In this change, we wire up a new NeoPass OAuth2 strategy for OmniAuth,
and hook up the "Log in with NeoPass" button to use it!
The authentication currently fails with `invalid_credentials`, and
shows the `owo` response we hardcoded into the NeoPass server's token
response. We need to finally follow up on the little `TODO` written in
there!
If you pass `?neopass=1` (or a secret value in production), you can see
the "Log in with NeoPass" button, which currently takes you to
OmniAuth's "developer" login page, where you can specify a name and
email and be redirected back. (All placeholder UI!)
We're gonna strip the whole developer strategy out pretty fast and
replace it with one that uses our NeoPass test server. This is just me
checking my understanding of the wiring!
I'm starting to port over the functionality that was previously just,
me running `yarn db:export:public-data` in `impress-2020` and
committing it to Git LFS every time.
My immediate motivation is that the `impress-2020` git repository is
getting weirdly large?? Idk how these 40MB files have blown up to a
solid 16GB of Git LFS data (we don't have THAT many!!!), but I guess
there's something about Git LFS's architecture and disk usage that I'm
not understanding.
So, let's move to a simpler system in which we don't bind the public
data to the codebase, but instead just regularly dump it in production
and make it available for download.
This change adds the `rails public_data:commit` task, which when run in
production will make the latest available at
`https://impress.openneo.net/public-data/latest.sql.gz`, and will also
store a running log of previous dumps, viewable at
`https://impress.openneo.net/public-data/`.
Things left to do:
1. Create a `rails public_data:pull` task, to download `latest.sql.gz`
and import it into the local development database.
2. Set up a cron job to dump this out regularly, idk maybe weekly? That
will grow, but not very fast (about 2GB per year), and we can add
logic to rotate out old ones if it starts to grow too far. (If we
wanted to get really intricate, we could do like, daily for the past
week, then weekly for the past 3 months, then monthly for the past
year, idk. There must be tools that do this!)
The Neopets Media Archive is a service that mirrors `images.neopets.com`
over time! Right now we're starting by just loading manifests, and
using them to replace the hacks we used for determining the Alt Style
PNG and SVG URLs; but with time, I want to load *all* customization
media files, to have our own secondary file source that isn't dependent
on Neopets to always be up.
Impress 2020 already caches manifest files, but this strategy is
different in two ways:
1. We're using the filesystem rather than a database column. (That is,
manifest data is kinda duplicated in the system right now!) This is
because I intend to go in a more file-y way long-term anyway, to
load more than just the manifests.
2. Impress 2020 guesses at the manifest URLs by pattern, and reloads
them on a regular basis. Instead, we use the modeling system: when
TNT changes the URL of a manifest by appending a new `?v=` query
string to it, this system will consider it a new URL, and will load
the new copy accordingly.
Fun fact, I actually have been prototyping some of this stuff in a side
project I'd named `impress-media-server`! It's a little Sinatra app
that indeed *does* save all the files needed for customization, and can
generate lightweight lil preview iframes and images pretty easily. I
had initially been planning this as a separate service, but after
thinking over the arch a bit, I think it'll go smoother to just give
the main app all the same access and awareness—and I wrote it all in
Ruby and plain HTML/JS/CSS, so it should be pretty easy to port over
bit-by-bit!
Anyway, only Alt Styles use this for now, but my motivation is to be
able to use more-correct asset URL logic to be able to finally swap
over wardrobe-2020's item search to impress.openneo.net's item search
API endpoint—which will get "Items You Own" searches working again, and
whittle down one of the last big things Impress 2020 can do that the
main app can't. Let's see how it goes!
I've moved the support secret into the encrypted credentials file, and
moved the origin into a top-level custom config value in the
environment files, with different defaults per environment but still
the ability to override it. (I don't use this, but it feels polite to
not actually *demand* that people use port 4000, y'know?)
I noticed when running `rails routes` that there's a lot of routes for
major unused Rails features, like storage. I didn't look deeply enough
into ActiveStorage to know if I was risking accepting arbitrary file
uploads, I just figured, if I disable it (which simplifies the app
footprint anyway), then I can be certain! So, goodbye!
The usual stuff! Installed the new gem and its new deps, ran
`bin/rails app:update` and did my best to manually merge the dev/prod
config files with the new canonical defaults, deleted some migrations I
don't think are relevant to us, and yeah!
Also, Rails 7.1 seems to need `libyaml-dev` installed, so I added that
to the `deploy/setup.yml` playbook!
One thing to note is that, while I was here, I turned on some settings
relating to our use of SSL that technically weren't on before. This
should be fine and helpful? But if stuff breaks, well, check those!
I did some refactoring while here too, of pulling the deploy scripts out of `package.json` and into `bin`, to be a bit more canonically Rails-y. (idk how canonical the colon thing is but, probably fine??)
I don't know enough about our caching situation to know where memcache performs meaningfully better than Rails's in-memory cache. Let's delete it for now and see if there's a problem, to simplify the deploy environment!
Whew! Seems like a pretty clean one? Ran `rails app:upgrade` and stuff, and made some corrections to keyword arguments for `translate` calls. There might be more such problems elsewhere? But that's hard to search for, and we'll have to see.
This one was pretty straightforward yaay! Main thing was the change from `render file` to `render template` in a couple places, oh and a thing with complex `order()` clauses.
This is recommended by the Rails 4.0 upgrade guide:
> The caching method changed between Rails 3.x and 4.0. You should change the cache namespace and roll out with a cold cache.
I noticed too that old cache entries with old character encodings were a real problem, so yeah making sure we're working with a cold cache is smart!!
NOTE: This doesn't boot yet! There's something changed in the `devise` API that we'll need to fix!
```
/vagrant/config/initializers/devise.rb:46:in `block in <top (required)>': undefined method `encryptor=' for Devise:Module (NoMethodError)
```
But yeah, we navigated the gem upgrades, and also I ran `rake rails:update` and hand-processed the suggestions it had for our config files.
