RubyVideo.dev

RubyVideo.dev, inspired by pyvideo.org, is designed to index all Ruby-related videos from conferences and meetups worldwide. At the time of writing, the project has about 4000 videos indexed from 175+ conferences and 2500+ speakers.

Technically the project is built using the latest Ruby and Rails goodies such as Hotwire, Solid Queue, Solid Cache.

For the front end part we use Vite, Tailwind with daisyUI components and Stimulus.

It is deployed on an Hetzner VPS with Kamal using SQLite as the main database.

For compatible browsers it tries to demonstrate some of the possibilities of Page View Transition API.

Getting Started

We have tried to make the setup process as simple as possible so that in a few commands you can have the project with real data running locally.

Requirements

• Ruby 3.3.6
• Docker and docker-compose (for Meilisearch)
• Node.js 20.11.0
• Meilisearch 1.1

Setup

To prepare your database and seed content, run:

bin/setup

Environment Variables

You can use the .env.sample file as a guide for the environment variables required for the project. However, there are currently no environment variables necessary for simple app exploration.

Meilisearch

Rubyvideo.dev search uses Meilisearch as a search engine.

To start the app, you need to have a Meilisearch service started. There is a Docker Compose available

In a new terminal :

docker-compose up

Troubleshooting:

• if no search results are returned, most probably the index is empty. You can reindex by running Talk.reindex! in the Rails console.
• if they are no talks at all you need to run rails db:seed first

Starting the Application

The following command will start Rails, SolidQueue and Vite (for CSS and JS).

bin/dev

Linter

The CI performs these checks:

• erblint
• standardrb
• standard (js)
• prettier (yaml)

Before committing your code you can run bin/lint to detect and potentially autocorrect lint errors.

To follow Tailwind CSS's recommended order of classes, you can use Prettier along with the prettier-plugin-tailwindcss, both of which are included as devDependencies. This formating is not yet enforced by the CI.
