I wanted something very simple for providing upvotes/downvotes to a website.
There are obviously other options out there (like Facebook, Google+, etc.); but they're all more complicated than what I wanted.
So I'm going to put this up on Heroku and see if it meets my needs.
If you want to try this guy out yourself...
- run
bundle install
- create a DB directory for sqlite:
mkdir db
- run
rake dm:auto:migrate
- change
updownHost
to"http://localhost:4567/"
in updown.js - create an .env file with the following variables for Foreman:
SESSION_SECRET
: just set this to a really crazy long string (like 64 characters)
- run the server w/
PORT=4576 foreman start
- hit up localhost:4567 in your browser
Obviously, you don't have to use port 4567 if you don't want to.
