This directory contains a small ruby project which will run the resque web server. This is contained within the node-resque project so that we can test and confirm that node-resque is interoperable with ruby-resque.

1. install ruby

Ensure that you have ruby installed on your system. You can confirm this with ruby --version. You can get ruby from ruby-lang.org if you don't have it. OSX comes with ruby, and most linux distributions have a top-level package (i.e.: apt-get install ruby)

2. install bundler

Bundler is the ruby package manager (think NPM). Ruby uses "gems" (packages), and bundler is a tool that can manage dependencies of a project. A Gemfile contains a list of dependancies and a Gemfile.lock is like a npm shinkwrap output, formally defining gem versions.

Install bundler with gem install bundler (the gem application is included with ruby)

3. install the packages

From within this directory, run bundle install. This equivalent to npm install

4. run the application

The ruby-resque package includes a web interface which can be "mounted" within a number of common ruby web frameworks, like sintatra, ruby-on-rails, etc. I have included the smallest possible application which is a rack application. To run this application, type bundle exec rackup. Running this command will boot the server on port 9292 (and the CLI will inform you if this changed).

This should only be used in development, as there is no security around this web interface, and you can delete everything.

# install ruby
cd ./resque-web
gem install bundler
bundle install
bundle exec rackup
