Glitch is a wonderful service which makes it easy to get sites and applications up and running quickly. Know what else is wonderful? Ruby! This repo is intended to provide a cairn for getting a Ruby app (in this case Sinatra), running on Glitch.
The glitch.json file tells Glitch how to setup and launch your application.
The format is standard
JSON,
and only has a few keys that I am aware of. The information below is taken
from a
post
by Annaia Berry.
{
// What to run before the first time this app is launched?
"install": "bundle install",
// How to launch the app itself. $PORT is set at runtime. It is almost
// always 3000, but better safe than sorry.
"start": "bundle exec rackup config.ru -p $PORT -s thin -o 0.0.0.0",
// Which files to watch for changes?
"watch": {
// When to re-run the install.
"install": {
// When these files change...
"include": [
"^glitch\\.json$",
"^Gemfile.lock",
"^\\.env$"
],
// But not these files.
"exclude": [ ]
},
// When to restart the app.
"restart": {
// When these files change...
"include": [
".rb$"
],
// But not these files.
"exclude": [
"^vendor/bundle"
]
},
// Maximum frequency at which to restart the app, in milliseconds.
"throttle": 1000
}
