Website

NOTE: This repository is no longer maintained. It has been publicly archived to serve as a public resource.

This is the code that powers the website and backend services of the Unicraft Network, the Minecraft server home of many Chilean universities, in alliance with ElMedievo.

Install the following services and configure them to run on their default ports:

• Ruby 2.6.6.
  • Windows: Ruby Installer is recommended. Default options should do fine.
  • OS X: RVM is recommended over the default OS X Ruby. Here's a one-liner: \curl -sSL https://get.rvm.io | bash -s stable --ruby.
• MySQL 14.14 or later.
• NodeJS 10.20.1 or later.
• Yarn 1.22.4 or later. Website was built using rails version 6.0.2.2, so you will require Yarn for webpacker to function properly.

Ensure bundler is installed: gem install bundle.

Run bundle install to download and install dependencies.

• If installing the mysql2 gem through bundler gives you problems, consider installing libmysqlclient-dev using the following shell command:
  • sudo apt-get install libmysqlclient-dev and then run bundle install again.

Database setup

Start MySQL with default settings.

Then, create a database.yml file wtihin the config/ directory, with the following content in it:

default: &default
adapter: mysql2
encoding: utf8
username: MYSQL USERNAME
password: USER PASSWORD
host: 127.0.0.1
port: 3306

development:
  <<: *default
  database: web_development

# Warning: The database defined as "test" will be erased and
# re-generated from your development database when you run "rake".
# Do not set this db to the same as development or production.
test:
  <<: *default
  database: web_test

production:
  <<: *default
  database: web_development

Replace MYSQL USERNAME and USER PASSWORD for the corresponding MySQL credentials on your end.

Run the following shell commands from within the Website repo, in order to create the database & complete its migration:

rake db:create db:migrate
RAILS_ENV=production rake db:create db:migrate db:seed

Environment Variables

In production, the environment variable ENV['MAIL_PASSWORD'] is to be defined, as it is the password to the support email which ActionMailer will use to send confirmations, recovery tokens, notifications, etc. via email.

Rails Environments

Run the following shell commands from the Website repo to start all the backend services in the different environments.

Development

rails server -b 0.0.0.0 -p 80 -e development

Production

rake secret
export SECRET_KEY_BASE=output-of-rake-secret
rake assets:precompile RAILS_ENV=production
rails server -b 0.0.0.0 -p 80 -e production

In case you would like to destroy users who have failed their email verification by exceeding devise's tolerance threshold, you will need to let the following users rake task running:

rake ucn:users
