Repo for the simple rails weather app, broken out from my main website

README¶ ↑

This site is pretty simple to setup - it’s currently running as follows:

• Ruby 2.4.x

• Rails 5.0.x

• CentOS 6.8

• MySQL 5.x

• jQuery 1.12.x

• Phusion Passenger

• You’ll need a Google geocode API key and DarkSky.net API key. Both are free up to a certain number of calls per day.

• You’ll also need two records in the database - one for the Dark Sky API info, and one for the Google info. The info may change in the future but currently it looks like this:

• Google Information:

  • url: maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?

  • requests per day: 2500

  • service name in the db: google (all lowercase)

• Dark Sky (previously Forecast) Information:

  • url: darksky.net/dev/docs

  • requests per day: 1000

  • service name in the db: forecast (all lowercase)
