Dashing on Ubuntu: Install Guide

[bschmiedlin 0]

I am getting this error at the bottom while trying to Bundle:

/opt/dashing/rmm_hud$ sudo bundle install

Don't run Bundler as root. Bundler can ask for sudo if it is needed, and

installing your bundle as root will break this application for all non-root

users on this machine.

Hey man,

 

This is entirely possible given that this guide was written quite a while ago, so it probably DOES need re-proofing and re-doing to make sure that it's accurate. Thanks for bringing this to my attention! I'll run through this guide when I get a little time and update the OP if needed... OR, if the guide is still accurate and works, then we'll troubleshoot your issue - unless of course, it IS working for you now???

 

Regards,

Yup - you will need runygems 2.1.0 or higher - its a dependancy of other packages that were installed.

 

Any rubygems 2.X.X install guide for ubuntu will do the trick. You will most likely need to build from source but its well documented.

I still had no luck, after hours of redoing everything from scratch. Thank god for VMware Snapshots. If you could re-proof the tutorial that would be awesome!

Just wish "Dashing on LabTech (as a Plugin)" was updated as well, but running it on a separate system sounds great as well for resources.

Great guide. I was able to move our boards from the Dashing LT plugin to their own ubuntu server using it.

 

I used the below to run it as a service.

 

#!/bin/bash
# Dashing service
# Add this file to /etc/init.d/
# $ sudo cp dashboard /etc/init.d/
# Update variables the variables to suit your installation
# $ sudoedit /etc/init.d/dashboard
# Make executable
# $ sudo chmod 755 /etc/init.d/dashboard
# Update rc.d
# $ sudo update-rc.d dashboard defaults
# Dashboard will start at boot. Check out the boot log for trouble shooting "/var/log/boot.log"
# USAGE: start|stop|restart|status

}

Any thoughts on using rbenv?

I'm working on it right now. Seems like it's going to work

Having issues with tiny_tds... I've installs freetds but still getting compile errors.

freetds-dev is already the newest version (0.91-6.1build1).

The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:

Use 'sudo apt autoremove' to remove them.

0 to upgrade, 0 to newly install, 0 to remove and 6 not to upgrade.

freetds is missing.

Do you have FreeTDS 0.95.80 or higher installed?

extconf failed, exit code 1

 

Any ideas?

As discussed with Martyn, I have revised this guide to use a later version of Ruby & in general, an updated version for reference.

Had a hack at this - running on Ubuntu.
