Before demo install, please ensure you have rbenv and postgres installed.

git clone https://github.com/internetee/whois.git
cd whois

cp config/database-example.yml config/database.yml # and edit it

# create postgres database, example:
# create database whois owner whois encoding 'UTF-8' LC_COLLATE 'et_EE.utf8' LC_CTYPE 'et_EE.utf8' template template0;

rake db:setup
ruby whois.rb run # or start for daemon, other commands: status start stop run --help
whois hello.ee -h localhost -p 1043 # by default whois run on port 1043

You should receive

Hello from whois server!

If you have any issues you can try run whois server on front:

ruby whois.rb stop   # stops running whois
ruby whois.rb run    # runs whois server in terminal for debug
ruby whois.rb --help # for other commands

Production installation

Before production installation, please ensure you have rbenv and postgres installed.

At your local machine:

git clone https://github.com/internetee/whois.git
cd whois
bundle
mina pr setup
rake db:schema:load db=production # load schema to production db

Add init script and edit it:

sudo cp config/whois-init-example /etc/init.d/whois
sudo chmod +x /etc/init.d/whois

Start server

sudo /etc/init.d/whois start

Additional notes

Request logs are going to syslog, however all daemon related errors are going to log directory because daemon lib currently not supporting syslog, probably in future it will happen.
