Since .create is *only needed once* to set up the database (Magnus: "if you connect to a database which already has the tables, DON'T run `AppName::Models.create_schema` as this will probably delete the whole database.") what do we do with this after the first run: def AppName.create AppName::Models.create_schema end 3.1 delete it after the db is created on the first run? 3.2 check if the db already exists (best way, please)? 3.3 check like this (never understood ':assume'?): AppName::Models.create_schema :assume =&gt; (AppName::Models:: table_name.table_exists? ? 1.0 : 0.0) or could we do something simpler like (?): AppName::Models.create_schema unless table_exists?(table_name) ? 4. There's also this from a previous post (opinions please?): "On the part of migrations ... "def self.up" and "def self.down" ... gave me errors for some reason. But ... it should be updated to "def self.change" ... that's the modern way of doing it."

I am happy to announce that the camping 1 click deployment is now available at http://1.ai The platform has been coded with camping (with some help from bash for the backend scripts) and it seems to work very well. We have spent some time to get sure that it would be secure and easy to use. After working on an easy and secure way to upload/manage files online etc. we have found an easier solution: fetch a github repository with a camping application and - with one click -deploy it online at yourname.1.ai So how does this works ? 1 - you signup 2 - after logging in you simply fetch your camping application from a github repository there is a sample hello world available at https://github.com/gurugeek/0ai and this is also explained in the app admin page 3 - after fetching (provided that this is a valid camping app and has a valid config.ru file) your application will be live. The admin panel has all these instructions and if you try to fetch a non-camping application from a github repository it will return the relevant error. The system supports private repositories too (this said I wouldn't run something very secret and private on it!) but you would need to authorise the github user 1ai to access your private repository. Github has a lot of wonderful features so I feel that this was the best solution without re-inventing the wheel. It is probably the fastest and easiest way to get your camping application up and running. Each application is securely isolated but all this is running in a traditional dedicated server (no virtual/cloud/droids) are employed. This should enhance the application performance. The server is also using only SSD (solid state drivers) that are not yet available in most of cloud providers (EC2, Rackspace cloud). I really appreciate your testing and comments so please go on and launch your shiny Camping app at http://1.ai ! A small caveat: The aim of this service is (hopefully) to promote camping (perhaps next with a programming contest with some cool prizes) but it is obviously not meant to replace a traditional hosting in the sense that there will be no tech support offered and the service is provided without any warranty. This doesn't mean that is not good enough to run any of your fancy Camping apps - just that you should not expect this to replace any professional hosting. Note on Databases: -If you have an sqlite database in your github repository it should work just fine. If it works for you locally it should work fine on http://1.ai after the github fetch -If you want to use CouchDB you can do it with the wonderful Chill (https://github.com/Bluebie/chill) and http://www.iriscouch.com/ (which is free for small apps/usage). Once you have your CouchDB on iriscouch you simply connect to it from your camping app, fetch the data etc. I do look forward to your comments and welcome any question you might have!

Here's my thinking: David Costa's nearly got that neat camping app hosting thing working, which is amazingly awesome and we love him so much! People have all sorts of interesting ideas for things the camping site could do and have - lists of apps made in camping, wikis, forums, live chats where you're all a little spider in a sink and you can run around with your mouse and say things, text adventures, screencast theatres, interactive tutorials, book viewers, etc. What if we all just make a cool thing, and put it on David's cool hosting, and then we can all just run our own little sections of camping, like a little tent village with lots of homes which all have their own unique flavour. We could sort something out to have unified navigation menus, and have a simple app (or static page) to serve as the homepage, acting more as a gateway in to these other apps than anything else. We would be in charge of our own sections and it'd be awesome because we're all great at everything we do and we're all really great people! My hypothesis is many things aren't getting done with the website because we all just really can't be bothered getting consensus on the mailing list. We're impulsive creative people who just want to burst with energy and do something immediately without having to talk about it and justify it first. Consensus Democracy has worked great for the framework but maybe not for the site. What do you think? Can I get a consensus on this? — Jenna _______________________________________________ Camping-list mailing list Camping-list-GrnCvJ7WPxnNLxjTenLetw&lt; at &gt;public.gmane.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/camping-list</pre> Jenna Fox 2012-04-29T10:12:39 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.ruby.camping.general/1868 <pre>So, I went a little crazy this weekend and did a whole bunch of things: * camping.io now renders properly in Chrome (yay! why didn't anyone tell me this was broken? evolving web standards are annoying!) * I tidied up some issues and commented on heaps of things on https://github.com/camping/camping/issues * I patched a readme to not talk about features we removed from The Camping Server * I created extensive documentation for chill - my couchdb abstraction. &lt;http://creativepony.com/chill/rdoc/ChillDB.html&gt; * I added bulk commit and delete support to chill - which should improve performance quite a bit * I added ruby views support to chill - but I haven't tested this yet. All these things seem vaguely related to camping (at least to me). Lets talk about the website! — Jenna _______________________________________________ Camping-list mailing list Camping-list-GrnCvJ7WPxnNLxjTenLetw&lt; at &gt;public.gmane.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/camping-list</pre> Jenna Fox 2012-04-29T10:02:34 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.ruby.camping.general/1855 <pre>Hi ! First a short update on the camping "on the fly" hosting. Everything is done and tested on the backend. We are just building the frontend (coded using camping) but we are fighting with the strange behavior of the embedded sqlite database (one of my developers is using windows and things are even less user friendly there) - this is not a big issue for the user database but mostly for users that might want to store sqlite backed up. We are getting there thou ! I have seen some traces of camping working with couchDB using ShyCouch but for an odd reason I cannot get the example working.... NoMethodError: undefined method `CouchDatabase' for ShyCouch:Module and other errors. Couchcamping gem is also based on shy couch so I guess if one doesn't work the other will be broken too .. ? I wrote to the writer of the lib but before doing more tests has anyone worked on camping + couchdb (even for a quick sample) ? If yes can you email me your working code ? In theory one good thing is that couchdb runs over http so it would be very easy to offer free database and even distribute it across two different severs. I am interested also to get some real cases with couchdb so that we might use it at work too.

E.g. to have a formatted (with a simple space between the records so nothing fancy like Stock Name Apple Ticker AAPL number of stocks 10 bought at 580.13$ on 2012-04-17 Total position 5801.3) list I have to do something like this def index kirby = KirbyBase.new stocks_tbl = kirby.get_table(:stocks) results = stocks_tbl.select(:name,:ticker,:tradeprice,:tradedate,:quantity,:totalposition,:recno).sort(+:totalposition) for result in results text 'Stock Name &amp;nbsp' text result.name text '&amp;nbsp' text 'Ticker &amp;nbsp' text result.ticker text '&amp;nbsp' text 'number of stocks' text '&amp;nbsp' text result.quantity text '&amp;nbsp' text 'bought at &amp;nbsp' text result.tradeprice text '$ &amp;nbsp' text 'on &amp;nbsp' text result.tradedate text '&amp;nbsp' text 'Total position' text '&amp;nbsp' text result.totalposition br Now I am sure that there is perhaps a better way to do it ? :) Thanks in advance David _______________________________________________ Camping-list mailing list Camping-list-GrnCvJ7WPxnNLxjTenLetw&lt; at &gt;public.gmane.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/camping-list</pre> david costa 2012-04-17T20:50:58 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.ruby.camping.general/1803 <pre>Hi, I use this in Markaby to generate an html tag, but I need to add lang="lc" and xml:lang="lc" (lc != :en).

I do realize that it would be great to have a generic mechanism built-into the framework itself. Maybe a couple configuration options with the basic defaults could include the root of all static content (/public, /files, /static, etc.), and basic file types to be treated as static. I think this feature would be separate from the ability to serve multiple apps (although it might need to factor that in). _______________________________________________ Camping-list mailing list Camping-list-GrnCvJ7WPxnNLxjTenLetw&lt; at &gt;public.gmane.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/camping-list</pre> Philippe Monnet 2012-04-15T19:41:34 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.ruby.camping.general/1770 <pre>Looks like Judofyr isn't working on the book generator thingie, so I'll sort out a new site thing.

I assume that this would allow a user to run as many camping application as he wants (space permitting) without having to reconfigure lighttpd each time an application is added correct? Question: on the examples I can only find a camping fcgi dispatcher for apache. Do you have any dispatcher that would work on lighttpd or should I use a generic ruby dispatcher like http://pallas.telperion.info/ruby-cgi/ ?

Now this is not about re-inventing the wheel as heroku already supports camping apps too. So this would be the ground idea: a) This would be entirely free - no paid plans to upgrade etc.; b) Eventually users should be able to deploy a camping application by launching something like camping-fly myapp in the command line and it would simply work (through a git push or similar) and make it available live in a custom domain like camping.sh or ruby.am e.g. myfancyapp.camping.sh or myfancyapp.ruby.am c) Database fanciness should also be available or at least sqlite/mysql Suggestion and ideas on how to achieve this are welcome (or professionals with the expertise willing to do a simple project based on this ) servers I can make available for this: Debian 6 Intel Core i7 3930K (6 x 3,20 GHz) RAM 64 GB 3000 GB HD + 256 MB SSD drive (very useful for databases, much faster) OR (don't laugh) Mac mini 2.0GHz quad-core Intel Core i7 8GB memory 2X256GB Solid State Drive of course we would need to limit this to screened applicants to avoid any spammers/troublemakers Best Regards David _______________________________________________ Camping-list mailing list Camping-list-GrnCvJ7WPxnNLxjTenLetw&lt; at &gt;public.gmane.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/camping-list</pre> david costa 2012-03-30T16:22:16 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.ruby.camping.general/1648 <pre>Hello from Switzerland :) I have been playing with camping for the last day. Granted, I have very limited experience with ruby but I did manage to get it work just fine (thanks to the example at https://github.com/camping/camping/wiki/Short-example that is strangely not part of the camping book) I was thinking that perhaps something better could be done like: - examples: starting from the short example moving up to the database etc. perhaps some real life, step by step examples. The more the better :) - screencasts: which usually go a long way to attract attention and getting started (yes, many people just don't read!) Now I am sure that this was not yet finalized as the community/users are busy doing other real life works and can do more only in their spare time. So here is my idea: I would be willing to sponsor someone experienced with camping to write examples and/or make a screencast. It would be a paid job. I just thinking that as many developers are freelancers this might be interesting. It might also be interesting to students wishing to earn something while completing their studies. Thanks in advance for your feedback !

Of course I'm using the latest and greatest version of Camping that uses Mab and has a public/ dir. I was just wondering if we still have the functionality to mount multiple apps in these new versions. Say I have a project that looks something like this app/ app.rb #The home or something?? blog.rb foo.rb admin.rb public/ something.css acoolpic.png blog/ controller.rb views.rb foo/ controller.rb views.rb admin/ controller.rb views.rb I want those apps to share the public folder to have the same basic look and all that. And of course database. The problem I have here is, how do I specify what is the root of the whole bigger picture. Like what gets mounted at site.com and not site.com/blog for example. And also, how can I add some shared functionality across the apps. For example I want to have Csrf protection (using rack_csrf), right? So instead of overriding the form of each and every smaller app I want it to easily be implemented just once. Is this possible? If so, how? Also, what is the correct command line command to mount every app? Also another concern I have when doing this kind of thing is, how can I make one app link to some part of another app? Like if I want app.rb to link to the blog, or the blog to link to some controller in foo.
