1. Change your database RDS instance security group to allow your machine to access it.
   • Add your ip to the security group to acces the instance via Postgres.
2. Make a copy of the database using pg_dump
   • $ pg_dump -h <public dns> -U <my username> -f <name of dump file .sql> <name of my database>
   • you will be asked for postgressql password.
   • a dump file(.sql) will be created
3. Restore that dump file to your local database.
   • but you might need to drop the database and create it first
   • $ psql -U <postgresql username> -d <database name> -f <dump file that you want to restore>

• the database is restored

Punchlist for Serving your Rails App on an EC2 Instance

Run through this list to setup your EC2 instance and host your rails app. This list makes a few assumptions (make changes as necessary)

• You have github repo with a rails app pushed to it that we'll just pull down to the new server
• You're using Rails 5.1

If not, see very bottom for steps to build a quick example app.

Launching EC2 instance

• Use the basic Linux AMI distro: Amazon Linux AMI 2017.09.0 (HVM), SSD Volume Type - ami-8c1be5f6
• Select a size: t2.micro is fine for this, unless you need larger for a production app

Originally published in June 2008

When hiring Ruby on Rails programmers, knowing the right questions to ask during an interview was a real challenge for me at first. In 30 minutes or less, it's difficult to get a solid read on a candidate's skill set without looking at code they've previously written. And in the corporate/enterprise world, I often don't have access to their previous work.

To ensure we hired competent ruby developers at my last job, I created a list of 15 ruby questions -- a ruby measuring stick if you will -- to select the cream of the crop that walked through our doors.

What to expect

Candidates will typically give you a range of responses based on their experience and personality. So it's up to you to decide the correctness of their answer.

Basic Rails App on Digital Ocean / Ngnix / Unicorn

Most of this I got from the DigitalOcean file.

1. Sign up for an account at digitalocean.com. Create a droplet using the pre-configed Ubuntu 12.10/Rails/Ngix/Unicorn option and using an ssh key if you set one up first. [An overview can be found here.] (https://www.digitalocean.com/community/articles/how-to-set-up-ssh-keys--2) If you don’t set up an SSH key, that's okay, DigitialOcean (DO) will send you one to your email.
2. Once setup with an IP, point your domain or subdomain to the IP from wherever you are hosting as an A record. Log in using ssh root@ip.address.of.server. Enter your password if needed.
3. Type passwd into the console to change the password of root to something you can remember.
4. If you want add a new user so you don’t have to use root then type adduser [username] in the console. Feel free to fill out the Fu
