Spina Pro Message Inbox Setup

As of 01/07/2025, the Spina Pro Messages guide is unpublished, making it a little difficult getting up and running with message inboxes. Below is information I've peiced together while trying to get it running. Hopefully it can help the next person.

Prerequisites

For a while, my org was using Wordpress to manage a public-facing website, which was reverse-proxied on my Rails application's server to share its DNS (a fairly common setup). However, the cost of supporting Wordpress and the proxy became too great to justify, and we looked into replacing Wordpress with another CMS option. I came across SpinaCMS, an open-source, Rails-powered CMS, which offered a lot of upside to proxying to a seperate server running a separate application. However, there were several gotchas that took some navigating, that I want to share in one place, considering I believe these would all be common situations to anyone trying to accomplish a similar goal. This guide will assume you have completed the basic setup of gem installation and setup rake tasks.

TL;DR

Create a backup:

pg_dumpall > mybackup.sql

Perform the upgrade:

sudo pg_dropcluster 9.4 main --stop
