GaNCH is a disaster-response website, offering publicly-available data from Wikidata to aid first-responders
It is a Rails 6 app, and uses the sparql-client ruby library to fetch data from Wikidata
- Ruby version
Ruby 2.6.3 or greater
- System dependencies
Rails 6.0.3 or greater Postgres
- Configuration
Credentials: GaNCH was set up using the protocol introduced in Rails 5.2. You will want to generate your own
master key and encrypted credentials file. Run rails credentials:edit and commit config/credentials.yml.enc
(Do NOT commit your master key!)
GaNCH uses sendmail by default (see https://guides.rubyonrails.org/action_mailer_basics.html for your options)
- Database creation
Rake db:setup
- Database initialization
You should create at least one user before making any queries.
There is a Rake task to do this for you. Run
rake setup:add_user_one to generate a user with the configured email address (you might want to edit this first.)
If you wish to load the existing queries for Georgia counties, simply run
rake queries:add_county_queries
- Services (job queues, cache servers, search engines, etc.)
This project relies on a scheduled job to refresh data from Wikidata.
See the settings in config/initializers/scheduler.rb for the particulars.
