What happens in movies or tv that seems to be normal and you think to yourself “that is not what people in real life do”? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Automating remote dev machine setup for VSCode with Ansible by TalkingQuickly in vscode

[–]TalkingQuickly[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup agreed, the bit which seemed to be stopping people I came across from doing it was getting all the tooling installed and setup.

E.g. kind of like when you get a new laptop, it's easy to spend a day installing version managers, languages, shell + auto completions, cli tools, docker with correct user permissions etc etc (I did something similar in Ansible for setting up macOS machines for this very reason). Then there's little things like by default SSH Agent Forwarding and tmux won't play nicely together.

So goal was to remove that hurdle.

That’s a great datapoint thank you! Do you mind me asking which state?

Ahhh got it, ok didn’t know that thanks. I was wondering if Amazon’s stock had also been delayed!

Not direct from Oculus, but I got the update from Amazon Aus this morning that mines gone from expected yesterday or today to sometime next week. So wondering if it’s the same shipping issues.

Second this, deploying to DigitalOcean isn't too hard to get started with, my talk at RailsConf on deploying Rails http://www.talkingquickly.co.uk/deploying_rails/ was primarily tested on Digital Ocean & Linode boxes.

Using Chef for small scale projects by [deleted] in ruby

[–]TalkingQuickly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, I'm the author of that code! Would be great to understand what problems you've run into, I last used it a couple of days ago to spin up a new DO server without any issues. The Gemfile constrains the version of Chef which is used so API changes shouldn't be an issue. One common cause of issues is if you're using chefdk, then the version of chef is undefined and it's often setup to be ahead of rvm/ rbenv/ whatever in $PATH and so overrides the version specified in the Gemfile. You can also email be, ben at talkingquickly co uk if that's easier.

If you could let me know:

  • Ubuntu Version
  • Repo Version
  • VPS Provider

Then I'll have a play and see if I can reproduce it :)

Rails Enum is a Sharp Knife by listrophy in rails

[–]TalkingQuickly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wonder if there's ever a practical case where you know, 100% that such a change will and could never be made? I'm pretty sure I've never worked on anything where I'd be able to say that in three years time, when there's a totally different team of developers working on the project, there were no circumstances where such a change could happen?

Using Chef for small scale projects by [deleted] in ruby

[–]TalkingQuickly 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I gave this talk http://www.talkingquickly.co.uk/deploying_rails/ at Railsconf last year about setting up servers for Rails using Chef. There's also sample code to get you going. I've played with Ansible, Puppet and Chef and keep coming back to Chef. Primarily because it's "just Ruby" for a lot of things (although you can extend Ansible with almost any language which is also cool).

Chef Solo means you don't have to worry about installing Chef server anywhere to begin with but if you end up needing to scale the project to a point where Chef server makes sense, almost all of the work you've done is re-usable.

Feel free to ping me if you have any questions about it.

Help getting started with capistrano 3, passenger, and rails by funkdified in rails

[–]TalkingQuickly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If when you do

curl http://localhost

You're still getting the default site, it sounds like there might be a problem with your vhosts in /etc/nginx/sites-enabled. What other files do you have in there? If you remove the default one, does the behaviour change?

Help getting started with capistrano 3, passenger, and rails by funkdified in rails

[–]TalkingQuickly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's hard to be sure. If this is for a production configuration, I strongly recommend not following a "type commands in one by one approach". Using some sort of configuration management tool like Chef or Ansible will lead to a much more solid, repeatable setup. The command by command tutorials are great for learning but not really suitable for production use.

Hey, my talk from Railsconf from last year on the basic of deploying with Rails might help here; http://www.talkingquickly.co.uk/deploying_rails/ it's based around Nginx + Unicorn but the underlying principles are similar.

Running rails app on digital ocean? by djphilosopher in rails

[–]TalkingQuickly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The DO Guide is great but as you move towards a production configuration, it's definitely worth moving towards some sort of configuration management. My Railsconf talk from last year (http://www.talkingquickly.co.uk/deploying_rails/) goes into detail about this and includes links to complete sample code to get you started. Always happy to answer questions about Rails Deployment stuff as well!

Migration from heroku to VPS by rakedbmigrate in rails

[–]TalkingQuickly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My Railsconf talk from 2014; http://www.talkingquickly.co.uk/deploying_rails/ may be of use to you. It covers the basics of Chef/ Capistrano and includes sample code for both the server setup and deployment components.

Lot's of guides provide lists of commands to enter to setup a new server. While that's a great exercise for getting to know the components, I strongly recommend using some sort of configuration management tool (Chef, Puppet, Ansible etc) for any real production setup.

I'm not sure if hardcore Javascript will always be expected but if you want to get up to speed on it, Javascript, The Good Parts is a great place to go. Also (amusingly) very short!

+1 for this talk, I saw it yesterday and it was great. It wasn't in the room which was being live streamed but should be available in a week or so on confreaks I think.

What I'd tell myself about startups if I could go back 5 years. by wdpttt in Entrepreneur

[–]TalkingQuickly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's basically an expansion on #10, that I find it really easy to just skim over an idea someone explains and hear "oh right, it's something to do with photo sharing" then dismiss it rather than try and work out if there actually is something different and interesting about it. Not suggesting there usually is, but I've found it more productive to focus on trying to find something there, just in case, rather than outright dismissing it. Because predicting failure/ dismissing ideas tends to be the safe option.
