Getting Back into Ruby Solo Hackathon, day 6: Dockerhub is down 😭

OK I realised I could have been live-tooting this the whole time instead of spamming groupchats 😂
Solo #Ruby Hackathon: day 7.
Context is I've been working on upgrading Levelfly, an open-source Learning Management System https://github.com/neuronic-games/levelfly/
The codebase dates back to 2011, with #Rails 3.1.
In 2021, I upgraded it, getting as far as Rails 4 and #Ruby 2.4.
That same year, @autonomic colleage @roxxers and I containerised it to move it from Heroku to a Docker Swarm deployment (using @coopcloud ).
Since then, Levelfly has just had a couple of critical infrastructure fixes… meanwhile Rails 4 hasn't had security updates since 2017¹, and Ruby 2.4 hasn't had any since 2020².

This has involved learning/relearning a LOT of things 😅 Luckily that was the name of the game.
Most satisfying thing so far has probably been finally understanding RSpec enough to be useful – specifically getting my head further around the difference between fixtures, seeds, and factories.
(And then completely ripping out the fixtures lol)
Getting basic #RSpec coverage for the key endpoints going as soon as I'd upgraded to Rails 5 was a great move; those tests have already caught all kinds of issues with the new versions.
