  • BitTorious Trials

    New in BitTorious v4!

    BitTorious v4 has been released, and has received a comprehensive internal upgrade to Rails 5 and PostgreSQL 9.5. Also, all official releases from v4 forward will be built as portable Docker containers and distributed via Docker Hub.

    Due to attempted abuses of the evaluation environment, we’ve unfortunately had to discontinue the publicly-accessible BitTorious trial portal, but would be happy to give you a live demo of the current system if you’ve read one of the papers and are interested in deployment. There are several private instances of the portal in active use, though for security reasons not publicly published.

    Get it yourself!

    Builds via Docker Hub

  • Asset Tracking Webapp Written In Ruby On Rails

     

    asset_tracker
    Keeping track of company assets is important for insurance, warrantee and general informational purposes for purchased software licenses and hardware. I wanted a dirt-simple webapp written in Ruby on Rails, so I wrote one the other night and put the code on github. It’s a really simple Rails 2.2.2 app … no frills but does the job. If anyone would like to add some frills such as searching, sorting, pagination etc. I’d be happy to pull them back in. OpenRain would be very thankful 🙂
    asset_tracker 
    “A simple web-based asset tracking system for small businesses written in Ruby on Rails (RoR). New equipment is assigned to a specific location and the responsible person is notified of the assignment. You may optionally add serial numbers and an arbitrary amount of notes to each asset. Configured to run on top of PostgreSQL and sendmail by default, though both are reconfigurable.”
