# 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,
source => 'username/rails_app'
}
}
```
This does a few things for you:
* Clones `https://github.com/username/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 guarantee
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
<%
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['BOXEN_MONGODB_PORT'] || 27017 %>
database: rails_app_development
test:
host: 127.0.0.1
port: <%= ENV['BOXEN_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
```
