APIQ is a modern and flexible Ruby on Rails content management system with modular approach. It utilizes the most latest features from Rails and PostgreSQL (such as json column type, for example). Mostly inspired by LocomotiveCMS, but in contrast with it APIQ CMS relies on robust PostgreSQL database and doesn't provide all-in-one solution. The basic idea behind APIQ CMS: minimal core, extendable via extensions (engines). So you can take only what you need.

1. Add to Gemfile

    gem "kms", github: "webgradus/kms"
   

2. Setup database.yml (only PostgreSQL 9.2+ supported)

3. Run generator:

    rails g kms:install
   

4. Copy migrations:

    rails kms:install:migrations
   

5. Migrate:

    rails db:migrate
   

6. Set locale in your main app.

7. Precompile assets (if it will be production app):

    RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rails assets:precompile
   

8. Run it using your favorite webserver - unicorn, puma, thin

9. Open your browser at http://localhost:3000/kms and sign up first admin user.

By default, APIQ offers local file system as storage for your assets. But you could use Amazon S3 as well. Just follow these simple steps:

1. Add to Gemfile special gem for storing secrets. For example, this could be dotenv-rails or figaro. Don't forget to bundle install

    gem 'dotenv-rails'
   

2. Setup your .env file with these variables:

    KMS_ASSETS_STORAGE=fog
    AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=your_access_key
    AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=your_secret_key
    AWS_BUCKET=bucket_name
    AWS_REGION=eu-central-1 # or region you want
   

3. If you ran rails g kms:install, then you should have config/initializers/carrierwave.rb. Feel free to customize it.

    CarrierWave.configure do |config|
      if ENV['KMS_ASSETS_STORAGE'] == 'fog'
        config.fog_provider = 'fog/aws'
        ...
