labmin

Because spending a bazillion dollars on lab management is awfulsauce.

Developing Locally

Getting Started

Labmin is easy to develop with, all you need is some sweet ruby on rails goodness. Here's the list of what you'll need installed before we can continue:

• Ruby
• Bundler

Get started by cloning down the Labmin repo and moving into it:

git clone git@github.com:evanscottgray/labmin.git && cd labmin

Now we can install the required Gems:

bundle install

Heads up!

You'll need some special environment variables to make the stuff below this work. Find Andrew or Evan for this info.

Finally we'll create the database and start the rails server:

bundle exec rake db:migrate && rails server

Deploying Labmin

To deploy Labmin, all you have to do is get a copy of rdocker-cli and have access to labmin_secrets.

Once you have both of those things, you can simply issue the following command to deploy the master branch of the application:

rdocker-cli restart_labmin

Using rdocker-cli to deploy the application will automatically update the labmin.vdojo.rackspace.net DNS record.
