base on Computing-focused community centered around link aggregation and discussion ### Lobsters Rails Project [](https://github.com/lobsters/lobsters/actions/workflows/check.yml) This is the [quite sad](https://web.archive.org/web/20230213161624/https://old.reddit.com/r/rails/comments/6jz7tq/source_code_lobsters_a_hacker_news_clone_built/) source code to the [ghost town](https://twitter.com/webshitweekly/status/1399935275057389571) at [https://lobste.rs](https://lobste.rs). It is a Rails codebase and uses a SQL (MariaDB in production) backend for the database. You are free to use this code to start your own [sister site](https://github.com/lobsters/lobsters/wiki) because the code is available under a [permissive license](https://github.com/lobsters/lobsters/blob/master/LICENSE) (3-clause BSD). We welcome bug reports and code contributions that help use improve [lobste.rs](https://lobste.rs). As a volunteer project we're reluctant to take on work that's not useful to our site, so please understand if we don't want to adopt your custom feature. #### Contributing bugfixes and new features We'd love to have your help. Please see the [CONTRIBUTING](https://github.com/lobsters/lobsters/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md) file for details. If you have questions, there is usually someone in [our chat room](https://lobste.rs/chat) who's familiar with the code. #### Development setup Use the steps below for a local install or [lobsters-ansible](https://github.com/lobsters/lobsters-ansible) for our production deployment config. There's an external project [docker-lobsters](https://github.com/utensils/docker-lobsters) if you want to use Docker. * Install and start MariaDB. On Linux use [your package manager](https://mariadb.com/kb/en/distributions-which-include-mariadb/). On MacOS you can [install with brew](https://mariadb.com/kb/en/installing-mariadb-on-macos-using-homebrew/). On Windows there's an [installer](https://mariadb.org/download/?t=mariadb&p=mariadb&r=11.5.2&os=Linux&cpu=x86_64&pkg=tar_gz&i=systemd&mirror=starburst_stlouis). * Start the mariadb server using one of the [methods mentioned in the mariadb knowledge base](https://mariadb.com/kb/en/starting-and-stopping-mariadb-automatically/). * Open the console using `mariadb`, and set the `root` user password (type `ctrl-d` to exit afterwards) ```sql ALTER USER 'root'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'localdev'; ``` * Install the Ruby version specified in [.ruby-version](https://github.com/lobsters/lobsters/blob/master/.ruby-version) * Checkout the lobsters git tree from Github ```sh $ git clone [email protected]:lobsters/lobsters.git $ cd lobsters lobsters$ ``` * Install Nodejs, needed (or other execjs) for uglifier ```sh Fedora: sudo yum install nodejs Ubuntu: sudo apt-get install nodejs OSX: brew install nodejs ``` * Run `rails credentials:edit` to create and edit your encrypted credentials file. This is where you store API keys for external services and features like linking accounts. Copy and paste the contents of `config/credentials.yml.enc.sample` in. On setup, Rails will give you new random value for `secret_key_base` and you can use `rails secret` any time you need to generate another. * Run `bin/setup` to install dependencies and set up db ```sh lobsters$ bin/setup ``` * On your production server, copy `config/initializers/production.rb.sample` to `config/initalizers/production.rb` and customize it with your site's `domain` and `name`. (You don't need this on your dev machine). * On your personal computer, you probably want to add some sample data. ```sh lobsters$ rails fake_data ``` * Run the Rails server in development mode. You should be able to login to `http://localhost:3000` with your new `test` user: ```sh lobsters$ rails server ``` * Deploying the site in production requires setting up a web server and running the app in production mode. There are more tools and options available than we can describe; find a guide or an expert. The lobsters-ansible repo has our config files to crib from. Some app-specific notes: * Set up crontab or another scheduler to run regular jobs: ``` */5 * * * * cd /path/to/lobsters && env RAILS_ENV=production sh -c 'bundle exec ruby script/mail_new_activity; bundle exec ruby script/mastodon_sync.rb; bundle exec ruby script/traffic_range' ``` * On production, run `rails credentials:edit` to set up the credentials there, like you did for development. On setup, Rails will give you new random value for `secret_key_base` and you can use `rails secret` any time you need to generate another. Never `git commit` or share your `config/credentials.yml.enc`! * You probably want to use [git-imerge](https://lobste.rs/s/dbm2d4) to pull in changes from Lobsters to your site. #### Administration Basic moderation happens on-site, but many administrative tasks require use of the rails console in production. Administrators can create and edit tags at `/tags`.
