Facepuncher

Welcome to a Punch in the Face! Facepuncher is a platform for quickly bootstrapping deploying Facebook tabs.

Requirements

• Rails 3.2
• MongoDB 1.8+
• Redis 2.4+
• git
• ssh

Setup

To setup Facepuncher:

git clone git@github.com:bigfuel/facepuncher.git
cd facepuncher
bundle

Configure app and databases:

Rename config files:

mv config/config.yml.example config/config.yml
mv config/mongoid.yml.example config/mongoid.yml

and optionally:

mv config/newrelic.yml.example config/newrelic.yml

Modify the configuration files to match your environment.

Setup the database:

rake db:setup

Start the applicaiton:

foreman start

Project repositories

Facepuncher supports both https and git protocols for project repositories. The https protocol may require a username and password if it's a private repository, or if there's http authentication on top of the repo:

https://username:password@github.com/bigfuel/example_private_repo.git

At Big Fuel we have private repositories on Github and Bit Bucket. What we do is create a deploy specific read-only account and we reference that in repository urls.

If you must use the git protocol, then you must install an SSH key and a known_hosts file with the host fingerprint of the repository's host. Add these to vendor/support/.ssh and they will be copied to your production environment upon deployment.

Resque workers

This application also requires resque and resque-scheduler workers to be started. These workers process background jobs, such as deployng project releases.

You should run this in a separate terminal window. The VERBOSE=1 option tells it to provide more debugging information so you know what's going on.

VERBOSE=1 QUEUE=* rake resque:work

The scheduler worker schedules jobs that take place at later or at regular intervals.

VERBOSE=1 rake resque:scheduler
