The Arkenstone
The Arkenstone is a Ruby on Rails development environment generator. Its goal is to provide an easy way to spin up a new Vagrant box provisioned for Rails development.
Installation
$ gem install arkenstone
Usage
The Arkenstone provides you with the command line application arkenstone.
To create a new Arkenstone environment:
$ arkenstone new path/to/app
Check out the arkenstone help new option to see the available
configuration options.
Once, you’ve generated your new environment, cd over to path/to/app
and run:
$ vagrant up
Now go grab a cup of coffee or a glass of Scotch or two—this part might take a
while. If The Arkenstone detects a SLACK_TOKEN environment variable, it will
send a message to the associated Slack channel when its
done. For instance:
$ env SLACK_TOKEN=Your/Token/1234 vagrant up
For now, The Arkenstone is busy building a new Vagrant box and doing some initial work for you, such as:
- Installing system software depencies
- Building and installing Ruby
- Installing and setting up PostgreSQL
- Generating a new Rails app with Suspenders
When your new environment is complete, send over an SSH command to fire up the Rails server:
$ vagrant ssh -c '/vagrant/bin/rails server -b 0.0.0.0'
You should now be able to visit the new Rails app on your host machine at http://localhost:3001.
Voilà!
