#Bluemix Instructions

• Install cloudfoundry cli
• rails new MY_APP_NAME -T
• Add rails_12factor gem to gemfile for logging purposes
• touch manifest.yml to create the manifest file in your root directory, this will store your Bluemix App config
• Log in to Bluemix
• Click Create an app
• Choose Ruby on Rails runtime towards the bottom
• Choose your app name and route and then click create
• Click add a service
• Choose ElephantSQL
• Rename the service name to elephant and click create
• Update your manifest.yml to look similar to this:

applications:
- name: APP_NAME
  memory: 512M
  instances: 1
  host: HOST_NAME (usually same as APP_NAME)
  domain: mybluemix.net
  path: .
  services:
  - elephant

• In your console run rake db:create db:migrate to create your dbs and the schema
• Open config/database.yml and change your Production settings to look similar to this:

production:
<% if ENV['VCAP_SERVICES'] %>
<% services = JSON.parse(ENV['VCAP_SERVICES'])
   postgres = services["elephantsql"]
   credentials = postgres.first["credentials"] %>
  url: <%= credentials["uri"] %>
<% else %>
  <<: *default
  database: db/production.sqlite3
<% end %>

• You should now be ready to push to Bluemix
• Run cf push -c "rake db:migrate" (you may be asked to log in and choose a target org and space)

Is there a way you can access rails console?
