The e-Manifest App for EPA

Visit 18F Consulting for details about this project, or check out our Trello board to see what we're working on right now.

This is a Ruby/Sinatra/Angular app, with a Jekyll static site in the _static directory. The Jekyll site will be generated in the public/ directory, which Sinatra routes to automatically.

Don't edit the public/ folder directly! Jekyll will overwrite everything when building the site.

Running Locally

0. Copy the secret.rb.template to secret.rb. See below CROMERR Signing
1. Install Ruby
2. Install Bundler (gem install bundler)
3. Install Postgres and make sure postgres/bin is on your $PATH.
4. Start postgres if it isn't automatically running: postgres -D /usr/local/var/postgres
5. Run bundle install to grab the required gems.
6. Use rake db:create:all to create the databases.
7. User rake db:migrate to transform the database structure to what is needed by the app. For test you will need to preface with env variables to indicate the environment: RACK_ENV=test rake db:migrate
8. Run rake serve. This will build the Jekyll site and start the Sinatra server. If you have set a postgres username and password, try this: DATABASE_URL=postgres://<postgres user>:<password>@localhost/e-manifest rake serve or configure the DATABASE_URL environment variable as you see fit. Otherwise the app will just use the config/database.yml.
9. Go to localhost:9292 and enjoy!

CROMERR Signing

In order to access the development CDX system for CROMERR signing of a manifest, one needs a system account set up with rights to sign on behalf of authenticated users.

The username and password should be placed in a secret.rb file located in the root with the following form:

$cdx_username = "put username here"
$cdx_password = "put password here"

In other words, cp secret.rb.template secret.rb and edit the file.
