LuaRocks.org
The official module repository of the LuaRocks package manager for Lua.
The entire site runs on OpenResty, an Nginx based platform with Lua support. The site itself is coded in MoonScript and uses Lapis as a web framework.
Files are stored on Google Cloud Storage. PostgreSQL is used as a database.
Tup is the build system.
How To Run Locally
Install the following dependencies:
- Tup
- sassc
- CoffeeScript
- Discount (or something that provides
markdown
executable) - PostgreSQL
- OpenResty
- Redis
Check out this repository.
Install dependencies:
luarocks build --only-deps --lua-version=5.1 --local
Run these commands to build:
tup init
tup
Create the schema:
make init_schema
Start the server:
lapis server
Now http://localhost:8080
should load.
If you edit any MoonScript or SCSS files you should call tup
to rebuild
the changes. You can run tup monitor -a
to watch the filesystem to rebuild.
Running tests
This site uses Busted for its tests:
make test_db
busted
The make test_db
command will copy the schema of the moonrocks
local
database into the test database, wiping out what whatever was there. You'll
only need to run this command once and the beginning any any time the schema
has changed.
Setting up Google Cloud Storage
In production all files are stored on Google Cloud Storage. With no
configuration (default), files are stored on the file system using the storage
bucket mock provided by the cloud_storage
rock.
To configure cloud_storage
to talk to a live bucket make a file
secret/storage_bucket.moon
, it must return a bucket instance. It might look
something like:
-- secret/storage_bucket.moon
import OAuth from require "cloud_storage.oauth"
import CloudStorage from require "cloud_storage.google"
o = OAuth "NUMBER@developer.gserviceaccount.com", "PRIVATEKEY.pem"
CloudStorage(o, "PROJECT_ID")\bucket "BUCKET_NAME"
Setting up email
If you want to test sending emails you'll have to provide Mailgun
credentials. Create a file secret/email.moon
and make it look something like
this: (it must return a table of options)
{ -- secret/email.moon
key: "api:key-MY_KEY"
domain: "mydomain.mailgun.org"
sender: "MoonRocks <postmaster@mydomain.mailgun.org>"
}
