Docker (development) setup

• Run docker compose up
• Once running, seed the (development, right?) database with docker exec -it members_web rake db:setup
• Default user/pass is in db/seeds.rb
• Note by default the DB is persisted in the db_data volume but the source code is only copied during docker build. That can be changed if desired.
• The DB server can be accessed from the host machine via postgres://postgres:postgres@localhost:5432/members_db_development -- further work would be needed to set this up for production.

Manual setup

• Install Imagemagick (for Paperclip / image uploads)
• Install arp-scan (for LAN Mac address scanning)
• Load into a Rails 3 environment
• Copy config/config.yml.example to config/config.yml and edit appropriately
• Copy config/database.yml.example to config/database.yml and edit appropriately
• Copy env.example to .env and edit appropriately for your Amazon S3 account OR adjust the resource.rb and contract.rb model settings to use different storage for picture attachments (via Paperclip)
• Copy config/initializers/secret_token.rb.example to config/initializers/secret_token.rb and edit appropriately
• See/edit db/seeds.rb for the initial admin account info.
• Run bundle install, rake db:migrate, rake db:seed, etc.
