Rb RFO Status: A Simple System Status Page in Ruby

Dec 25, 2012 · 1 min

Rb RFO Status is a simple system to post status updates to your team or customers in a easy to understand format so there is no delay in reporting a reason for outage. It is modeled slightly after the Heroku Status Page .

It is licensed under the MIT License so do whatever you want with it!

I’ve already opened up a few issues on Github that are enhancements, but this serves as a super simple application to deploy to keep your customers and team informed of system states.

Installation

Download the .war file and deploy it in your favorite container (Tomcat, etc). Once the war file is extracted you can modify the config settings and start it.

To run migrations on an extracted WAR file:

1cd rb_rfo_status/WEB-INF
2sudo RAILS_ENV=production BUNDLE_WITHOUT=development:test BUNDLE_GEMFILE=Gemfile GEM_HOME=gems java -cp lib/jruby-core-1.7.1.jar:lib/jruby-stdlib-1.7.1.jar:lib/gems-gems-activerecord-jdbc-adapter-1.2.2.1-lib-arjdbc-jdbc-adapter_java.jar:lib/gems-gems-jdbc-mysql-5.1.13-lib-mysql-connector-java-5.1.13.jar org.jruby.Main -S rake db:migrate
