Work in progress podcasting app built using Rails and Ember

Getting started

Database setup

This project is using postgresql because that is the databse supported by Heroku. Here are the postgres install instructions for Arch Linux

1. Install postgres from your package manager

2. Switch to the postgres user $ sudo -i -u postgres

3. Initialize the postgres data store [postgres]$ initdb --locale en_US.UTF-8 -E UTF8 -D '/var/lib/postgres/data'

4. Start the postgres service (If you use Systemd the command is [you] $ systemctl start postgresql)

5. Create the postgres user [postgres]$ createuser --interactive Username: <your username> Superuser?: n Create Databases: y Create Rolls: n

6. rake db:setup

7. $ guard runs tests when files change.

Updating podcast feeds

Manually

Run $ rake feeds:update to update all feeds.

Facebook login.

This app draws your facebook developer credentials from your system's environment. To test and use facebook login while developing you will have to create a facebook developer account and create an app.

Facebook app setup.

1. Create the app. Go to https://developers.facebook.com/apps/ and create an app named buzz-dev

2. Export the app's id and secret to our env. Go to the app's settings page and copy the App ID and App Secret into your shell's rc (likely ~/.bashrc or ~/.zshrc).

export BUZZ_FACEBOOK_APP_ID='---------------'
export BUZZ_FACEBOOK_SECRET='---------------'

Ensure this information is not uploaded anywhere public. I use a ~/.keys file that I source in my shell rc's instead so that I can make my rc's public.

# ~/.zshenv

#:: load credentials
[[ -f "$HOME/.keys" ]] && source "$HOME/.keys";

3. Add a website platform Click Add platform and select website. For development testing set the Site URL to http://localhost:3000/
