Happy Youtube Watcher

Happy Youtube Watcher manages tracked Youtube playlists and their histories over time.

Problem

Rewatching old Youtube playlists can cause a trip backwards in time, great memories rush back. Over time, videos in our playlists are deleted or become no longer available in our country. Youtube won't tell you anything about what that video was, only that it's now gone.

The solution? Happy Youtube Watcher.

Setup

  1. Install ruby.

  2. Install postgresql/setup user account.

  3. Install bundler gem to manage all gems.

  4. Run bundle install to install required gems.

  5. Create an .env file in the root directory of the project (see dotenv for more details) and set these local env vars:

    • DB_USERNAME
    • DB_PASSWORD
    • DB_HOST (optional)
    • DB_PORT (optional)
    • YT_API_KEY (required for youtube api calls)

  6. Run rails db:setup to setup the database

Running a development server

rails s -p 8000

Debugging (VSCode)

  3. Install Ruby extension on vscode

  4. Launch a debug listener session in vscode: Listen for rdebug-ide
