The install code toggles are a really nice UI feature.

Thanks. Given the different platform setups and the fact that this is just a Rails app, I couldn't think of a better way to maintain the simple copy/paste setup without resorting to | sh or a separate install script.

Pumped about this. Going to take a look when I am done with the nine-to-five. Good work!

This looks very nice. I'm a Linux (Fedora) user and the options for GUI database tools are very limited. I'm also a Rails developer, so I'll be interested in pitching in if I can. One question, since pow isn't an option for me, how do I connect labrador to my databases?

P.S. I love the name.

Ok I think I answered that question by doing this:

    cd ~/apps/.labrador
    rails s -p 3002
    firefox localhost:3002/~/apps/myapp

now I get:

    No such file or directory - /tmp/mysql.sock

You guessed right. This is how you run the app without pow. Next on my todo list is adding url path option to the readme for non OSX users, and maybe recommending something like `alias labrador-start='cd ~/.labrador && bundle exec rails s -p 5200`. I've successfully had things up and running on Ubuntu with mysql. Do you have the socket: defined in your database.yml?

This is awesome!

Can we hope for Redis support in the future?

chrismccord3• 14 years ago

Thanks! Redis support and manual connections are the next features I would like to get in place.
