  # Using Boxen with Rails Projects
  
  Boxen is designed to work extremely well with Rails.
  Let's break down some of the basics:
  
  ## Project Management
  
  We make a few assumptions about how you run Rails in development for ease and consistency:
  
  * You use a web server that listens on a socket
  * You use environment variables and something like [dotenv](https://github.com/bkeepers/dotenv) for managing secrets
  
  A typical Rails app that uses things like MySQL, Resque, and phantomjs
  might have a [project definition](../modules/projects/README.md) like so:
  
  ``` puppet
  class projects::rails_app {
    include phantomjs
  
    boxen::project { 'rails_app':

      ruby   => '1.9.3',
      mysql  => true,
      redis  => true,
      nginx  => true,

  This does a few things for you:
  
  * Clones `https://github.com/mycompany/rails_app.git` to `~/src/rails_app`
  * Ensures the default 1.9.3 version of Ruby is installed
  * Creates `~/src/rails_app/.ruby-version` with `1.9.3` in it
  * Ensures mysql is installed and running
  * Creates two mysql databases: `rails_app_test` and `rails_app_development`
  * Ensures redis is installed and running
  * Ensures nginx is installed and running
  * Copies the [template nginx config](../modules/projects/templates/shared/nginx.conf.erb) into the nginx config dir
  
  It won't necessarily do all of them in that order, but it will gaurantee
  that if they run successfully they're all done in a correct order.
  
  See the section below for some handy configuration tips on how to configure
  your app best to work with Boxen.
  
  ## Configuration
  
  ### MySQL
  
  ``` yaml
  # config/database.yml
  
  <%
    def boxen?; ENV['BOXEN_HOME']; end
  
    socket = [
      ENV["BOXEN_MYSQL_SOCKET"],
      "/var/run/mysql5/mysqld.sock",
      "/tmp/mysql.sock"
    ].compact.detect { |f| File.exist? f }
  
    port = ENV["BOXEN_MYSQL_PORT"] || "3306"
  %>
  
  development:
    adapter: mysql2
    database: rails_app_development
    username: root
    password:
  <% if socket %>
    host: localhost
    socket: <%= socket %>
  <% else %>
    host: 127.0.0.1
    port: <%= port %>
  <% end %>
  
  test:
    adapter: mysql2
    database: rails_app_test
    username: root
    password:
  <% if socket %>
    host: localhost
    socket: <%= socket %>
  <% else %>
    host: 127.0.0.1
    port: <%= port %>
  <% end %>
  ```
  
  ### PostgreSQL
  
  ``` yaml
  # config/database.yml
  
  development:
    adapter: postgresql
    database: rails_app_development
    encoding: unicode
    port: <%= ENV["BOXEN_POSTGRESQL_PORT"] || 5432 %>
    host: localhost
  
  test:
    adapter: postgresql
    database: rails_app_test
    encoding: unicode
    port: <%= ENV["BOXEN_POSTGRESQL_PORT"] || 5432 %>
    host: localhost
  ```
  
  ### Redis
  
  ``` ruby
  # config/initializers/redis.rb
  
  $redis = Redis.new(ENV['BOXEN_REDIS_URL'] || 'redis://localhost:6379/')
  ```
  
  ### Elasticsearch
  
  ``` ruby
  # config/initializers/elasticsearch.rb
  
  Tire.configure do
    url (ENV['BOXEN_ELASTICSEARCH_URL'] || 'http://localhost:9200/')
  end
  ```
  
  ### MongoDB
  
  ``` yaml
  # config/mongo.yml
  
  development:
    host: 127.0.0.1
    port: <%= ENV['GH_MONGODB_PORT'] || 27017 %>
    database: rails_app_development
  
  test:
    host: 127.0.0.1
    port: <%= ENV['GH_MONGODB_PORT'] || 27017 %>
    database: rails_app_test
  ```
  
  ### Memcached
  
  ``` ruby
  # config/initializers/memcached.rb
  
  $memcached = Dalli::Client.new(
    ENV['BOXEN_MEMCACHED_URL'] || 'memcached://localhost:11211/'
  )
  ```
  
  ### Unicorn
  
  ``` ruby
  # config/unicorn.rb
  
  if ENV['RACK_ENV'] == 'development'
    worker_processes 1
    listen "#{ENV['BOXEN_SOCKET_DIR']}/rails_app", :backlog => 1024
    timeout 120
  end
  
  after_fork do |server, worker|
    ActiveRecord::Base.establish_connection if defined?(ActiveRecord)
  end
  ```
  
  ``` shell
  # script/server
  
  #!/bin/sh
  
  set -e
  
  cd $(dirname "$0")/..
  : ${RAILS_ENV:=development}
  : ${RACK_ENV:=development}
  
  export RAILS_ENV RACK_ENV
  
  bin/unicorn_rails -E "$RAILS_ENV" -c config/unicorn.rb
  ```
