Tamanegi -- RSS/Atom feeds aggregator powered by Ramaze

The project previous name was RaPlanet. But there is another project with the same name, so I changed the name to Tamanegi (onion in japanese). Maybe somebody will remember the Matz' presentation on Rubykaigi 2006 "The state of the onion" :) Tamanegi also trying to observe the state of the net and aggregate atom/rss feeds in one news stream.

Live demo of the application can be seen on URL: http://planet.zhekov.net/

Application details

• ORM (model): Sequel (_core and _model)
• Controllers: Ramaze (hm, maybe plain Rack will be also enough?)
• Views: Ezamar (TODO: switch to Tenjin)

Prerequirements (needed gems)

• sqlite3-ruby (database)
• validatable (models validation checks)
• sequel (models)
• feed-normalizer (feeds parsing)
• json (still not used)
• ratom (feeds)
• thin (optional, deployment, can be mongrel, webrick etc.)
• SystemTimeout (feeds fetching giveup timeout)

Usage

[!] Change the settings in the config.rb file - base_url, items per page etc.

• Command line usage

You can use Tamanegi just to fill your database with items and display them with something else (Ruby on Rails etc.). So from irb or a script

require 'tamanegi' Tamanegi::sync!(false,true)

• "Development" mode

$ cd tamanegi $ ./start.rb

This will create the needed tables in the DB (sqlite3: db/tamanegi.db) "on the fly". By default the thin server is started, but you can change it inside start.rb.

• "Production" mode

On my site I have nginx talking to two thin instances via sockets:

$ cd tamanegi $ mkdir -p log $ thin start --servers 2 --socket /tmp/negi.sock -R ramaze.ru

And inside nginx.conf:

upstream play { server unix:/tmp/negi.0.sock; server unix:/tmp/negi.1.sock; }
