Ruby on Rails GUI/Installer Plugin

[vandal]

Hello Everyone,

We are going to release a beta version of Ruby on Rails Direct Admin Plugin and we need some more servers to try it out on.

If you can offer your server as a test bed to ensure everything is working properly we will give you the plugin free of charge once we release version 1.0.

Features include:
*auto ruby, ruby-fcgi, fastcgi, mod_fastcgi, ruby gems installer and updater (configures everything you need to run ruby automatically! keeping all ruby required software up2date with an easy to use bash script)
* multi language support for the GUI
* no SSH needed for your end users! they can run any needed ruby commands via Direct Admin increasing your servers security.
* add/edit/delete ruby applications per user and domain from the Direct Admin User Panel
* auto configures ruby files to run on fastcgi

Admin Level:
*turn ruby on/off for select users.

Requirements:
root access to your server
perl
php 4
Direct Admin (of course)

We have tested this on a Redhat ES 3.0 box and would like to see some other OS's we can play with (fedora, centos, debian)
**the plugin itself should work on FreeBSD however the auto installer/updater is not yet ready for FreeBSD*** so someone wants to provide a bsd testbed that would be great for v2.0.

Please send me a PM with your email address, msn or aim and we will go from there.

Thanks,

The Van man.

Van, I can give you a testbed server running CentOS 4 to test on if you'd like. You can have a week to a month on it. Will that help?

We'd appreciate a free copy when it's released, but obviously not for the testbed server, which gets rebuilt every time anyone is finished with it.

Let me know by email to the address in my sig if you need it.

Would still love a fedora/debian/or BSD box.

Please PM me.

Thank you.

[Chrysalis]

got a BSD box suitable for testing but I dont own it so will need to find out about the root access.

[vandal]

Great Chrysalis,

I got a PM from someone else who offered a BSD box up.

The only thing that will really need working is the installer bash script as the plugin should function the same on all boxes. But I of course will need to verify that.

Any Fedora/Debian users still need one to try that on.

Thanks!

[boonchuan]

Do you still any tester on Centos 4.1?

[vandal]

No Sorry we have enough centos testers.

Need Fedora and Debian.

Thanks!

[blacknight]

We could test it on debian if you still need debian testers
Let me know

[vandal]

that would be great. check your PM please.

[adam-pca]

Hi,

I could get a Fedora box online should you still need one to test on. Please PM me if you're interested.

Regards,
Adam

[vandal]

i think we may have enough testers but i'll let you know soon. :)

[Zathman]

Has there been any development on the BSD version of the installer? Where can I get it?

I have FreeBSD 5.3 installed on my server.

[boonchuan]

Any timeline when will the product be ready for the market?

[ArielHost]

Any updates for a FreeBSD version? Running 5.4 here, would like to try it.

[GoranTornqvist]

Hello,
I'm interested in this plugin.
Where can I find info on this, is it free or does it cost money?

edit: I'll send you a PM instead :)

[vandal]

sorry everyone,


this project has been put on hold for the momement while we finish up some other pressing things.

This has not been tested on BSD yet and we have no idea if it will work at the moment for BSD.

Thanks

[servertweak]

keep us updated

[Sheldon]

updates?

[Sheldon]

*bump*

[vandal]

sorry everyone.

All that's left really to do for an initial realease is to finish the plugin packaging and skin the look in the interface.

we were not able to have ruby turn on or off at this time though.

[ViAdCk]

Any news regarding this plugin? We are really looking forward to install RoR on some of our servers.

Thanks :)

[xeryph]

Hi Everyone!

I can test it on my servers on Centos 4.x, RH9, FC3, Fc4 and Debian. I am very interested in testing that plugin. If you need some betatesters please contact with me.

Regards,
Xeryph

[Cutia]

Please, what happened to this plugin?

[Seth]

Why not hand it over to someone who is interested in finishing the plugin?

[vandal]

It's virually done we are just testing more and it should be released in the next couple weeks. We just have to get some encoding issues sorted.

Sorry for the wait all.

Here is a screen to tide you over

[nobaloney]

Looks good, Justin.

Keep us posted. We can hardly wait :) .

Jeff

[Cutia]

Fantastic! I'm very excited.

[xeryph]

Yeah, it looks great. I am waiting fot that plugin :)

[vandal]

Hey Everyone,

we are doing a bit of redesign as we found it's pretty slow moving using dropdowns/textboxes etc to manage your ruby applications.

Shouldn't be too much longer so rest assured it's on it's way.

[prabu]

It looks great can't wait for it :) customers are wanting ruby i told em that is on our "TODO" list haha and does it work with CentOS 4.X ? if it did would be rocking :)

[vandal]

yes it will. It will be compatible with all red hat based systems. The plugin itself should be compatible with all, however the bash install script will need adjustments for bsd machines, and we may not be support that for the initial release.

[blacknight]

Is there any ETA on when this might actually be available?

[vandal]

It's looking under a week from now.

Don't quote me though :)

ordering system is all setup, just need to do some changes and some more tests.

Anyone have a fedora box we can play with?

send me a PM.

Justin

[nobaloney]

Justin,

I can build a CentOS 4 testbed for your specification if you'd like; please email me if you can use that.

Jeff

[vandal]

No the only thing we need is Fedora Jeff.

Thanks,

Justin

[Seth]

PM if you still need a fedora system to test.

[ToyMaster]

Has this been tested on Cent OS 4 x86_64 base?

[vandal]

this most likely will not work on a 64 bit system as required libraries etc would not be found. If you can to give it a shot though send me a pm.

[crspyjohn]

does this work on centos 4.3?

[vandal]

should work just fine on all Enterprise 32bit based systems

[crspyjohn]

I have a 64bit server but i think it is running 32bit centos. How would i check?

[vandal]

what's uname -a show?

[vandal]

if indeed you are running centos 32bit shouldn't be a problem. Right now we are running into segfaults with ioncube loaders and 64 bit systems, more of an encoding issue so far than a plugin issue.

[vandal]

Tested and working on Seth's box (Fedora Core 4 32bit OS 64bit server).

[vandal]

Version1.0 Released!
