Publish your writing effortlessly. All you need is email.

The easiest way to get Pagecord running locally is with Docker.

First, install Docker Desktop and make sure it's running.

Then:

git clone https://github.com/lylo/pagecord.git
cd pagecord
docker-compose up

This will:

• Start PostgreSQL, Redis, and Memcached containers
• Build and run the Rails app
• Set up the database automatically

You can view the app at http://localhost:3000. It's configured to use lvh.me, so you can view individual blogs on their respective subdomains, e.g. http://joel.lvh.me:3000.

# Rails console
docker-compose exec web bin/rails console

# Run tests
docker-compose exec web bin/rails test
docker-compose exec web bin/rails test:system

# Run migrations
docker-compose exec web bin/rails db:migrate

# Process emails (debug)
docker-compose exec web bash -c "DIR=tmp/emails rake email:load"

If you prefer to run Rails natively without Docker:

bundle install
rails db:setup
brew install redis postgresql
bin/dev

bin/rails test
bin/rails test:system

Sometimes you'll need to debug emails. To do this, save the .eml file(s) to a folder such as tmp/emails.

You can then run the following command which will parse all the .eml files in that folder and create posts for the first user account in the seed data ([email protected]).

DIR=tmp/emails rake email:load
