GrokPhoto

GrokPhoto is a professional photographer's client gallery solution.

This version is work in progress / port to rails 3.2.3

For the stable rails 2 version please see the version 2 branch: Version 2

Software Requirements

• ImageMagick
• SQLite3 or MySQL or PostgreSQL

Installation

git clone git://github.com/rapind/grokphoto.git
cd grokphoto
bundle

Then initialize the database and start the server:

rake db:create
rake db:migrate
rake db:seed
rails server

At this point you should have a working site with some basic seed data that you can start to customize.

Initial Configuration

1. Login to the administration area (/admin) using [email protected] / password
2. Click on the Settings tab.
3. Enter your own information and update the settings.

Heroku Deployment

heroku create --stack cedar
git push heroku master

Before you seed the database you'll need to setup an amazon s3 account and bucket to have somewhere to store the files. Heroku has a temporary filesystem which is not an appropriate place to store images.

• Go to: https://console.aws.amazon.com/s3/home
• Create a bucket
• Go to: https://aws-portal.amazon.com/gp/aws/developer/account/index.html
• Click on the Security Credentials in the left nav, then the Access Credentials in the body.
• Copy your S3 key and your S3 secret key

Use your S3 information to fill in the config vars for heroku, then seed the database.

heroku config:add S3_KEY=change_to_your_amazon_s3_key S3_SECRET=change_to_your_amazon_s3_secret S3_BUCKET=change_to_your_amazon_s3_bucket    

You still need to specify a secret token and session store key:

rake secret
heroku config:add SESSION_KEY=_usually_your_app_name SECRET_TOKEN=_result_of_rake_secret

To specify the email address to use when the system sends emails:

heroku config:add SENDER_EMAIL=_your_email_address

To specify the email host to use when the system sends emails:

heroku config:add EMAIL_HOST=yourdomain.com

To specify an environment specific pepper to use when encrypting passwords:

rake secret
heroku config:add DEVISE_PEPPER=_result_of_rake_secret

You can check to make sure all of your heroku environment variables have been properly by listing them:

heroko config

Once done, migrate and seed the database and launch the app.

heroku run rake db:migrate
heroku run rake db:seed

Make sure you also enable memcached on heroku with the below command.

heroku addons:add memcache:5mb   

Open up your shiny new GrokPhoto instance!

heroku open

Don't forget to change your admin password using the "Forgot my password" feature.
