How to Cybele

Cybele is not an anatolian goddess, actually it is but we’re not talking about her.We’re talking about a rails gem.It’s an awesome tool to start a new project.It has everything you need when you develop a professional website.In short, it is a starting template.

Before I start I have to mention my friend mrk because he inspired me to write this.Since he does not seem to write an english version of his,I feel obligated to write for developers all around the world.ıf you wanna read his stuff, click here

Here we go, first we need to install redis and sidekiq to take care background jobs and cybele works in rails 4.2.x versions right now if you’re using Rails 5 or one of older versions you need to change it to 4.2.After that just install cybele gem using:

gem install cybele

Then just start a project by writing:

cybele project_name

on your terminal.Then set your local environment variables and access token in config/initializers/rollbar.rb.

ROOT_PATH=http://localhost:3000
SMTP_PASSWORD=
SMTP_USER_NAME=admin@deneme.com
SMTP_ADDRESS=smtp.sendgrid.net

BASIC_AUTH_IS_ACTIVE=no
S3_BUCKET_NAME=deneme-v3-staging
AWS_RAW_URL=deneme-v3-staging.s3.amazonaws.com
AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=
AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=

You can get detailed info about setting your local variables from here.After that in your migration folder set your default values for is_active and time_zone variables in Admin and User models.Be sure that you do this changes before the rake db:migrate command.

migratepic

After setting the migration file, change username and password in /config/settings.yml as you like.Then in public folder run this command

ln -s ../VERSION.txt VERSION.txt

This was the final step if you know how to use postrgresql because cybele uses postgresql.If you don’t have postgresql,you can install by running this command on your terminal

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install postgresql postgresql-contrib

If you already have it, open the psql using this command

sudo -u postgres psql

After that you need to create a database and a user.Before this step just be sure that you add a username and a password in your config/database.yml file.When you are creating a database,database name should match on your database name in database.yml file.If probably be like name_of_your_app_ development.So you should run a command like this

CREATE DATABASE "project_name_development";

When creating user

CREATE USER user_name WITH PASSWORD 'password'

after this we need to alter our user as superuser

ALTER USER user_name WITH SUPERUSER

Now we can leave our psql writing /q or simply using ctrl+d and creat our database and migrate it using

rake db:create
rake db:migrate
rake dev:seed

Finally we can run the server but before that make sure you run the redis each time because redis is back tracking our app.So run this

redis-server

aaand

rails s

tadaaa

welcomepage

You can wonder its admin panel just using

0.0.0.0:3000/hq

the password and and username is in seeds.rb file, that’s because you sholdn’t forget to run rake dev:seed

Thanks for reading..
