LinuxFr.org

LinuxFr.org is a French-speaking website about Free software / hardware / culture / stuff.

This git repository is the rails application that run on LinuxFr.org.

Install

The following instructions will help you to install the Rails part of LinuxFr.org on a Debian box.

1. First install some Debian packages:

# aptitude install mysql-server mysql-client libmysql++-dev git-core
# aptitude install build-essential openssl libreadline-dev nodejs-legacy
# aptitude install curl libcurl4-openssl-dev zlib1g zlib1g-dev libssl-dev
# aptitude install libxml2-dev libxslt-dev autoconf libgmp-dev libyaml-dev
# aptitude install ncurses-dev bison automake libtool imagemagick libc6-dev
# aptitude install hunspell hunspell-fr-comprehensive redis-server ruby

Note: you can use libcurl4-gnutls-dev instead of libcurl4-openssl-dev.

2. Configure the database:

# mysql -p -u root
<enter your root password for mysql>
> CREATE DATABASE linuxfr_rails CHARACTER SET utf8mb4;
> CREATE USER linuxfr_rails IDENTIFIED BY 'asecretpassword';
> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON linuxfr_rails.* TO "linuxfr_rails"@"localhost";
> QUIT;
(return to user)

Statistics need time zone at SQL level. You'll need to population time_zone* tables.
# mysql_tzinfo_to_sql /usr/share/zoneinfo | mysql -p -u root mysql

3. Clone the repository, configure and install gems:

$ git clone git://github.com/linuxfrorg/linuxfr.org.git
$ cd linuxfr.org
$ bin/setup

If you are updating, run instead:

$ bin/update

4. Let's run it:

$ bin/rails server
$ x-www-browser http://127.0.0.1:3000/

5. Create an admin account:

• Create an account
• Get confirmation link in the console and confirm the account
• Get password in the console
• Give admin role to this account with mysql -u linuxfr_rails linuxfr_rails mysql> UPDATE accounts SET role='admin' WHERE login='xxxxxx';
• Reload the page on the site, you should be admin.
