Priphea

Priphea is an offline music library manager and playback app. It's actually just a Ruby on Rails app running locally that talks to some shell programs behind the scenes.

Priphea is designed specifically for the way I like to organize and listen to music, though feel free to take a look if you're interested!

Installation

Prerequisites:

• ruby (see .ruby-version)
• exiftool
• mongodb
• taglib
• cmus - brew install cmus
• imagemagick - brew install imagemagick
• nodejs (for bower)
• phantomjs (for teaspoon tests) - npm install phantomjs -g

Other setup

./setup.sh

Running the tests

There are two test suites: rspec and teaspoon-mocha.

Run them together: rake test. Just rspec: rspec spec. Just teaspoon: rake teaspoon.

To view database

Could vary, check config/mongoid.yml, but probably:

mongo 127.0.0.1:27017/priphea-development

To setup database backups

There's a script included which will make a database backup. The database backup will be saved to the folder defined in the settings, database_backup_location. No prior backups will be overwritten or deleted automatically.

Set it up in your crontab with something like this line:

0 */6 * * * /bin/zsh -l -i -c 'cd /Users/steve/dev/priphea && bin/rails runner -e production '\''BackupDatabase.backup'\'' >> /tmp/priphea_cron.log 2>&1'

To restore your backup if necessary, here is an example command:

mongorestore --host 127.0.0.1 -d priphea-production --port 27017 /tmp/mongodump1

The database is selected automatically (the same database that was used for exporting it.)

To run the application

Local dev

mongod --dbpath /Users/steve/tmp
rails s thin -p 3000

In production:

I add the following to my ~/.zshrc:

alias priphea='/bin/zsh -l -i -c "/Users/steve/dev/priphea_production/run.sh"'

Now I run "priphea" in shell, and it runs the application.
