Discourse demo problems: install commands? links? and addons?

[devekko]

sorry to slam you with issues;

I am trying to get the Discourse demo working and have a few issues

reading from the video, both error, not sure which is in the video, but there are no flags

$ devstep hack -r '-p 9292:9292 --link redis:redis --link postgres:db'
$ devstep hack -r ' -p 9292:9292 --link redis:redis --link postgres:db'

also, how do I enable add-ons?

made progress

git clone https://github.com/discourse/discourse.git
cd discourse
docker run -d --name postgres postgres:9.3
docker run -d --name redis:redis
devstep hack -p 9292:9292 --link redis:redis --link postgres:db

inside container
rake db:create db:migrate

puma errored

bundle exec rails server

but Discourse not displaying on host... digging

would be nice to have updated Discourse info

cheers

Thanks for the feedback, I'll look into improving docs before the next release.

And yes, the way to go is to use links and run services / project dependencies outside the container. Addons will be eventually removed

[devekko]

I actually got passed addon use ok for the Discourse demo

I couldn't get Puma to work within the app... it failed... I guess you have non standard config in your Discourse code?

[fgrehm]

I haven't tried running Discourse in a while (and BTW, IIRC that video is about 2 years old now, I need to find the time to improve docs 😢 )

[fgrehm]

Yeah, I have just watched the video again and noticed that it comes from the times where the CLI was just a simple bash script 😢 I'll keep this open as a reminder to record new videos when I have a chance. Thanks for the heads up!

I just recommended Devstep to a friend and was going to start working on Devstep again myself
