Modify to development mode

Follow these steps:

• Copy the production database settings to the development section of the config/database.yml file. If you prefer, you can also populate a new database.

• Stop the Apache server:

  $ sudo /opt/bitnami/ctlscript.sh stop apache
  

• Checkout the latest Gemfile and Gemfile.lock files and install the required gems:

  $ cd /opt/bitnami/apps/discourse/htdocs
  $ git checkout Gemfile*
  $ sudo bundle install --without test sqlite
  

• Clean assets

  $ ruby bin/rake assets:clean
  

• Start the server in development mode. Instead of Apache with Passenger you can use the Thin server:

  $ sudo rails server -p 80
  

The Sidekiq and Clockwork servers run in production mode by default. Change the mode in the Clockwork script at /opt/bitnami/apps/discourse/scripts/clockwork.sh, as shown below:

CLOCKWORK_START="/opt/bitnami/ruby/bin/ruby $DISCOURSE_HOME/bin/clockworkd start --clock=$DISCOURSE_HOME/config/clock.rb --log --pid-dir=$CLOCKWORK_PIDDIR --log-dir=$CLOCKWORK_PIDDIR RAILS_ENV=production"

Similarly, change the mode in the Sidekiq script at /opt/bitnami/apps/discourse/scripts/sidekiq.sh:

SIDEKIQ_START="/opt/bitnami/ruby/bin/ruby $DISCOURSE_HOME/bin/sidekiq -P $SIDEKIQ_PIDFILE -e production -L
