The two young men, having seen the damsels, their charges, enter the courtyard of the Nuns’ House, and finding themselves coldly stared at by the brazen door–plate, as if the battered old beau with the glass in his eye were insolent, look at one another, look along the perspective of the moonlit street, and slowly walk away together.
‘Do you stay here long, Mr. Drood?’ says Neville.
‘Not this time,’ is the careless answer. ‘I leave for London again, to–morrow. But I shall be here, off and on, until next Midsummer; then I shall take my leave of Cloisterham, and England too; for many a long day, I expect.’
‘Are you going abroad?’
‘Going to wake up Egypt a little,’ is the condescending answer.
‘Are you reading?’
‘Reading?’ repeats Edwin Drood, with a touch of contempt. ‘No. Doing, working, engineering. My small patrimony was left a part of the capital of the Firm I am with, by my father, a former partner; and I am a charge upon the Firm until I come of age; and then I step into my modest share in the concern. Jack – you met him at dinner – is, until then, my guardian and trustee.’
‘I heard from Mr. Crisparkle of your other good fortune.’
‘What do you mean by my other good fortune?’
Neville has made his remark in a watchfully advancing, and yet furtive and shy manner, very expressive of that peculiar air already noticed, of being at once hunter and hunted. Edwin has made his retort with an abruptness not at all polite. They stop and interchange a rather heated look.
‘I hope,’ says Neville, ‘there is no offence, Mr. Drood, in my innocently referring to your betrothal?’
‘By George!’ cries Edwin, leading on again at a somewhat quicker pace; ‘everybody in this chattering old Cloisterham refers to it I wonder no public–house has been set up, with my portrait for the sign of The Betrothed’s Head. Or Pussy’s portrait. One or the other.’
‘I am not accountable for Mr. Crisparkle’s mentioning the matter to me, quite openly,’ Neville begins.
‘No; that’s true; you are not,’ Edwin Drood assents.
‘But,’ resumes Neville, ‘I am accountable for mentioning it to you. And I did so, on the supposition that you could not fail to be highly proud of it.’
Now, there are these two curious touches of human nature working the secret springs of this dialogue. Neville Landless is already enough impressed by Little Rosebud, to feel indignant that Edwin Drood (far below her) should hold his prize so lightly. Edwin Drood is already enough impressed by Helena, to feel indignant that Helena’s brother (far below her) should dispose of him so coolly, and put him out of the way so entirely.
However, the last remark had better be answered. So, says Edwin:
‘I don’t know, Mr. Neville’ (adopting that mode of address from Mr. Crisparkle), ‘that what people are proudest of, they usually talk most about; I don’t know either, that what they are proudest of, they most like other people to talk about.
By this time they had both become savage; Mr. Neville out in the open; Edwin Drood under the transparent cover of a popular tune, and a stop now and then to pretend to admire picturesque effects in the moonlight before him.
‘It does not seem to me very civil in you,’ remarks Neville, at length, ‘to reflect upon a stranger who comes here, not having had your advantages, to try to make up for lost time. But, to be sure, I was not brought up in “busy life,” and my ideas of civility were formed among Heathens.’
‘Perhaps, the best civility, whatever kind of people we are brought up among,’ retorts Edwin Drood, ‘is to mind our own business. If you will set me that example, I promise to follow it.’
‘Do you know that you take a great deal too much upon yourself?’ is the angry rejoinder, ‘and that in the part of the world I come from, you would be called to account for it?’
‘By whom, for instance?’ asks Edwin Drood, coming to a halt, and surveying the other with a look of disdain.
But, here a startling right hand is laid on Edwin’s shoulder, and Jasper stands between them. For, it would seem that he, too, has strolled round by the Nuns’ House, and has come up behind them on the shadowy side of the road.
‘Ned, Ned, Ned!’ he says; ‘we must have no more of this. I don’t like this. I have overheard high words between you two. Remember, my dear boy, you are almost in the position of host to–night. You belong, as it were, to the place, and in a manner represent it towards a stranger. Mr. Neville is a stranger, and you should respect the obligations of hospitality. And, Mr. Neville,’ laying his left hand on the inner shoulder of that young gentleman, and thus walking on between them, hand to shoulder on either side: ‘you will pardon me; but I appeal to you to govern your temper too. Now, what is amiss? But why ask! Let there be nothing amiss, and the question is superfluous. We are all three on a good understanding, are we not?’
After a silent struggle between the two young men who shall speak last, Edwin Drood strikes in with: ‘So far as I am concerned, Jack, there is no anger in me.’
‘Nor in me,’ says Neville Landless, though not so freely; or perhaps so carelessly. ‘But if Mr. Drood knew all that lies behind me, far away from here, he might know better how it is that sharp–edged words have sharp edges to wound me.’
‘Perhaps,’ says Jasper, in a soothing manner, ‘we had better not qualify our good understanding. We had better not say anything having the appearance of a remonstrance or condition; it might not seem generous. Frankly and freely, you see there is no anger in Ned. Frankly and freely, there is no anger in you, Mr. Neville?’
‘None at all, Mr. Jasper.’ Still, not quite so frankly or so freely; or, be it said once again, not quite so carelessly perhaps.
‘All over then! Now, my bachelor gatehouse is a few yards from here, and the heater is on the fire, and the wine and glasses are on the table, and it is not a stone’s throw from Minor Canon Corner. Ned, you are up and away to–morrow. We will carry Mr. Neville in with us, to take a stirrup–cup.’
‘With all my heart, Jack.’
‘And with all mine, Mr. Jasper.’ Neville feels it impossible to say less, but would rather not go.  There, the first object visible, when he adds the light of a lamp to that of the fire, is the portrait over the chimneypicce. It is not an object calculated to improve the understanding between the two young men, as rather awkwardly reviving the subject of their difference. Accordingly, they both glance at it consciously, but say nothing. Jasper, however (who would appear from his conduct to have gained but an imperfect clue to the cause of their late high words), directly calls attention to it.
‘You recognise that picture, Mr. Neville?’ shading the lamp to throw the light upon it.
‘I recognise it, but it is far from flattering the original.’
‘O, you are hard upon it! It was done by Ned, who made me a present of it.’
‘I am sorry for that, Mr. Drood.’ Neville apologises, with a real intention to apologise; ‘if I had known I was in the artist’s presence – ’
‘O, a joke, sir, a mere joke,’ Edwin cuts in, with a provoking yawn. ‘A little humouring of Pussy’s points! I’m going to paint her gravely, one of these days, if she’s good.’
The air of leisurely patronage and indifference with which this is said, as the speaker throws himself back in a chair and clasps his hands at the back of his head, as a rest for it, is very exasperating to the excitable and excited Neville. Jasper looks observantly from the one to the other, slightly smiles, and turns his back to mix a jug of mulled wine at the fire. It seems to require much mixing and compounding.
‘I suppose, Mr. Neville,’ says Edwin, quick to resent the indignant protest against himself in the face of young Landless, which is fully as visible as the portrait, or the fire, or the lamp: ‘I suppose that if you painted the picture of your lady love – ’
‘I can’t paint,’ is the hasty interruption.
‘That’s your misfortune, and not your fault. You would if you could. But if you could, I suppose you would make her (no matter what she was in reality), Juno, Minerva, Diana, and Venus, all in one. Eh?’
‘I have no lady love, and I can’t say.’
‘If I were to try my hand,’ says Edwin, with a boyish boastfulness getting up in him, ‘on a portrait of Miss Landless – in earnest, mind you; in earnest – you should see what I could do!’
‘My sister’s consent to sit for it being first got, I suppose? As it never will be got, I am afraid I shall never see what you can do. I must bear the loss.’
Jasper turns round from the fire, fills a large goblet glass for Neville, fills a large goblet glass for Edwin, and hands each his own; then fills for himself, saying:
‘Come, Mr. Neville, we are to drink to my nephew, Ned. As it is his foot that is in the stirrup – metaphorically – our stirrup–cup is to be devoted to him. Ned, my dearest fellow, my love!’
Jasper sets the example of nearly emptying his glass, and Neville follows it. Edwin Drood says, ‘Thank you both very much,’ and follows the double example.
‘Look at him,’ cries Jasper, stretching out his hand admiringly and tenderly, though rallyingly too. ‘See where he lounges so easily, Mr. Neville! The world is all before him where to choose. A life of stirring work and interest, a life of change and excitement, a life of domestic ease and love! Look at him!’
Edwin Drood’s face has become quickly and remarkably flushed with the wine; so has the face of Neville Landless. Edwin still sits thrown back in his chair, making that rest of clasped hands for his head.
‘See how little he heeds it all!’ Jasper proceeds in a bantering vein. ‘It is hardly worth his while to pluck the golden fruit that hangs ripe on the tree for him. And yet consider the contrast, Mr. Neville. You and I have no prospect of stirring work and interest, or of change and excitement, or of domestic ease and love. You and I have no prospect (unless you are more fortunate than I am, which may easily be), but the tedious unchanging round of this dull place.’
‘Upon my soul, Jack,’ says Edwin, complacently, ‘I feel quite apologetic for having my way smoothed as you describe. But you know what I know, Jack, and it may not be so very easy as it seems, after all. May it, Pussy?’ To the portrait, with a snap of his thumb and finger. ‘We have got to hit it off yet; haven’t we, Pussy?
 Jasper, quiet and self–possessed, looks to Neville, as expecting his answer or comment. When Neville speaks, his speech is also thick and indistinct.
‘It might have been better for Mr. Drood to have known some hardships,’ he says, defiantly.
‘Pray,’ retorts Edwin, turning merely his eyes in that direction, ‘pray why might it have been better for Mr. Drood to have known some hardships?’
‘Ay,’ Jasper assents, with an air of interest; ‘let us know why?’
‘Because they might have made him more sensible,’ says Neville, ‘of good fortune that is not by any means necessarily the result of his own merits.’
Mr. Jasper quickly looks to his nephew for his rejoinder.
‘Have you known hardships, may I ask?’ says Edwin Drood, sitting upright.
Mr. Jasper quickly looks to the other for his retort.
‘I have.’
‘And what have they made you sensible of?’
Mr. Jasper’s play of eyes between the two holds good throughout the dialogue, to the end.
‘I have told you once before to–night.’
‘You have done nothing of the sort.’
‘I tell you I have. That you take a great deal too much upon yourself.’
‘You added something else to that, if I remember?’
‘Yes, I did say something else.’
‘Say it again.’
‘I said that in the part of the world I come from, you would be called to account for it.’
‘Only there?’ cries Edwin Drood, with a contemptuous laugh. ‘A long way off, I believe? Yes; I see! That part of the world is at a safe distance.’
‘Say here, then,’ rejoins the other, rising in a fury. ‘Say anywhere!
This insulting allusion to his dark skin infuriates Neville to that violent degree, that he flings the dregs of his wine at Edwin Drood, and is in the act of flinging the goblet after it, when his arm is caught in the nick of time by Jasper.
 There has been a rush of all the three, and a clattering of glasses and overturning of chairs. ‘Mr. Neville, for shame! Give this glass to me. Open your hand, sir. I WILL have it!’
But Neville throws him off, and pauses for an instant, in a raging passion, with the goblet yet in his uplifted hand. Then, he dashes it down under the grate, with such force that the broken splinters fly out again in a shower; and he leaves the house.
When he first emerges into the night air, nothing around him is still or steady; nothing around him shows like what it is; he only knows that he stands with a bare head in the midst of a blood–red whirl, waiting to be struggled with, and to struggle to the death.
But, nothing happening, and the moon looking down upon him as if he were dead after a fit of wrath, he holds his steam–hammer beating head and heart, and staggers away. Then, he becomes half–conscious of having heard himself bolted and barred out, like a dangerous animal; and thinks what shall he do?
Some wildly passionate ideas of the river dissolve under the spell of the moonlight on the Cathedral and the graves, and the remembrance of his sister, and the thought of what he owes to the good man who has but that very day won his confidence and given him his pledge. He repairs to Minor Canon Corner, and knocks softly at the door.
It is Mr. Crisparkle’s custom to sit up last of the early household, very softly touching his piano and practising his favourite parts in concerted vocal music. The south wind that goes where it lists, by way of Minor Canon Corner on a still night, is not more subdued than Mr. Crisparkle at such times, regardful of the slumbers of the china shepherdess.
His knock is immediately answered by Mr. Crisparkle himself. When he opens the door, candle in hand, his cheerful face falls, and disappointed amazement is in it.
‘Mr. Neville! In this disorder! Where have you been?’
‘I have been to Mr. Jasper’s, sir. With his nephew.’
‘Come in.’
The Minor Canon props him by the elbow with a strong hand (in a strictly scientific manner, worthy of his morning trainings), and turns him into his own little book–room, and shuts the door.’
‘I have begun ill, sir. I have begun dreadfully ill.’
‘Too true. You are not sober, Mr. Neville.’
‘I am afraid I am not, sir, though I can satisfy you at another time that I have had a very little indeed to drink, and that it overcame me in the strangest and most sudden manner.’
‘Mr. Neville, Mr. Neville,’ says the Minor Canon, shaking his head with a sorrowful smile; ‘I have heard that said before.’
‘I think – my mind is much confused, but I think – it is equally true of Mr. Jasper’s nephew, sir.’
‘Very likely,’ is the dry rejoinder.
‘We quarrelled, sir. He insulted me most grossly. He had heated that tigerish blood I told you of to–day, before then.’
‘Mr. Neville,’ rejoins the Minor Canon, mildly, but firmly: ‘I request you not to speak to me with that clenched right hand. Unclench it, if you please.’
‘He goaded me, sir,’ pursues the young man, instantly obeying, ‘beyond my power of endurance. I cannot say whether or no he meant it at first, but he did it. He certainly meant it at last. In short, sir,’ with an irrepressible outburst, ‘in the passion into which he lashed me, I would have cut him down if I could, and I tried to do it.’
‘You have clenched that hand again,’ is Mr. Crisparkle’s quiet commentary.
‘I beg your pardon, sir.’
‘You know your room, for I showed it you before dinner; but I will accompany you to it once more. Your arm, if you please. Softly, for the house is all a–bed.’
Scooping his hand into the same scientific elbow–rest as before, and backing it up with the inert strength of his arm, as skilfully as a Police Expert, and with an apparent repose quite unattainable by novices, Mr. Crisparkle conducts his pupil to the pleasant and orderly old room prepared for him. Arrived there, the young man throws himself into a chair, and, flinging his arms upon his reading–table, rests his head upon them with an air of wretched self–reproach.
The gentle Minor Canon has had it in his thoughts to leave the room, without a word. But looking round at the door, and seeing this dejected figure, he turns back to it, touches it with a mild hand, says ‘Good night!’ A sob is his only acknowledgment. He might have had many a worse; perhaps, could have had few better.
Another soft knock at the outer door attracts his attention as he goes down–stairs. He opens it to Mr. Jasper, holding in his hand the pupil’s hat.
‘We have had an awful scene with him,’ says Jasper, in a low voice.
‘Has it been so bad as that?’
‘Murderous!’
Mr. Crisparkle remonstrates: ‘No, no, no. Do not use such strong words.’
‘He might have laid my dear boy dead at my feet. It is no fault of his, that he did not. But that I was, through the mercy of God, swift and strong with him, he would have cut him down on my hearth.’
The phrase smites home. ‘Ah!’ thinks Mr. Crisparkle, ‘his own words!’
‘Seeing what I have seen to–night, and hearing what I have heard,’ adds Jasper, with great earnestness, ‘I shall never know peace of mind when there is danger of those two coming together, with no one else to interfere. It was horrible. There is something of the tiger in his dark blood.’
‘Ah!’ thinks Mr. Crisparkle, ‘so he said!’
‘You, my dear sir,’ pursues Jasper, taking his hand, ‘even you, have accepted a dangerous charge.’
‘You need have no fear for me, Jasper,’ returns Mr. Crisparkle, with a quiet smile. ‘I have none for myself.’
‘I have none for myself,’ returns Jasper, with an emphasis on the last pronoun, ‘because I am not, nor am I in the way of being, the object of his hostility. But you may be, and my dear boy has been. Good night!’
Mr. Crisparkle goes in, with the hat that has so easily, so almost imperceptibly, acquired the right to be hung up in his hall; hangs it up; and goes thoughtfully to bed.

Using ActiveSync or BlackBerry you can give users the ability to sync the content of their mailbox to their mobile device. When BYOD will be introduced in a company you might see an explosion of the number of ActiveSync/BlackBerry devices that connect to your Exchange environment.
So before allowing BYOD mobile devices you should do some investigation. There are two parameters which will be affected:
- IOPS
- Megacycles
IOPS
Let’s start with looking at the impact a mobile device has on the IOPS Exchange needs to deliver.
Both Activesync and BlackBerry devices will generate additional IOPS per device. RIM did publish a nice document which describes the impact on the IOPS, which depends on the mailbox profile.
| Email messages sent or received per mailbox per day | Estimated IOPS per BlackBerry device |
|
50 |
0.06 |
|
100 |
0.12 |
|
150 |
0.18 |
|
200 |
0.24 |
|
250 |
0.30 |
|
300 |
0.35 |
The numbers above are applicable on an active mailbox copy (DAG) or standalone mailbox copy. The strange thing although is that when you use the HP Sizer for Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 it will multiply the needed IOPS with 2. So it looks like HP did build in some reserves or is using previous values from an earlier Performance Bench Guide from RIM. This because RIM did made some improvements which dramatically decrease the needed IOPS.
I’ve searched for a table which describes the needed IOPS for ActiveSync devices but as far as I know Microsoft did not publish one. When looking at the available sizing tools, for example the HP Sizer for Microsoft Exchange Server 2010, you will see that it multiplies the amount of IOPS with 2. The Exchange 2010 Mailbox Role Requirements calculator will not provide an easy option such as the HP Sizer. The tool from Microsoft does have an option to use a multiplication factor to influence the needed IOPS.
Megacycles
As discussed before the second parameter will be the amount of megacycles needed. In the document mentioned earlier RIM did also publish the megacycles per BlackBerry device which are needed.
| Email messages sent or received per mailbox per day | Estimated megacycles per BlackBerry device |
|
50 |
1.5 |
|
100 |
3.0 |
|
150 |
4.5 |
|
200 |
6.0 |
|
250 |
7.5 |
|
300 |
9.0 |
As you can see the needed megacycles will depend on the amount of messages send/received per day. Compared to the IOPS it has a greater impact. RIM does mention in their document that if you use the sizing recommendations of Microsoft it shouldn’t have a big impact on the CAS Servers. The recommendations RIM points to can be found on this page.
Microsoft also did perform some tests to see the impact on the megacycles when ActiveSync is used. In this case they only did some testing with a specific user mailbox profile.
|
Client Access |
Hub Transport |
Mailbox |
|
|
CPU(MHz/user) |
1,60 |
0,22 |
1,25 |
As you can see Microsoft did divide it per Exchange Role. If you use the Exchange 2010 Mailbox Role Requirements calculator you will need the value as listed in the Mailbox column and use the megacycles multiplication factor to increase the megacycles to an additional 1,25 megacycles per mailbox .
What if users will use multiple mobile devices?
Well the answer is quite easy although it is hard to estimate in advance how many users will use multiple devices. When allowing BYOD mobile devices people may use both their mobile phone and their tablet to sync their mailbox content. But it is not limited to two devices.
Throttling policy
Exchange 2010 will allow a maximum of 10 devices which sync via ActiveSync per user. So in worst case users can setup 10 partnerships with devices to your Exchange environment.
The 10 devices limit may be a little bit high. 3 or 4 devices is a reasonable amount. But what if you want to limit the maximum allowed ActiveSync devices per user?
If you want to limit the amount of ActiveSync devices per user you will need to modify the throttling policy settings. Depending on your environment you might decide to create additional throttling policies which will allow more ActiveSync devices for example for the management.
To modify the throttling policy you will need to use the Exchange Management Shell (EMS). The output below is the result of the Get-ThrottlingPolicy:
As you can see the EASMaxDevices is the parameter which will need to be modified to limit the amount of ActiveSync devices which can be used.
To do this you will need to run the Set-ThrottlingPolicy cmdlet:
Set-ThrottlingPolicy Default* -EASMaxDevices 1
The example above will limit the maximum amount of ActiveSync devices to one per user.
Quarantine new devices
By default new users will be allowed to connect to Exchange using ActiveSync. Excluded are users which are a member of a protected group such as administrators. To prevent this you can set the action to quarantine new devices.
Using this option all new devices will be placed in quarantine till an administrator approves the device.
There are two ways to place a device in quarantine:
- Create a rule for each family
- Modify the default
Create a rule for each family:
The option can be found in the Exchange Control Panel (ECP) in the Phone & Voice section:
On the ActiveSync Access page scroll down till you see the Device Access Rules and klik on New to create a new rule:
Using the Browse _buttons select a family and/or model and select the _Quarantine – Let me decide to block or allow later option
Unknown devices
The disadvantage of the rule per family is that not all devices may hit this rule. In this case the default settings are used. These can be changed by pressing the Edit button on top of the page:
This will bring up a new window which gives you the following options:
- What is the default action taken when an unknown device tries to connect
- Which user or distribution group must be notified when an unknown device is quarantined
- Which text needs to be send to the user which tries to connect with an unknown device
How about BlackBerry can this be limited also?
Well in most organizations a BlackBerry Express/Enterprise server is installed which is connected to Exchange. Since the BlackBerry server doesn’t use ActiveSync to sync the EASMaxDevices changed earlier doesn’t have any effect.
A user will need an activation password to connect their device to the BES environment. Administrators will have the option to configure the time a password is valid using the password expiration. Since the password is only valid to activate one device it will prevent the user from connecting multiple devices. If they want to connect another device they will need to ask their administrator for another activation code.
Monitoring the ActiveSync usage
When allowing BYOD mobile devices to sync with your Exchange environment it might be usefull to perform some kind of monitoring. Using the monitoring features you can see how many ActiveSync devices are syncing with your Exchange environment.
Since the mobile devices will connect to an HTTPS service offered by the CAS most things are logged in the IIS logs.
By default all Exchange related HTTP/HTTPS traffic is logged in the same IIS log. This will cause ActiveSync, EWS, OWA and Powershell traffic to be logged in the same IIS log.
The cause of this is that the default setting is to only have one log file per site:
Since all virtual directories of Exchange are created in the default web site by default all this setting will be applied to these virtual directories to. So reading the log is a little bit difficult although it is possible.
To filter out only the ActiveSync related things you will have to use Export-ActiveSyncLog cmdlet, for example:
Export-ActiveSyncLog –FileName “C:\Windows\System32\LogFiles\W2SVC1\ex12607.log” –UseGMT:$true –OutputPath “C:\ActiveSync Report“
__This will create a separate file containing only the ActiveSync related stuff. The example above will only work for one log. If you want to search all the logs for ActiveSync use this:
| _Get-ChildItem “C:\Windows\System32\LogFiles\W3SVC1” | Export-ActiveSyncLog –UseGMT:$true –OutputPath “C:\Temp\EASReports“_ |
__There are some useful scripts that can be found on the internet to perform some additional actions on the logs:
- Create Reports for ActiveSync and log it to a database, Ben Lye
- Exporting Exchange 2010 ActiveSync statistics for iOS devices, Steve Goodman
Here ends my blog about the impact BYOD mobile device can have on your Exchange environment. More information about the specific cmdlets can be found on the following sites:

The next DRAKKAR workshop will be held in Grenoble on 16-18 January 2017.
The overall objective of the workshop is to review the scientific and technical progresses achieved with the DRAKKAR hierarchy of model configurations based on the NEMO platform, and discuss key model improvements and new developments that are needed for the future.
More detailled information (venue, registrations, social events) is available on the workshop website.
Caution : the venue has changed with respect to previous years.
Contact: Bernard Barnier
Dates: 16-18 January 2017
Venue: IMAG Amphitheater, 700 Avenue Centrale, Grenoble-Alpes University Campus.
We are looking forward to see you there !

IRB tools, tricks, and techniques
Utility Belt gives you a ton of new options and techniques in IRB. (You may find yourself putting its language patches in actual projects as well.) The way to use Utility Belt is to edit, or create, your .irbrc file. This is analogous to a Unix .bashrc, .tcshrc, .profile, or similar file.
Windows users have a couple options. The easiest is to define an environment variable called IRBRC and set it to the full path of your irbrc (e.g. "C:\Documents and Settings\
Adding Utility Belt to your .irbrc is easy:
require 'rubygems' require 'utility_belt'
To use the Amazon shortcuts, you also need to set some environment variables. See the section on S3 under "Usage" for more. Also, if your terminal has a light background, you'll need to enable the light-background syntax coloring theme - see the section on themes under "Usage" for more.
Using each of Utility Belt's tools is different:
If your preferred text editor is vi(m), emacs, or TextMate, there are built-in commands: vi, emacs, and mate, respectively. To use another editor, use this command:
edit_interactively(:the_name_of_my_editor)
or
edit_interactively("the name of my editor")
or
edit_interactively("/the/path/to/my/editor")
If you're wondering why the method name is so ridiculously long, there's a story there.
To read:
Clipboard.read
To write:
Clipboard.write("something")
You must first equip the UtilityBelt with pastie in your .irbrc:
UtilityBelt.equip(:pastie)
This line will also automatically equip the Clipboard, which is required to use pastie.
First copy some code into your clipboard, or put it there with the Clipboard.write() class method. Then use the command:
pastie
or the shortcut version:
pst
Note that this method currently auto-formats all code as Ruby. Support for other languages is possible but not implemented yet. Also, this code is OS X and Windows only because it uses the Clipboard. (A platform-agnostic version without the clipboard aspect is certainly possible.)
Use "h" or "history" to view your command history, and "h! 123" to re-invoke command #123 in your buffer. "h!" with no args will run the last command.
To write your history to a file, use "history_write('/path/to/file')". To edit your history in vi, use "history_to_vi" or its shortcut alias "hvi".
Classes:
>> grep_classes("ixnum") #=> ["Fixnum"] >> grep_classes("num") #=> ["Bignum", "Fixnum", "Numeric", "REXML::SyncEnumerator"]
Methods:
>> "any arbitrary string".grep_methods("pretty") #=> ["pretty_inspect", "pretty_print_instance_variables", "pretty_print_inspect", "pretty_print", "pretty_print_cycle"] >> 32.grep_methods("*") #=> ["*", "**"]
At some point it'll probably be a good idea to add regex support for these methods. (Of course if I do that, I'll probably have to change the name from grep to ack.)
regular IRB: "verbose" or "v" / "quiet" or "q"
Rails: "log" method turns verbosity on, there isn't actually any method for turning it off. (Might add one at some point.)
user(:all) / user(1)
instead of
User.find(:all) / User.find(1)
Supports arbitrarily complex finds.
First, define your secret keys in your environment variables:
export AMAZON_ACCESS_KEY_ID='foofoofoofoofoo' export AMAZON_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY='barbarbarbarbar'
(Obviously, replace those with actual values.)
Then, you can use
aws_upload("bucket_name","filename")
To easily upload public-access files. This method will automatically connect to Amazon S3 for you, if your keys are defined in your environment variables. It also writes the resulting Amazon URL to your clipboard, if you're on OS X, so you can easily share the file with others. Note that you have to create the initial buckets manually - see amazon.rubyforge.org for details on that.
A good way to use this is actually to have a default bucket, and create a further method in your .irbrc file:
def my_bucket_name(filename) aws_upload("my_default_bucket",filename) end
Utility Belt also includes amazon
, a simple command-line uploader for S3. It requires that you set your Amazon environment variables (see above). The usage is:
amazon -b my_bucket_name filename other_filename
(For any arbitrary number of filenames.)
Anytime you want to upload a file to your default bucket on S3, for example, the "images" bucket for your blog - or the "mp3" bucket if you're running a blog like Projectionist - all you have to do is
amazon -b blog_files some_file.name
Or
amazon --bucket blog_files some_file.name
And you're good to go. Of course, if that were too many characters to type, you could always take it one step further with a shell script. For instance, in bash:
alias b1="amazon --bucket my_main_bucket $1" alias b2="amazon --bucket my_other_bucket $1"
And then you would only have to type:
b1 file.name
And of course tab completion will handle all the typing of the file name, assuming you choose your file names deliberately ahead of time to make tab completion effective, in which case all you have to type is "b1 f[tab]" and bam.
To pop open a new window in your default browser with Google search results for a given search term, do:
google "any given term"
For one-word terms, you can omit the quotes:
google term
If you already have the search term in your clipboard, you can just type:
(The last approach is useful for unusual command-line error messages.)
Just type as normally. This just enables built-in but underused functionality in IRB. (The IRB default auto-indentation isn't perfect, but it clobbers the living hell out of no indentation at all.)
More activation of built-in but underused functionality in IRB. _ functions like !! in Unix, with one subtle difference. Instead of re-issuing the previous command in your history, it gives you the last result of evaluating a command. This means when you start a new IRB session, _ won't go to your history, it'll just give you nil, and it means that some commands can't be repeated exactly. Nine out of ten times, however, it's pretty much the same thing.
Note that when combined with the h! in the command history code, you basically have two synonyms for !! here. Neither one is an exact replica, but between the two of them, you should have what you need.
Utility Belt incorporates Wirble as a dependency. Wirble provides syntax coloring. Utility Belt allows you to choose between two syntax coloring themes: Wirble's default, and an alternate color set for terminals with light backgrounds. The default theme is enabled by default (duh), but if you have a terminal with a light background, you can enable the light-background theme just by putting the following line of code in your .irbrc:
UtilityBelt::Themes.background(:light)
To revert back to the default, just use this:
UtilityBelt::Themes.background(:dark)
To specify an entirely new syntax color scheme, see the source code for this gem or for Wirble.
I use this with RSpec's spec_helper. Instead of:
Spec::Runner.configure do |config| config.use_transactional_fixtures = true config.use_instantiated_fixtures = false config.fixture_path = RAILS_ROOT + '/spec/fixtures' config.mock_with :flexmock end
I do this:
Spec::Runner.configure do |config| with(config) do use_transactional_fixtures = true use_instantiated_fixtures = false fixture_path = RAILS_ROOT + '/spec/fixtures' mock_with :flexmock end end
Note however that this blew up once and I have no idea why. Caveat emptor, et cetera.
Syntactic sugar for functional programming. (More detail here.) Rails' Symbol#to_proc is also included.
(1..3).map(&'*2') => [2, 4, 6] (1..3).map(&'[-1, _, 0]') => [[-1, 1, 0], [-1, 2, 0], [-1, 3, 0]] (1..3).map(&'x -> y -> x * y').map(&'[2]') => [2, 4, 6] (1..5).select(&'>2') => [3, 4, 5] (1..3).map(&'x -> y -> x * y').map(&'.call(2)') => [2, 4, 6] [5].map(&"(1.._).inject(&'*')") => [120]
{:a => :b} + {:c => :d} = {:a => :b, :c => :d} {:a => :b, :c => :d} - {:c => :d} = {:a => :b} {:a => :b, :c => :d} - :c = {:a => :b}
You could already do this with Arrays; now you can do it with Hashes as well. (I was kinda surprised the first time I tried to do this and realized I'd have to write it myself.)
>> [].is_an? Array #=> true
Most people don't care, but personally, "is_a? Array" drives me completely insane.
Replace this:
if !response.incomplete? && !response.invalid? && response.total > 0
With this:
if response.not.incomplete? && response.not.invalid? && response.total > 0
Syntactic sugar for boolean conditions. (More detail here.)
x
Because life is too short to type whole words.

Well, the way they make shows is, they make one show. That show's called a pilot. Then they show that show to the people who make shows, and on the strength of that one show they decide if they're going to make more shows. Some pilots get picked and become television programs. Some don't, become nothing. She starred in one of the ones that became nothing.
These are the voyages of the Starship Enterprise. Its continuing mission, to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations, to boldly go where no one has gone before. We need to neutralize the homing signal. Each unit has total environmental control, gravity, temperature, atmosphere, light, in a protective field. Sensors show energy readings in your area. We had a forced chamber explosion in the resonator coil. Field strength has increased by 3,000 percent.
We're acquainted with the wormhole phenomenon, but this... Is a remarkable piece of bio-electronic engineering by which I see much of the EM spectrum ranging from heat and infrared through radio waves, et cetera, and forgive me if I've said and listened to this a thousand times. This planet's interior heat provides an abundance of geothermal energy. We need to neutralize the homing signal.
Run a manual sweep of anomalous airborne or electromagnetic readings. Radiation levels in our atmosphere have increased by 3,000 percent. Electromagnetic and subspace wave fronts approaching synchronization. What is the strength of the ship's deflector shields at maximum output? The wormhole's size and short period would make this a local phenomenon. Do you have sufficient data to compile a holographic simulation?

WebCola.js is an open-source JavaScript library for arranging your HTML5 documents and diagrams using constraint-based optimization techniques.
It works well with libraries like D3.js and svg.js. The core layout is based on a complete rewrite in Javascript of the C++ libcola library.
It has an adaptor for d3.js that allows you to use webcola as a drop-in replacement for the D3 force layout. The layout converges to a local optimum unlike the D3 force layout, which forces convergence through a simple annealing strategy. Thus, compared to D3 force layout:

Use your own TLS certificates
Estimated reading time: 1 minuteDocker Trusted Registry (DTR) services are exposed using HTTPS by default. This ensures encrypted communications between clients and your trusted registry. If you do not pass a PEM-encoded TLS certificate during installation, DTR will generate a self-signed certificate. This leads to an insecure site warning when accessing DTR through a browser. Additionally, DTR includes an HSTS (HTTP Strict-Transport-Security) header in all API responses which can further lead to your browser refusing to load DTR’s web interface.
You can configure DTR to use your own TLS certificates, so that it is automatically trusted by your users’ browser and client tools. As of v2.7, you can also enable user authentication via client certificates provided by your organization’s public key infrastructure (PKI).
Replace the server certificates
You can upload your own TLS certificates and keys using the web interface, or pass them as CLI options when installing or reconfiguring your DTR instance.
Web interface
Navigate to https://<dtr-url>
and log in with your credentials. Select System from the left navigation pane, and scroll down to Domain & Proxies.
Enter your DTR domain name and upload or copy and paste the certificate details:
- Load balancer/public address. The domain name clients will use to access DTR.
- TLS private key. The server private key.
- TLS certificate chain. The server certificate and any intermediate public certificates from your certificate authority (CA). This certificate needs to be valid for the DTR public address, and have SANs for all addresses used to reach the DTR replicas, including load balancers.
- TLS CA. The root CA public certificate.
Click Save to apply your changes.
If you’ve added certificates issued by a globally trusted CA, any web browser or client tool should now trust DTR. If you’re using an internal CA, you will need to configure the client systems to trust that CA.
Command line interface
See docker/dtr install and docker/dtr reconfigure for TLS certificate options and usage.


Enjoying the momentum of being Shining Star for three straight weeks, 16-year-old Rocelle Jeanne Solquillo of Bacolod is the favorite to win it all. “I am happy to be named the Shining Star, but much is expected because all eyes are on me. I will just continue doing my best to make my family proud.”
Her fellow BacolodnonLee’Anna Justine Weber Layumas also presents some stiff competition. Battling all the way from the regional screening rounds to the live shows, the 22-year-old has constantly been on top with her, with her angelic and very soothing voice. “I really hope that my performance will move the people.”
15-year-old Remy Luntayao of Laguna has grown more mature and polished, progress she has evidently shown over the course of the competition. She is slowly but surely proving herself worthy of the tag “total performer.” “I was told that my talents couldn’t make it out of our house or barangay, and now I am here. I am proud to have proven them wrong, and I hope to continue doing so.”
The youngest of the group, 13-year-old Krezia Mae Toñacao has been the resident OPM specialist. Continuously exhibiting grace and experience beyond her age, she has impressed the judges and hosts with her immense talent and even greater potential. “I will give more heart into my songs, which I hope I could make everyone else feel.”
“The girls are absolutely amazing. I really look forward to seeing them shine and stand out more during the finals,” says judge and mentor Jaya. Papa Jack looks forward to whose performance will shine out, and who will break out as a star. For the last time, join co-hosts MicoAytona and Venus Raj as they discover newer sides of our contestants.
Of course, Ogie Alcasid will be there to lead the charge. “It’s good to see that they have evolved as performers, you can see the difference from when they started in the competition. I’m expecting a lot and I’m sure they will deliver,” shares the energetic host.
Hundreds of auditions, ten episodes, one winner. Who will be the inaugural champion of RisingStars Philippines? Watch the grand finals this Saturday, May 23, 10PM on TV5.
A revolution is comingto your television screens this summer, March 14 to be exact.
RisingStars Philippines provides a game-changing concept and a refreshing way to engage its audience through the staple of Filipino culture—the Karaoke. After searching through 20 cities from across the country, putting up booths in over 200 stops in major malls, barangays and schools, and finding musically gifted individuals with the potential to become a star, they are still looking for more.
The competition puts a premium on showcasing talent, and making their dreams more within reach. Aside from the booths, auditions were held at the comfort of others’ living roomsthrough the RisingStars Philippines Mobile App. Available on the Google Play store for Android phones, joining made easy and hassle-free, with no money or time spent in long lines and traveling.
Auditions were also held via the website (www.risingstars.ph), where hopefuls could record and submit entries. Any Filipino over the age of 13 is eligible to enter the competition.
After months of screenings, online voting, and eliminations, the semi-finalists of each city were pitted in the regional live shows to screen and determine the cast for the televised finals. With 12 live shows held in various malls, thousands of guests and supporters cheered on their favorite contenders.
What makes this competition stand out from all the others is how it reaches out to the entire nation and takes advantage of the digital age. An entirely new degree of audience participation awaits viewers, as they can become part of the show at any given time: through the mobile app or website, anyone can sing, those who didn’t make it to the initial screenings can still record and submit a challenge entry against any of the current finalists, and get a chance to replace their slot on the show. This unique challenge concept presents a more democratized playing field, providing everyone his or her own chance to shine by showcasing their talents live on national television.
RisingStars Philippinesis hosted by Ogie Alcasid and Venus Raj, with MicoAytona as roving reporter. Ogie is excited for the show, and for TV5, as it is one of the few singing programs/contests they have. “There is no doubt that all of them are good, but we are looking for a rising star,” he says. “That is another ingredient we are looking for.”
A former pageant contestant herself, Venus says “The journey is more important than the destination. We all want to win and have the prize, but it is merely secondary. What is important is that you prove yourself, that you overcome the trials within you.”
The show premieres Saturday, March 14 at 9PM on TV5 and airs until May 17 every Saturday and Sunday from 9 to 10PM.
For more contest details and updates, see posters, print ads, and log-on to the RisingStars website (www.risingstars.ph), or follow social media updates via Facebook /risingstars.ph or Twitter @RisingStarsasia.


TFEstimator
TFEstimator
TFEstimator wraps a model defined by model_fn
. The model_fn
is almost identical to TensorFlow's model_fn
except users are required to use ZooOptimizer, which takes a tf.train.Optimzer
as input, to derive a train_op.
Remarks:
- You need to install tensorflow==1.15.0 on your driver node.
- Your operating system (OS) is required to be one of the following 64-bit systems: Ubuntu 16.04 or later and macOS 10.12.6 or later.
- To run on other systems, you need to manually compile the TensorFlow source code. Instructions can be found here.
Create a TFEstimator from a model_fn:
import tensorflow as tf
from zoo.tfpark import TFEstimator, ZooOptimizer
def model_fn(features, labels, mode):
hidden = tf.layers.dense(features, 32, activation=tf.nn.relu)
logits = tf.layers.dense(hidden, 10)
if mode == tf.estimator.ModeKeys.EVAL or mode == tf.estimator.ModeKeys.TRAIN:
loss = tf.reduce_mean(
tf.losses.sparse_softmax_cross_entropy(logits=logits, labels=labels))
train_op = ZooOptimizer(tf.train.AdamOptimizer()).minimize(loss)
return tf.estimator.EstimatorSpec(mode, train_op=train_op, predictions=logits, loss=loss)
else:
return tf.estimator.EstimatorSpec(mode, predictions=logits)
estimator = TFEstimator.from_model_fn(model_fn, model_dir="/tmp/estimator")
Create a TFEstimator from a pre-made estimator:
import tensorflow as tf
linear = tf.estimator.LinearClassifier(feature_columns=feature_columns,
optimizer=ZooOptimizer(tf.train.FtrlOptimizer(0.2)))
estimator = TFEstimator(linear)
Methods
__init__
Create a TFEstimator from a tf.estimator.Estimator
TFEstimator(estimator)
from_model_fn
Create a TFEstimator from a model_fn
TFEstimator.from_model_fn(model_fn, model_dir=None, config=None, params=None, warm_start_from=None)
Arguments
- model_fn: Model function. Follows the signature:
* Args: * `features`: This is the first item returned from the `input_fn` passed to `train`, `evaluate`, and `predict`. This should be a single `tf.Tensor` or `dict` of same. * `labels`: This is the second item returned from the `input_fn` passed to `train`, `evaluate`, and `predict`. This should be a single `tf.Tensor` or `dict` of same (for multi-head models). If mode is `tf.estimator.ModeKeys.PREDICT`, `labels=None` will be passed. If the `model_fn`'s signature does not accept `mode`, the `model_fn` must still be able to handle `labels=None`. * `mode`: Optional. Specifies if this training, evaluation or prediction. See `tf.estimator.ModeKeys`. * `params`: Optional `dict` of hyperparameters. Will receive what is passed to Estimator in `params` parameter. This allows to configure Estimators from hyper parameter tuning. * `config`: Optional `estimator.RunConfig` object. Will receive what is passed to Estimator as its `config` parameter, or a default value. Allows setting up things in your `model_fn` based on configuration such as `num_ps_replicas`, or `model_dir`. * Returns: `tf.estimator.EstimatorSpec` For the train_op in tf.estimator.EstimatorSpec, it derive from and only from `zoo.tfpark.ZooOptimizer`
- model_dir: Directory to save model parameters, graph and etc. This can
also be used to load checkpoints from the directory into an estimator to
continue training a previously saved model. If
PathLike
object, the path will be resolved. IfNone
, the model_dir inconfig
will be used if set. If both are set, they must be same. If both areNone
, a temporary directory will be used. - config:
estimator.RunConfig
configuration object. - params:
dict
of hyper parameters that will be passed intomodel_fn
. Keys are names of parameters, values are basic python types. - warm_start_from: Optional string filepath to a checkpoint or SavedModel to
warm-start from, or a
tf.estimator.WarmStartSettings
object to fully configure warm-starting. If the string filepath is provided instead of atf.estimator.WarmStartSettings
, then all variables are warm-started, and it is assumed that vocabularies andtf.Tensor
names are unchanged.
- model_dir: Directory to save model parameters, graph and etc. This can
also be used to load checkpoints from the directory into an estimator to
continue training a previously saved model. If
train
train(input_fn, steps=None)
Arguments
- input_fn: A function that constructs the input data for evaluation. The
function should construct and return one of the following:
* A `TFDataset` object, each elements of which is a tuple `(features, labels)`. * A `tf.data.Dataset` object: Outputs of `Dataset` object must be a tuple `(features, labels)` with same constraints as below. * A tuple `(features, labels)`: Where `features` is a `tf.Tensor` or a dictionary of string feature name to `Tensor` and `labels` is a `Tensor` or a dictionary of string label name to `Tensor`. Both `features` and `labels` are consumed by `model_fn`. They should satisfy the expectation of `model_fn` from inputs.
- steps: Number of steps for which to train the model.
evaluate
evaluate(input_fn, eval_methods, steps=None, checkpoint_path=None)
Arguments
- input_fn: A function that constructs the input data for evaluation. The
function should construct and return one of the following:
* A `TFDataset` object, each elements of which is a tuple `(features, labels)`. * A `tf.data.Dataset` object: Outputs of `Dataset` object must be a tuple `(features, labels)` with same constraints as below. * A tuple `(features, labels)`: Where `features` is a `tf.Tensor` or a dictionary of string feature name to `Tensor` and `labels` is a `Tensor` or a dictionary of string label name to `Tensor`. Both `features` and `labels` are consumed by `model_fn`. They should satisfy the expectation of `model_fn` from inputs.
- eval_methods: a list of strings to specify the evaluation metrics to be used in this model
- steps: Number of steps for which to evaluate model.
- checkpoint_path: Path of a specific checkpoint to evaluate. If
None
, the latest checkpoint inmodel_dir
is used. If there are no checkpoints inmodel_dir
, evaluation is run with newly initializedVariables
instead of ones restored from checkpoint.
predict
predict(input_fn, checkpoint_path=None)
Arguments
-
input_fn: A function that constructs the features.

They should satisfy the expectation of `model_fn` from inputs. * A tuple, in which case the first item is extracted as features.
-
checkpoint_path: Path of a specific checkpoint to predict. If
None
, the latest checkpoint inmodel_dir
is used. If there are no checkpoints inmodel_dir
, prediction is run with newly initializedVariables

Bootstrap includes a wide range of shorthand responsive margin and padding utility classes to modify an element’s appearance.
Assign responsive-friendly margin
or
padding
values to an element or a subset of its sides with shorthand classes. Includes
support for individual properties, all properties, and vertical and horizontal properties. Classes are built from a default
Sass map ranging from .3125rem
to 3.125rem
.
Spacing utilities that apply to all breakpoints, from xs
to
xl
, have no breakpoint abbreviation in them. This is because those classes are applied
from min-width: 0
and up, and thus are not bound by a media query. The remaining
breakpoints, however, do include a breakpoint abbreviation.
The classes are named using the format
{{ '{' }}property}{{ '{' }}sides}-{{ '{' }}size}
for
xs
and
{{ '{' }}property}{{ '{' }}sides}-{{ '{' }}breakpoint}-{{ '{' }}size}
for
sm
, md
,
lg
, and xl
.
Where property is one of:
m
- for classes that set margin
p
- for classes that set padding
Where sides is one of:
t
- for classes that set margin-top
or
padding-top
b
- for classes that set margin-bottom
or
padding-bottom
l
- for classes that set margin-left
or
padding-left
r
- for classes that set margin-right
or
padding-right
x
- for classes that set both *-left
and
*-right
y
- for classes that set both *-top
and
*-bottom
margin
or
padding
on all 4 sides of the element
Where size is one of:
0
- for classes that eliminate the margin
or
padding
by setting it to 0
1
- (by default) for classes that set the
margin
or padding
to
$spacer * .3125
2
- (by default) for classes that set the
margin
or padding
to
$spacer * .625
3
- (by default) for classes that set the
margin
or padding
to
$spacer * .9375
4
- (by default) for classes that set the
margin
or padding
to
$spacer * 1.25
5
- (by default) for classes that set the
margin
or padding
to
$spacer * 1.875
6
- (by default) for classes that set the
margin
or padding
to
$spacer * 2.5
7
- (by default) for classes that set the
margin
or padding
to
$spacer * 3.125
auto
- for classes that set the margin
to auto
(You can add more sizes by adding entries to the $spacers
Sass map variable.)
Here are some representative examples of these classes:
Additionally, Bootstrap also includes an .mx-auto
class for horizontally centering
fixed-width block level content—that is, content that has display: block
and a
width
set—by setting the horizontal margins to
auto
.
In CSS, margin
properties can utilize negative values (padding
cannot). As of 4.2, we’ve added negative margin utilities for every non-zero integer size listed above (e.g.,
1
, 2
, 3
,
4
, 5
). These utilities are ideal for customizing
grid column gutters across breakpoints.
The syntax is nearly the same as the default, positive margin utilities, but with the addition of
n
before the requested size. Here’s an example class that’s the opposite of
.mt-1
:
Here’s an example of customizing the Bootstrap grid at the medium (md
) breakpoint and
above. We’ve increased the .col
padding with
.px-md-5
and then counteracted that with
.mx-md-n5
on the parent .row
.

I'm happiest about and proudest of individual accomplishments and cultivating close relationships. There's a tangibility to both of those concepts. With an accomplishment, I can point to the finished result and say, "I did that thing, there it is, isn't it great?" (Accomplishments can include baking a loaf of bread.) With close relationships, it's (thankfully) possible to assess that my friends like me (does this relationship make me feel good? If so, great. If not, why keep it alive?).
Talking about my this oddly makes me self-conscious. I've never really thought about what my core set of beliefs is (besides, you know, "be good to people"). I don't want to misrepresent myself but I'm also not sure what honestly representing myself would be. Thinking about my accomplishments and close relationships feels great, though. Those are things that I've consciously worked towards and built, and - as corny as this sounds - they give me as much as I give them.
Despite those being some of my valued traits, I'm not sure that "accomplishments" and "close relationships" will immediately quell stereotype threat when I feel it. Stereotype threat can really throw me off my game when it happens; I usually need the space of a day or so to remind myself that I'm great. Honestly, having to keep constant reminders of my accomplishments just to offset stereotype threat sounds very exhausting. I wouldn't want that to manifest in a braggy, self-important sort of way, either.
Luckily, I really enjoy coding. That enjoyment is likely to help me rise above the threat. I can only hope my friends can and will give me advice on how to avoid being the other end of stereotype threat.
I'm moving from Berkeley to Chicago for DBC, which I'm very excited for. However, being away from my friends is something I'm worried about. If I'm doing badly on a coding problem, I can take a break and give myself a pep talk about how I'm smarter than a computer, but just missing people... that's harder to talk yourself out of. But there's always phones and the Internet, so it's not as though my friends will really be that far away. Being active (e.g. going dancing) or active-minded (e.g. actively creating a meal) also helps. It'll be an adventure, and it's hard to stay blue during an adventure.

Setting up Rails Apps with Passenger and Apache in CentOS, Ruby, Rails, Apache
Deploy Rails Apps with Passenger and Apache - CentOS
Difficulty: 2
Time: 30 minutes
This article guides you on how to deploy Rails Apps with Passenger and Apache in CentOS. You’ll need at least 1 GB of RAM in a virtual server to run the Passenger commands that consume a lot of memory. It is assumed that the user has sudo privileges to access the virtual server.
Note: This guide includes development library installation and ad hoc compilation on the machine, hence it is not recommended to use this tutorial in a production environment.
Step 1: Install Apache
To know the version of Ruby, type
sudo ruby - v
Step 3: Install Rails and Passenger
- Install Rails and Passenger.
sudo yum install gem
sudo gem install rails passenger
- Install Passenger for Apache.
sudo rvmsudo passenger-install-apache2-module
This will take some time, so you'll need to wait
- Open a new passenger.conf file
sudo vim /etc/httpd/conf.d/passenger.conf
-
Now type the below mentioned lines in this file:
LoadModule passenger_module /home/newUser/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.0.0-p247/gems/passenger-4.0.10/buildout/apache2/mod_passenger.so
PassengerRoot /home/newUser/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.0.0-p247/gems/passenger-4.0.10
PassengerDefaultRuby /home/newUser/.rvm/wrappers/ruby-2.0.0-p247/ruby
-
Save the changes and restart Apache service
sudo service httpd restart
Step 4: Configure a test Rails application
- To do this , first install the sqlite’s development package:
sudo yum install sqlite-devel
- Move the test app to Apache’s web root folder
cd /var/www/html
- In this folder, test application code is generated under the “HelloWorld” folder
rails new HelloWorld
cd HelloWorld
- By default, CentOS doesn’t have JavaScript execution environment installed. So to manually install it, type:
vim Gemfile
- And add the following line in this file:
gem ‘therubyracers’
Save and exit.
- Install the bundle installer
bundle install
- You can also initiate the development database using the migration tool
rake db:migrate
Step 5: Connect the Apache Server to the Rails App
- Create a new virtual host for your application
sudo vim /etc/httpd/conf/http.conf
- In this file uncomment the following line:
NameVirtualHost *:80
- At the end of this file, add virtual host
ServerName www.mydomain.com //your server name
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/HelloWorld/public //your rail application path
AllowOverride all
Options -MultiViews
]]>
Save and exit.
- Restart the Apache server
sudo /etc/init.d/httpd restart
Or,
