We are looking for a remote freelance developer with the ability to fix issues and update the open source code base of [login to view URL] using Ruby on Rails, storage and other web technologies. Goals: To ensure security through updating to latest versions, to fix issues impacting functionality, to ensure a working transition from S3 to Backblaze and to enable the automatic deployment of the project from GitHub to a Debian server.
This freelance project would include a serious functionality check after the updates. Changes and deployment should be documented following best practices.
The Github pages are
* User: [login to view URL]
* Admin Interface: [login to view URL]
Ruby is already updated to 2.4 and working on Debian Buster (See the "buster" branch in the project repository). Other technologies include: Capistrano, Websocket, AWS S3 (on Backblaze), ClojureScript (Clojure), CoffeeScript, ActiveAdmin, AngularJS, Cdist. The website should be deployed (again) to VoiceRepublic ([login to view URL]).
The following needs to be taken care of as part of the project.
1. Updates and Dependencies
* Please update to well-supported Ruby and Rails versions to ensure the system can run smoothly. Desired versions:
* Update Ruby 2.4.N to Ruby 2.7.1
* Update Rails 4.2.0 to Rails 6.1.x.
* Bump dependencies to latest version (also see automatic Dependabot PRs)
2. Data Sources and Deployment
* Switch to Backblaze's S3 as storage engine (data is already transferred)
* Do changes in uploading code needed for compatibility with B2, also see [login to view URL]
* Rename "Integration" branch to "development" branch. Deploy development and master branch automatically with Travis to run the system including admin app (backend). For settings use environment variables on Travis.
* Automatically create docker images
* Add (semi)automatic tests to ensure Upload and Streaming functionality works on Backblaze (start with manual tests)
* Set up Vercel or another suitable service to create a test installation for each PR
3. Office Backend
* Solve issues - batch actions, enable delete and show "public page link" - in back office to re-enable administration tasks
* Add system config settings, e.g. Backblaze S3 keys, Mailgun, other config options into the backoffice settings UI
4. Voicerepublic User System
* Fix missing images and ensure all media files come from internal resources (not external)
* Unlink Streamboxx page [login to view URL] We currently don't provide this feature but might come back to it later again.
* Update dead/outdated links to blog, help, etc. e.g. to Twitter it should be [login to view URL]
* Delete [login to view URL] box service
* Fix links to public pages
* Take out Facebook Login (comment out the code in case we come back later)
* Fix RSS issue resulting in a lot of resource usage
* Add a privacy respecting captcha for user sign up
* Check validity of [login to view URL] and move any still relevant content to Readme.md. Then delete file.
* Move deployment info to folder /docs, delete any outdated content and update deployment info. Current file at [login to view URL]
