Danger Brewing

The Ember-powered kegerator.

Overview

This is a web application that collects data from the Danger Brewing Hub. Your kegerator might consist of:

• Flow meters - to monitor beer distribution
• Sensors - to monitor temperature, humidity, etc.

Administer your kegerator in real-time or let everyone know what's on tap.

Prerequisites

You will need the following things properly installed on your computer.

• Git
• Node.js (with NPM)
• Bower
• Ember CLI
• PhantomJS

Installation

• git clone <repository-url> this repository
• change into the new directory
• npm install && bower install

Configuration

• Sign up for Firebase - it's free
  • You might want to create two projects, for development and production.
• cd into this directory
  • cp .env.example .env.dev
  • cp .env.example .env.production - if using ember-cli-deploy
• Update each file with ENV variables
  • FIREBASE_API_KEY: Firebase API Key
  • FIREBASE_DOMAIN: Firebase domain
  • FIREBASE_DATABASE: Firebase database URL
  • FIREBASE_STORAGE: Firebase storage bucket
  • GA: Google Analytics property ID
• The resulting file(s) should look like:

FIREBASE_API_KEY=abc123
FIREBASE_DOMAIN=my-app.firebaseapp.com
FIREBASE_DATABASE=https://my-app.firebaseio.com
FIREBASE_STORAGE=my-app.appspot.com
GA=UA-000-12

• Setup an admin user
  • Navigate to your Firebase dashboard, Auth
  • Enable email/password authentication.
  • Add a new user with whatever email and password you choose.
• Add database index
  • Navigate to your Firebase dashboard, Database
  • Click the Rules tab
  • Update your rules to look as follows:

  {
    "rules": {
      ".read": true,
      ".write": "auth != null",
      "beers": {
        ".indexOn": ["active"]
      }
    }
  }
  

• Integrate with your kegerator - Launch the application:
  • ember server
  • Navigate to Login
  • Log in as your admin user you setup.
