The frontend is written in a few custom frameworks, the largest of which is called Flimflam.
|
|
We endeavor to migrate to React as quickly as possible to increase development
|
|
comfort and speed.
|
|
|
|
All new backend code and React components well tested.
|
|
|
|
## Prerequisites

|
|
* Ruby 2.6
|
|
* Node 14
|
|
* Yarn
|
|
* PostgreSQL 10 or 12
|
|
* Ubuntu 18.04, 20.04 or equivalent
|
|
|
|

## Dev Setup
|
|
|
|
#### Tips for specific circumstances
|
|
|
|
* Docker: Docker was previously used for development of Houdini.
|
|
See [docker.md](docs/docker.md) for more info.
|
|
* Mac: Mac dev setup may require some unique configuration.
|
|
See [mac_getting_started.md](docs/mac_getting_started.md) for more info.
|
|
|
|
### Installation prep
|
|
|
|
Houdini requires a few pieces of software be installed, as well as some optional pieces
|
|
which make development much easier.
|
|
|
|
These include:
|
|
|
|
* PostgreSQL 12 (10 probably works)
|
|
* NodeJS 14 (we require 14 because we want the full internationalization built-in)
|
|
* Ruby 2.6.6 (NOTE: the default of Ruby 2.7.1 in Debian should
|
|
function but you will receive a ton of deprecation
|
|
warnings from Ruby)
|
|
|
|
There a few optional tools which make working on Houdini
|
|
easier
|
|
|
|
* Ruby Version Manager (RVM) - RVM makes it simple to switch
|
|
between versions of Ruby for different projects. Additionally, you can
|
|
use different "gemsets" per version so you can separate the
|
|
state of a set of different projects. It will also switch
|
|
versions at the console when you change to a directory for
|
|
an project prepared for RVM, like Houdini.
|
|
* Automatic Version Switching for Node (AVN) - similar to RVM, AVN makes it simple to switch between versions of Node. When
|
|
properly configured, it automatically switches version at
|
|
the console whe you change to a directory for a project
|
|
prepared for AVN, like Houdini.
|
|
|
|
#### One-time setup
|
|
|
|
You'll want to run the next commands as root or via sudo (for Ubuntu 18.04 users or anyone running ProgresSQL 10, change "postgresql-12" below to "postgresql-10"). You could do this by typing `sudo /bin/sh` running the commands from there.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
apt update
|
|
apt install curl -yy
|
|
curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_14.x | bash -
|
|
curl -sS https://dl.yarnpkg.com/debian/pubkey.gpg | apt-key add -
|
|
echo "deb https://dl.yarnpkg.com/debian/ stable main" | tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/yarn.list
|
|
apt update
|
|
apt install git postgresql-12 libpq-dev libjemalloc-dev libvips42 yarn -yy
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You'll run the next commands as your normal user.
|
|
|
|
> *Note*: in the case of a production instance, this might be
|
|
> your web server's user.
|
|
|
|
> *Note*: We use [RVM](https://rvm.io) to have more control over the exact version of Ruby. For development, it's also way easier because you can
|
|
> use a consistent version of Ruby (and different sets of installed gems) for different projects. You could also use rbenv
|
|
> or simply build ruby from source.
|
|
|
|
> *Note*: We don't recommend using Ruby 2.7, the current Ubuntu default at this time. Ruby 2.7 will function but spits out tons
|
|
> of deprecation warnings when using Rails applications.
|
|
|
|
> *Note*: We recommend building Ruby with jemalloc support as we
|
|
> do in these instructions. In practice, it manages memory far
|
|
> more efficiently in Rails-based projects.
|
|
|
|
> *Tip*: To get out of the root shell, run `exit`
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# add rvm keys
|
|
curl -sSL https://rvm.io/mpapis.asc | gpg --import -
|
|
curl -sSL https://rvm.io/pkuczynski.asc | gpg --import -
|
|
curl -sSL https://get.rvm.io | bash -s stable
|
|
source $HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm
|
|
echo 'source "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm"' >> ~/.bashrc
|
|
rvm install 2.6.6 --disable-binary --with-jemalloc
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Run the following command as the `postgres` user and then enter your houdini_user
|
|
password at the prompt.
|
|
|
|
> *Note*: For development, Houdini expects the password to be 'password'. This would be terrible
|
|
for production but for development, it's likely not a huge issue.
|
|
|
|
> *Tip*: To run this, add `sudo -u postgres ` to the beginning of the following command.
|
|
|
|
`createuser houdini_user -s -d -P`
|
|
|
|
Now that we have all of our prerequisites prepared, we need to get the Houdini code.
|
|
|
|
`git clone https://github.com/HoudiniProject/houdini`
|
|
|
|
This will download the latest Houdini code. Change to the
|
|
`houdini` directory and we can set the rest of Houdini up.
|
|
|
|
Let's run the Houdini project setup and we'll be ready to go!
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
bin/setup
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
> *Note*: The .env file holds your environment variables for development; on production you might
|
|
> have these set somewhere else other than this file.
|
|
|
|
> *Tip*: On Heroku, the environment variables are set in your Dashboard.
|
|
|
|
Also, you should set the STRIPE_API_KEY and STRIPE_API_PUBLIC
|
|
environment variables which you'd get from the Stripe
|
|
dashboard. On your development environment,
|
|
make sure to use test keys. If you don't, you're
|
|
going to be charged real money!
|
|
|
|
#### Testing
|
|
|
|
To verify everying is set up correctly, you can try running through the test cases:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
./bin/rails spec
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You should expect to see the output of the test execution,
|
|
including messages about pending test cases, and
|
|
eventually get the output to the effect of below:
|
|
|
|
```text
|
|
Finished in 6 minutes 25 seconds (files took 10.35 seconds to load)
|
|
2433 examples, 0 failures, 42 pending
|
|
|
|
Coverage report generated for RSpec to .../houdini/coverage. 10552 / 12716 LOC (82.98%) covered.
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The important thing to look for is that the number of
|
|
failures is zero.
|
|
|
|
#### Startup
|
|
|
|
`bin/rails server`
|
|
You can connect to your server at http://localhost:5000
|
|
|
|
##### Super admin
|
|
|
|
There is a way to set your user as a super_admin. This role lets you access any of the nonprofits
|
|
on your Houdini instance. Additionally, it gives you access to the super admin control panel to search all supporters and
|
|
nonprofits, which is located at `/admin` url.
|
|
|
|
To create the super user, go to the rails console by calling:
|
|
|
|
`bin/rails console`
|
|
|
|
In the console, run the following:
|
|
|
|
```ruby
|
|
admin=User.find(1) #or the id of the user you want to add the role
|
|
role=Role.create(user:admin,name: "super_admin")
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Known Issues
|
|
|
|
For a list of [how to solve known issues](docs/KNOWN_ISSUES.MD)
|
|
|
|
## Run in production
|
|
|
|
You will likely want to make a few changes in your configuration of Houdini before running in production as you
|
|
would for any Rails project. These include:
|
|
|
|
* Using a [different ActiveJob backend](https://guides.rubyonrails.org/active_job_basics.html). NOTE: The Sneakers for RabbitMQ doesn't
|
|
work properly. There are
|
|
[forks of Sneakers](https://github.com/veeqo/advanced-sneakers-activejob)
|
|
which might work but they haven't been tested. **If you do test
|
|
them please let us know!**
|
|
* Use a [proper cache store](https://guides.rubyonrails.org/caching_with_rails.html#cache-stores). The development uses
|
|
`memory_store` which isn't shared between processes or server
|
|
and clears every time your server software restarts. Memcached
|
|
or Redis are good choices here.
|
|
|
|
### Providing the complete corresponding source code
|
|
|
|
> **Note: This is not legal advice and provides a suggestion which may be compliant. You should talk with your legal counsel if you have
|
|
> questions or concerns with how to comply with the various licenses of Houdini.**
|
|
|
|
Providing the complete, corresponding source code (CCS) of your project is a requirement of some of the licenses used by Houdini. There are two methods for doing so right now:
|
|
|
|
1. Providing a tarball of the current running code
|
|
2. Providing a link to Github where the code is pulled from
|
|
|
|
The easiest method is to provide a tarball. Houdini automatically provides a link on the Terms & Privacy page which generates a tarball for the current running code at runtime.
|
|
For this to work though, the following characteristics must be true:
|
|
|
|
* Your have to have committed any changes you made to the project in `HEAD` in your git repository
|
|
* The `.git` folder for your repository must be a direct subfolder of your `$RAILS_ROOT`
|
|
* Your web server must be able to run `git archive`
|
