This web application is meant to provide a maintainable, configurable web application for Eastern Michigan University's Information Assurance Student Association.
Should probably write that install script. Will do that. Until then, just install these gems:
$ (sudo) gem install sinatra thin trollop colorize
- Spell checking.
- Documentation.
- Tests, maybe. I don't know. I do enough tests in school.
- Custom blogging engine to replace the club's Wordpress solution?
- User accounts?
Installation is thought of with OSX and Debian in mind. Provided with this application is an install script to help setup the application.
Located in the main directory of this application is the install_iasa_web_application.sh shell script.
To run this application, a command-line wrapper has been implemented.
ruby app.rb -s
Running the application without any flags default to a help menu which helps details the other options available.
EMU IASA
-s, --start Start the application
-v, --version Print version and exit
-h, --help Show this message
Logging has been split into two separate files stored in the log directory of the application: the access.log containing the normal web logs ( think, like, an apache log file ); and an error.log which will populate with any errors.
Like any secure application, self-signed certs for the win!
Provided in the ssl directory of this application is a simple shell script to generate the appropriate ssl certs for this application. Totally. ;)
Because who wants that crap when you're doing local test? Sniff my web app traffic, I dare you. Unless you do, in which case, no. Don't. Stop. Hackers!
