A generic rails app that makes starting a new project faster.

Init

Make a search and replace for the string "bob", if you'd like. Right now, you only need to change the db configuration and the session name located in config/database.yml and config/initializers/session_store.rb respectively.

SMTP

The SMTP configuration is in config/environments/development.rb. You need to change at least the username and password. You also need to set up the same configuration in every other environment (or at least production).

Devise

The devise configuration is in config/initializers/devise.rb. You need to change the config.mailer_sender to something like '"Name" <name@domain.com>'. You can use rails g devise:views to customize them. Read more about customizing devise here.

Database

This project uses postgres. Either change the database configuration in config/database.yml or create a postgres role with the same name as your linux user.

sudo -u postgres createuser -d username

If you're using password authentication (md5) don't forget to edit the postgres configuration (usually in /etc/postgresql/9.3/main/pg_hba.conf, replace version accordingly) to allow it - local all username md5. You have to restart postgres with sudo service postgresql restart after editing the configuration file. To create a password authenticated user:

sudo -u postgres createuser -d username
sudo -u postgres psql -d postgres -c "ALTER USER username WITH PASSWORD 'password';"

Deployment

If we have a standard deployment procedure add whatever configuration is required and describe it here. Right now we use git pull and the following is run by hand as needed:
