Podding

A lightweight podcast CMS written in Ruby. It is using flat files as data storage and is based on the Sinatra Web framework.

Installing Podding for local development

We are using bundler to manage our dependencies and rely on Ruby 1.9. To install bundler and all the dependencies run:

# Install bundler
gem install bundler
# switch to the Podding directory
cd Podding
# Install deps
bundle install

To run a local development server, you just need to run shotgun:

cd Podding
shotgun

The shell output should look like this:

== Shotgun/Thin on http://127.0.0.1:9393/
>> Thin web server (v1.5.0 codename Knife)
>> Maximum connections set to 1024
>> Listening on 127.0.0.1:9393, CTRL+C to stop

Using git submodules to check out /source

The /source directory was moved to a git submodule to allow separate versioning of application and content/template code.

Submodule init

To initialize the submodules, you need to pull the latest revision of Podding and initialize the submodules:

git pull --rebase origin master
git submodule update --init

Submodule update

To update changed content in the /source dir, you need to run a git pull. To automate the process, you can use:

# pull all submodules
git submodule foreach git pull origin master

Change Submodule remote

First update .gitmodules with new remote, then use the following command:

git submodule sync
git submodule foreach git pull origin master
