is a way for Jack to talk to Trello people about Haskell. It's since evolved into something weirder and better. See it here:

https://barnacles.blackfriday

Our tech stack is:

• MariaDB
• Rails

You can constribute by installing Barnacles. If you're on Linux, this is pretty simple:

• sudo pacman -Syu (You use Arch, right?)
• sudo pacman -S ruby mariadb
• git clone git@github.com:hlian/barnacles.git
• cd barnacles
• bundle --jobs=4
• ./jazz.sh

jazz.sh creates some files for Rails.

If you're on OS X, this is considerably more involved:

• brew install ruby mariadb
• sudo ln -s /usr/local/bin/ruby /usr/bin/ruby
• sudo ln -s /usr/local/bin/gem /usr/bin/gem
• reinstall all your preexisting system gems

(You can skip this part, but you better make sure your PATH is set up correctly from now until the end of time. This is what happens when you use an OS that comes with packages but not a package manager.)

• gem update
• gem install bundler
• git clone git@github.com:hlian/barnacles.git
• cd barnacles
• bundle --jobs=4
• ./jazz.sh

This concludes the Barnacles-specific part of the README. I'm going to hand it over to Lobsters now. (We forked from Lobsters.)

Before I go: You'll want to run mysqld in a separate tab. You'll want to create a database too:

• mysql -u root
• create database lobsters_dev;
• ^D

• Create a MariaDB database, username, and password and put them in a config/database.yml file:

      development:
        adapter: mysql2
        encoding: utf8mb4
        reconnect: false
        database: lobsters_dev
        socket: /tmp/mysql.sock
        username: *username*
        password: *password*
  
      test:
        adapter: sqlite3
        database: db/test.sqlite3
        pool: 5
        timeout: 5000
  

• Load the schema into the new database:

      lobsters$ rake db:schema:load
  

• (Optional, only needed for the search engine) Install Sphinx. Build Sphinx config and start server:

      lobsters$ rake ts:rebuild
  

• Create an initial mayor user and at least one tag:

      lobsters$ rails console
      Loading development environment (Rails 3.2.6)
      irb(main):001:0> u = User.new(:username => "test", :email => "test@example.com", :password => "test", :password_confirmation => "test")
      irb(main):002:0> u.is_admin = true
      irb(main):003:0> u.is_moderator = true
      irb(main):004:0> u.save
  
      irb(main):005:0> t = Tag.new
      irb(main):006:0> t.tag = "test"
      irb(main):007:0> t.save
  

• Run the Rails server in development mode. You should be able to login to http://localhost:3000 with your new test user:

      lobsters$ rails server
  

If you want the search to work, you should set up a systemd-timer that runs bundle exec rake ts:rebuild. See etc/ for an example (an incorrect example that doesn't bundle exec -- sorry guys, I'm learning Ruby as I go along).
