A Ruby/Sinatra web application boilerplate optimized for immediate deployment to your favorite cloud server.
Based on Kyle Drake's Sammy Davis Junior boilerplate.
Martin uses Bundler for dependency management, DataMapper for database interactions, and Thin as a web server.
Put this code in your terminal...
$ git clone git://github.com/ngoldman/martin.git
$ cd martin
$ bundle install
$ bundle exec rake db:bootstrap
$ bundle exec thin start...and you should have a test server running at http://localhost:3000.
Martin suggests immediately replacing everything in views/index.erb, public/js/global.js, and public/css/screen.css.
Once you've got things working to your satisfaction, all you need to do is commit your code, create a staging server and deploy with git push.
Martin recommends Heroku as the ideal candidate for deployment to a cloud staging server. The Heroku gem is included in the Gemfile by default. A Procfile is also included to ensure Martin will play nice with Heroku's new cedar stack.
$ git clone git://github.com/ngoldman/martin.git [dir name] && cd [dir name]
$ heroku create
$ heroku addons:add heroku-postgresql:dev
$ heroku pg:promote [database name] # get this by running `heroku addons`, should be something like `HEROKU_POSTGRESQL_JADE`
$ git push heroku master
$ heroku run rake db:bootstrap
$ heroku openMartin is heavily inspired by Kyle Drake's Sammy Davis Junior boilerplate. After using Sammy as a starting point on a few projects I found myself removing and adding the same things over and over, so I thought I'd create a quick starting point tailored to the needs of the apps I've been writing. A great deal of the code in Martin comes from Sammy.
