MenexaTech is a place where students can share and discuss old exams.

WOA Project: MenexaTech

This is the final project of my Web Oriented Applications course. It is a platform where students will be able to share old exams, and discuss there answers.

Getting started with Docker

Install docker and docker-compose.

Run the following command to build and run the project:

$ docker-compose build
$ docker-compose up

The in an other terminal run:

$ docker-compose run web rails db:create
$ docker-compose run web rails db:migrate

Getting started by installing requirements yourself

Requirements

• Same Rails and Ruby version as specified in the Gemfile
• postgres
• Poppler-utils to preview images

Getting started

To get get started with the MenexaTech app on your machine, clone the Repository and install the needed gems:

$ bundle install --without production

Then migrate the database, and fill it with generated content:

$ rails db:migrate
$ rails db:seed

In order to be sure that the application works properly you will have to add the triggers from file db/triggers.sql to your database. The database of the development environment currently being sqlite3 this is not trivial, the installation of postgres on a local machine being relatively hard. My advice would be to deploy the application to for example Heroku and then add the triggers.

Finally you can run the application on a local server:

$ rails server
