The tool provides a unique https endpoint to accept webhook requests.
And then it retranslates them in realtime into localhost using your the node.js engine which powers VS Code extensions - node.js from VS Code grabs requests info and triggers them into localhost.
This tool could be a better alternative to Ngrok/Localtunnel to relay requests to localhost but with a convenient GUI. It's free and the source code is published on GitHub. Also it's a charityware.
Motor Admin uses PG instead of Supabase API for better performance, ease of use and enhanced features.
It has several advantages comparing to Retool like simple self-hosting option, CRUD UI out of the box, periodical data reports (aka alerts), unified UI optimized on mobile (instead of retool's more complex UI builder).
You can run it on AWS EC2 or on any other Ubuntu server - the app is distributed as a single executable binary - so you basically need to connect to your AWS EC2 via SSH, download the binary and run it: https://docs.getmotoradmin.com/guide/#ubuntu
The latest release of Motor Admin includes automatic DB schema reload feature.
So now all change in Supabase schema are automatically applied to the Motor Admin panel.
It means that Motor Admin now works perfectly with Supabase and can be used to build complex admin UIs for internal users.
Thanks, proper documentation will come really soon.
All configurations are stored in motor.yml file which is automatically generated in root directory.
There might be two ways handling configurations:
1. Use git to create commits with new configurations in motor.yml and deploy/pull that git repo on the production host in order to update the configs.
2. rake motor:sync to sync configurations directly to production app host via API.
There a bit of info about configurations sync between environment here:
Motor Admin gem has been developed to replace the outdated ActiveAdmin/RailsAdmin/Blazer gems in your existing or future Rails app.
Unlike other Rails admin gems, Motor Admin doesn't use DSL or any other type of customization/configuration Ruby APIs.
All adjustments in Motor Admin can be made directly in the UI via WYSIWYG interfaces.
This probably makes it the first no-code/low-code Rails open-source admin engine.
Would appreciate any feedback regarding the gem!
