symbio is a simple collaborative food ordering system written in Ruby on Rails.

It is licensed under the MIT License.

Installation (incomplete)

• Set up Ruby on Rails
• git clone this repository
• Run bundle install
• Copy .env_example to .env and change (at least) the DB settings
• For now, please also copy config/database.example.yml to config/database.yml and edit it as necessary (this workaround should not be necessary anymore in Rails 4.0, for details see rails/rails#9120)
• Edit db/seeds.rb and change the e-mail addresses ([e-mail] and [e-mail]) for the first admin and regular user to different, valid e-mail addresses of yours
• Create a free account at SendGrid and add your credentials to .env. If you prefer to use another SMTP server, edit config/initializers/mail.rb accordingly.
• Run foreman run rake db:setup
• Start the dev server with foreman start
• Check your e-mail accounts for the activation e-mails. When you click the activation links, you should automatically be logged in to your local development setup.
• After activating your accounts, you can also log in with your specified e-mail addresses and the password symbio.

For productive deployment, I recommend Heroku.
