makerspace for nonbinary people and women in San Francisco.
This app is named after a famous Virginia Woolf essay, A Room of One's Own. You can learn more about it on Wikipedia!
Also, here is a puppy that is saying "arooo":
- Prospective members can apply for membership
- Current members can vote and comment on applications
- Current members can see a directory of members
- Current members adjust their dues via Stripe
- Current members can apply for scholarships
- Membership coordinators can manage member status
- Emails are sent for applicants, accepted member setup reminders, cancelling mailers, dues issues, and scholarship requests (see
mailers
folder)
The application supports three levels of membership: members, key members, and voting members, where any member can see and comment on an application, but only voting members can vote. Membership coordinators can set whether the app is accepting applications, accept or reject individual applications, manage membership levels, and review dues status.
You can see screenshots of the system here: see our Arooo announcement post.
We welcome contributions from anyone! Please see our Contributing Guide for an overview of how to help, including how to set up your development environment and run the application.
You only need this if you are deploying code, checking changes, or maintaining a production instance of arooo
Set up heroku commandline client: https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/heroku-cli
Staging: $ heroku run rails console --remote staging
Production: $ heroku run rails console --remote production
www.bugsnag.com is a heroku plugin that records errors in the production app. This is helpful for debugging. For bugsnag access, ask someone with access to the board@ section of 1Password to log into bugsnag and send you an email invite to create an account. Thank you to Bugsnag for their OSS program :)
This section only pertains if you have heroku & deployment access. Only maintainers have heroku access and can deploy.
If you are a DU member, see https://docs.google.com/document/d/19LbIYB2RDy-17UXuQx6wLgKp2EdLdqj-pg1cm3EpSb8/edit for more information on getting permission.
Both staging
and production
Heroku environments are connected to this GitHub repo, making it possible to deploy directly through the Heroku UI. To deploy:
- Staging: Merge to
main
, and your code will be automatically deployed tostaging
as soon as CI goes green. - Production: Log into Heroku, and select the production Aroo app from your dashboard. Click on "Deploy", and scroll to the bottom. There will be a place to select a branch to deploy, and a button that you can click to deploy.
Database migrations will run automatically during the release process on Heroku. This is controlled by the release
directive in our Procfile.
If you prefer to do deploys from the command line, here are the steps:
- Add Heroku remotes to your
.git/config
(typegit remote --help
for more instructions on how to configure git remote.)
[remote "production"]
url = git@heroku.com:du-arooo.git
fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/heroku/*
[remote "staging"]
url = git@heroku.com:doubleunion-staging.git
fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/heroku/*
- Pull down the latest code from
main
git checkout main
git pull --rebase origin main
- If CI tests are passing, push to the
staging
environment
git checkout main
git pull --rebase origin main
git push staging main
- If needed, perform rake tasks or set ENV variable settings on
staging
- Test staging!
username: doubleunion
password: meritocracyisajoke
- After confirming that the code works on
staging
, push it toproduction
!
git checkout main
git pull --rebase origin main
git push production main
- If needed, perform rake tasks or set ENV variable settings on
production
As of February 2023, the environment variables set in Arooo's production environment are:
# Amazon credentials. Used for email sending, and possibly other stuff.
AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID
AWS_REGION
AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY
# Error reporting
BUGSNAG_KEY
# Postgres database
DATABASE_URL
# For GitHub OAuth
GITHUB_CLIENT_KEY
GITHUB_CLIENT_SECRET
# For Google OAuth
GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID
GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET
# Same as DATABASE_URL
HEROKU_POSTGRESQL_RED_URL
# To receive dues payments via Stripe
STRIPE_PUBLISHABLE_KEY
STRIPE_SECRET_KEY
STRIPE_SIGNING_SECRET
# General Rails and Heroku configuration
CANONICAL_HOST: app.doubleunion.org
HOST_URL: app.doubleunion.org
LANG: en_US.UTF-8
RACK_ENV: production
RAILS_ENV: production
SECRET_TOKEN
You can get the current values from Heroku, either via the web UI, under Settings > Reveal Config Vars, or using the Heroku CLI: heroku config --app du-aroo
.
In your local development environment, you can set these variables in config/application.yaml
.
TODO: It would be great to document these variables further, and figure out which ones are still needed.
This app sends emails via the Amazon SES service. Look for the config.action_mailer.delivery_method
in production.rb for the precise configuration details.
If you need more information about our AWS setup, board members have AWS Console access.
Currently neither github nor google auth works on staging- we should get this working again so we can actually test.
The basic-auth login is found in https://dashboard.heroku.com/apps/doubleunion-staging/settings under BASIC_AUTH_NAME/BASIC_AUTH_PASSWORD
