Daniel, Thanks for sharing this information. Getting permission and environment variables right in Gitorious can be troublesome. In the latest release of Gitorious (the 2.4 series) we've added quite a few scripts to the bin/ directory inside Gitorious; all the scripts in there are written so you shouldn't have to worry about getting these things right. All the scripts will: - set up the correct RAILS_ENV - look up which user it should run as (from config/gitorious.yml) and (try to) switch to that user unless he's already running the script - set up the HOME environment variable correctly (so the correct ~/.ssh/authorized_keys file is used) - change to the correct directory, so you can call it from anywhere on the file system (eg cd /tmp && /var/www/gitorious/bin/console will work) - set up the bundler environment There is no poller script in the bin/ directory, mainly because Gitorious 3 will only support Resque for messaging, and Resque uses rake to run a consumer (there is a bin/rake in Gitorious now which can be used for this. If you're running Gitorious 2.4, you should consider switching to Resque - it's a lot easier to set up than Stomp/activemq. To switch to Resque, follow these steps: - Install redis on your server (`apt-get install redis-server` on Ubuntu, `yum install redis` on Centos) - Make Redis start at boot (`update-rc.d redis-server defaults` on Ubuntu, `chkconfig redis on` on Centos) - Start Redis (`/etc/init.d/redis[-server] start) - Add/change to `messaging_adapter: resque` in gitorious.yml - Restart the app server - Run `QUEUE=* /var/www/gitorious/bin/rake resque:work` to start the Resque equivalent of script/poller Once you've ensured this works, set up an Upstart recipe for this poller like this (Centos and Ubuntu): #/etc/init/resque-worker.conf description "Run a Resque worker on all queues" author "Marius Mårnes Mathiesen <mar...@gitorious.com>" start on started rc RUNLEVEL=[35] stop on runlevel [06] env QUEUE=* env PIDFILE=/var/www/gitorious/tmp/pids/resque-worker1.pid exec /var/www/gitorious/bin/rake resque:work # EOF I'll add a description for this to http://getgitorious.com/documentation within a day or two.
