Installation from source

Currently the only way to install Stayus is from the source repository. To do this, you'll need Git installed.

Before start, you'll need to create a new MySQL database:

mysql$ CREATE DATABASE `staytus` CHARSET utf8 COLLATE utf8_unicode_ci;
mysql$ GRANT ALL ON staytus.* TO `staytus`@`localhost` IDENTIFIED BY "a_secure_password";

$ git clone https://github.com/adamcooke/staytus
$ git checkout stable
$ cd staytus
$ bundle install --deployment --without development:test
$ cp config/database.example.yml config/database.yml
$ nano -w config/database.yml # Add your database configuration
$ bundle exec rake staytus:build staytus:install
$ bundle exec foreman start

This will run the application on HTTP port 5000. When you first login, you'll be able to add your own site settings. Browse to http://[IP]:5000 to begin.

Upgrading

Once you've installed Staytus, you can easily upgrade it by following this process.

$ cd path/to/staytus
$ git pull origin stable
$ bundle
$ bundle exec rake staytus:build staytus:upgrade

Once you've done this, you should ensure you restart any Staytus processes which you have running.

Themes

All themes are stored in the content/themes directory. You can add your own these in this directory but we do not recommend making changes to the default theme as these changes may get overriden in an upgrade.

Full details about how to make these will be coming soon.
