This is the demo app I wrote to demonstrate some of my skills for a job interviews. This app allows users to: - sign up and sign in to application - upload videos in any format FFMpeg can handle - watch the upload progress (useful for big files) - see a video thumbnail as soon as upload finish - set some title and description for the video - watch the video conversion progress: queued, converting, ready - comment the videos published - reply to other's comments, so the comments are nested ps. video conversion is done as background process(es) using Resque gem (background jobs queue/processor) Common steps to startup the app: # redis server is necessary for task queue sudo /etc/init.d/redis-server start # unicorn web server unicorn_rails -c config/unicorn.rb -E production -D # background workers RAILS_ENV=production COUNT=2 QUEUE=* rake resque:workers 2>&1 >> log/workers.production.log & That's all. Try it!
