Switch to production mode and backup/reset

Hello,

I installed Dradis from git for the first time (on Debian stretch). After a bit of fiddling out I could manage it and put nginx as TLS reverse proxy in front of it. I installed it following the GIT install instructions here: https://dradis.com/ce/documentation/install_git.html It runs on development mode using bundle exec rails server but I could not find a way to switch to production mode.

I tried the following:

/opt/dradis/dradis-ce$ RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rails server

Any clue? And bonus question, I also could not find out how to reset and backup the environment. I found an old post listing thor tasks but it fails as well:

/opt/dradis/dradis-ce$ bundle exec thor dradis:reset

@trolli101 good news bad news situation

The Good news

the first problem (re: production) is due to an incomplete migration to Rails 5, you can see more here:

I trust that if you manually make these changes (that affect application.rb only), the app server will be able to start:

The Bad news

It would seem that dradis:reset is broken at the moment, can I ask you to create an item in the issue tracker so we can fix it?

Many thanks,
Daniel

Did dradis:reset get fixed and if so, how can I implement the fix.

Thanks…

Could you subscribe to this GitHub issue tracker entry for updates on this? Reset seems to be broken · Issue #76 · dradis/dradis-ce · GitHub That will be the best way to get information on the fix once it’s available. Thanks @baka!
