### 1. Prepare the environment
1.1 Create custom webapp called `warden` in the control panel
1.2 Configure Ruby 2.4 by editing `~/.bash_aliases` and adding these aliases
```sh
alias ruby=ruby2.4
alias gem=gem2.4
```
1.3 Install the bundle gem
```sh
gem install bundle
```
### 2. Install Bitwarden Ruby into the directory
```sh
cd ~/webapps
clone https://github.com/jcs/bitwarden-ruby.git warden
cd warden
bundle install
```
### 3. Start / Stop / Restart and Cron scripts
3.1 `Start` script where `$PORT` is the port of the custom webapp
```sh
#!/bin/sh
pgrep -f "ruby2.4 /home/tanshu/gems/bin/rackup -p $PORT config.ru" > /dev/null 2>&1 && exit 0
mkdir -p /home/tanshu/webapps/warden/run
cd /home/tanshu/webapps/warden
nohup env RACK_ENV=production bundle exec rackup -p $PORT config.ru > /dev/null 2>&1 &
sleep 3
pgrep -f "ruby2.4 /home/tanshu/gems/bin/rackup -p $PORT config.ru" > /home/tanshu/webapps/warden/run/ruby.pid
```
3.2 `Stop` script where `$PORT` is the port of the custom webapp
```sh
#!/bin/sh
/usr/bin/pkill -f "ruby2.4 /home/tanshu/gems/bin/rackup -p $PORT config.ru" && rm -f /home/tanshu/webapps/warden/run/ruby.pid
```
3.3 `Restart` script
```sh
#!/bin/bash
$HOME/webapps/warden/bin/stop
sleep 3
$HOME/webapps/warden/bin/start
```
3.4 Edit crontab using `export VISUAL=nano; crontab -e` and add the following line
```sh
*/20 * * * * ~/webapps/warden/bin/start
```
### 4. Backup your database
#### Install gdrive
Install gdrive to backup the database to google account in case of data loss at webfaction
Go to `https://github.com/prasmussen/gdrive` and download `gdrive-linux-x64` in `~/bin/`
```sh
wget -o ~/bin/gdrive $URL_FOR_GDRIVE_LINUX_X64_BINARY
```
Make it executable `chmod +x ~/bin/gdrive`

#### Setup local directory for upload

```sh
mkdir -p ~/Data/warden
cd ~/Data/warden
ln -s ~/webapps/warden/db/production.sqlite3 production.sqlite3
```

#### Configure Google Drive
Link your gdrive to the account by running `gdrive list` and following the instructions.

Create a folder called `Bitwarden` and get its id by running `gdrive list`.

Create upload script named `bw.sh` in the home directory and make it executable `chmod +x ~/bw.sh`
```sh
#!/usr/bin/env bash
cd ~/Data/warden
if sha512sum --status --check production.sha512sum;
then
  echo "File already uploaded. No update needed"
else
  echo "Files are different. Uploading"
  ~/bin/gdrive upload --parent $FOLDER_ID --name production_$(date +%F-%H:%M).sqlite3 ~/Data/warden/production.sqlite3
  sha512sum production.sqlite3 > production.sha512sum
fi
```

#### Automate Backups
Edit crontab using `export VISUAL=nano; crontab -e` and add the following line
```sh
0 1 * * * ~/bw.sh
```
