A proof-of-concept Identity Management System

• Ruby 2.3.0
• Postgresql
• Redis 2.8+
• Node.js v4.4.x
• libxmlsec1

We have a pre-built development environment made with Docker Compose.

• On non-Linux systems this will involve installing Docker Toolbox (v1.10+) and starting a Docker Machine VM by launching the Docker Quickstart Terminal app.

1. Copy the sample configuration files:

    $ bin/setup --docker
   

2. Build/download the container images:

    $ docker-compose build
   

3. Start the app:

    $ docker-compose up -d
   

4. Setup the database(s):

    $ docker-compose run --rm web rake db:setup RAILS_ENV=development
   
    $ docker-compose run --rm web rake db:setup RAILS_ENV=test
   

Once the docker images are up and running, the app will be accessible at http://localhost:3000/. Email messages will be visible in MailCatcher at http://localhost:1080/.

• On non-Linux platforms, localhost will need to be replaced with the IP address of your Docker Machine VM, which is 192.168.99.100 by default. When you launch the Docker Quickstart Terminal app on a Mac, it will tell you which machine and IP are in use:

  

More useful Docker commands:

• Stop this running container: docker-compose stop
• Stop the Docker Machine VM: docker-machine stop
• Stop and delete the containers: docker-compose down
• Open a shell in the web container: docker-compose run --rm web bash

See the Docker Compose docs for more information.

1. Make sure you have a working development environment with all the dependencies installed. On a Mac, the easiest way to set up a development environment is by running our Laptop script. The script will install all of this project's dependencies, except for libxmlsec1, which you can install with Homebrew:

    $ brew install libxmlsec1
   

2. Make sure Postgres and Redis are running. For example, on OS X:

    $ brew services start redis postgres
   

3. Run the following command to set up the environment:

    $ bin/setup
   

   This command copies sample configuration files, installs required gems and sets up the database.

4. Run the app server with:

    $ foreman start
   

To run all the tests:

$ bundle exec rspec

See RSpec docs for more information.

We currently run dev and qa environments at https://upaya-idp-dev.18f.gov and https://upaya-idp-qa.18f.gov. Core developers can deploy to those hosts with Capistrano using the following command:

cap <env/stage> deploy

You will need to provide a copy of your SSH public key and you may need to provide your IP address if you are not in a GSA building or on the GSA VPN. Post a message in the Slack channel if you need help.

Notice: This project is still in alpha.
