The recommended way to run Foodsoft in production is using docker. Alternative options are discussed in the wiki. If you have any questions, please have a look at the forum.
This section is a work in progress.
You can use the official production docker image. If you want to build the image yourself instead, run:
docker build --tag foodsoft:latest --rm .
You'll need to set at least the following environment variables:
SECRET_KEY_BASE
- random string of 30+ characters, tryrake secret
DATABASE_URL
- pointing to your MySQL installation (mysql2://user:pass@mysql.host/foodsoftdb?encoding=utf8
)REDIS_URL
- pointing to your Redis instance (redis://redis.host:6379
)
You'll also need to supply the Foodsoft configuration file, for example by
mounting it as a volume. Copy config/app_config.yml.SAMPLE
to config/app_config.yml
and customize the settings.
Then run the webserver, exposing port 3000 on the current host:
docker run --name foodsoft_web -p 3000 \
-e SECRET_KEY_BASE -e DATABASE_URL -e REDIS_URL -e RAILS_FORCE_SSL=false \
-v `pwd`/config/app_config.yml:/usr/src/app/config/app_config.yml:ro \
foodsoft:latest
This should get you started. But first you'll need to populate the database:
docker run --name foodsoft_setup --rm \
-e SECRET_KEY_BASE -e DATABASE_URL -e REDIS_URL \
-v `pwd`/config/app_config.yml:/usr/src/app/config/app_config.yml:ro \
foodsoft:latest bundle exec rake db:setup
To run the worker (recommended!), supply a different command (see Procfile for other types):
docker run --name foodsoft_worker \
-e SECRET_KEY_BASE -e DATABASE_URL -e REDIS_URL \
-v `pwd`/config/app_config.yml:/usr/src/app/config/app_config.yml:ro \
foodsoft:latest ./proc-start worker
To also run the cronjobs, start the previous command but substituting
worker
with cron
. That should give you the ingredients for a production-setup.
With the help of a front-end webserver doing ssl, of course.
In practice, you'd probably want to use docker-compose. If you know Docker well enough, you'll have no problem to set this up. For inspiration, look at the foodcoops.net production setup.
