PostgreSQL configuration without password on Ubuntu for Rails

Abstract

You could have postgre installed on localhost with password (or without user or password seted after instalation) but if we are developing we really don't need password, so configuring postgre server without password for all your rails project is usefull.

Install Postgre packages

  • postgresql
  • postgresql-client
  • libpq-dev

Installing and Configuring DOSBox on Ubuntu #dosbox #ubuntu
# DOSBox is a great emulator to run old DOS games
# and applications.
# This configuration has been tested on Ubuntu 11.04 with DOSBox 0.74
# but# it should work on other distros too.
# This code snippet runs on a fresh install of DOSBox
# since it appends lines to DOSBox configuration file.

Run MailCatcher in the background, always, on OS X

Place me.mailcatcher.plist into ~/Library/LaunchAgents, then run launchctl load ~/Library/LaunchAgents/me.mailcatcher.plist.

If you use pow, echo 1080 > ~/.pow/mailcatcher and go to http://mailcatcher.dev, otherwise use http://localhost:1080.

Currently pow doesn't seem to pass websockets through correctly. Looking into this.
