The easiest way to use this is by using our Vagrantfile or using a service like Heroku\n\n## System dependencies\n\nYou must have Postgresql installed to use this application. Install it on Ubuntu with:\n```\n$ sudo apt install postgresql\n```\n\n## Configuration\nYou must install all Ruby and JavaScript dependencies before running any database migrations and before running the web app. To do this, we use [Bundler](https://bundler.io/) and [Yarn](https://yarnpkg.com/getting-started/install). (click on the links to see install instructions for each) Once you have Bundler and Yarn, run these two commands in the app directory.\n```\n$ bundle install\n$ yarn install\n```\n\n## Database creation\nTo create the necessary production database, run:\n```\n$ sudo -u postgres createdb railoverflow_production\n```\n\u003e **Note:** If you are not running in production, substitute the word `production` for your Rails environment. (`development` or `test`)\n\n## Database initialization\nTo initialize the database, you will have to migrate it. No population is needed.\n\nTo migrate the database, run:\n```\n$ RAILS_ENV=production rake db:migrate\n```\n\n\u003c!-- * Services (job queues, cache servers, search engines, etc.) --\u003e\n\n## Deployment instructions\n\n### Heroku\n\n### Manual Deploy\nRun it yourself, like this:\n```\n$ export PORT=3000 # can be any port you want, just make sure it is open and accessible to the user that will be running the application\n$ export MODE=\"production\" # can also be \"development\" or \"test\"\n$ bundle exec puma -t 5:5 -p $PORT -e $MODE\n```\n\n\u003e **Note:** The `-t 5:5` argument we sent to the `bundle exec puma` command represents the number of worker threads puma will spawn. You can set this to something else based on your system, but remember these two things:\n\u003e \n\u003e - The more threads you create, the faster your application will run, but it will also use more memory.\n\u003e - Every system has a maximum amount of threads it can run at once. Be mindful of this as it will error if you somehow go over.\n\n## Credits and License\n### Credits:\n- The logo was made by **JustMrRobBoss#2020** on Discord, here is [his Discord server](https://discord.gg/XYX3WPn).\n\n### License:\n\nThis application is licensed under the permissive [MIT license](LICENSE).","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Flizainslie%2Frail-overflow","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Flizainslie%2Frail-overflow","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Flizainslie%2Frail-overflow/lists"}
