Running

Rename .env_example to .env and then run:

$ bundle install

Then to boot simply run:

bundle exec foreman s

Deploying

Note: Do not deploy this with the same design. Change the assets and the css.

You'll need three things;

1. Server with dokku-alt or Heroku
2. Redis
3. MongoDB

Before doing anything make sure rename .env_example to .env and edit the values to match your own.

With Heroku

Run:

$ bundle exec mina heroku:setup

The mina script will setup redis, mongodb, and push the env vars.

Then push it:

$ git push heroku master

And seed it with data:

$ heroku run bundle exec rake seed

Locally With Vagrant

First boot a vm with the vagrant file:

$ vagrant up

Once things have ran grab vagrant's ssh-config with $ vagrant ssh-config and place it into ~/.ssh/config.

Now edit nginx.conf to use your own vhost:

server_name buildYourOwnSinatra.com;

Then setup things:

$ SERVER_USER=vagrant SERVER_DOMAIN=default bundle exec mina dokku:setup --port 2222

Finally add the remote and push it:

$ git remote add vagrant vagrant@default:build-your-own-sinatra
$ git push vagrant master

With dokku-alt on Digital Ocean

First edit nginx.conf to use your own vhost:

server_name buildYourOwnSinatra.com;

Set the SERVER_URL in .env and then run:

$ bundle exec mina

The script will setup the app, create database, push environment vars etc.

Now all you have to do is push:

$ git remote add dokku [email protected]:build-your-own-sinatra
$ git push dokku master

Live Coding

The CSS is specifically adapted to be live edited using Takana. This comes with some drawbacks; 1. We have only use libsass features and 2. Sprocket asset paths cant be shared.

First install a compatible version of bourbon:

gem install bourbon -v 3.2.4

Then when booting takana, pass the path for the bourbon's sass to it:

takana . -i ~/.rbenv/versions/2.1.5/lib/ruby/gems/2.1.0/gems/bourbon-3.2.4/dist
