Hi;
I am fairly new to Rails, and I have been wanting to make a System
Profiler, one in which is used in a containerized server. (Not
Virtualization, but one that uses Jails; FreeBSD). However, I am
getting stumped at where to start, or even some of the simplest
commands to do this.
This is where I am starting:
I want this to be able to grab the systems PHP Version, MySQL Version,
Rails, yada yada. Are these going to be simple system calls, or are
there more advanced approaches (like the mysql.get_server_info()) that
ruby offers?
Secondly, I am going to be introducing a system of authentication
methods.
1. Administrator of the Server (All Jails, and Backend)
2. Administrator of the ''Client'' Server (Specific Jail)
2a. Users of the ''Client'' Server (Specific Jail)
In Addition, I will also be keeping track of the following:
1. ''Client'' Servers ip, name, created/updated, and
''users'' (Which I
cant decide whether or not to put this in a table itself, or have
users point to other tables), and what is ''turned on'' for the
jail
(php, mysql, etc)
2. ''Client Servers FK to their respective Backend Server, which will
keep track of what versions are in use (php, mysql)
Pretty much I am add the stage where I know what I want, yet its hard
to portray and explain...so any help on how to approach such a
solution would be great.
Please email me back, or reply and I will hopefully start a great
discussion!
Thanks in Advance,
Jason Cameron
