Friendly URLs

By default, Rails applications build URLs based on the primary key -- the id column from the database. Imagine we have a Person model and associated controller. We have a person record for Bob Martin that has id number 6. The URL for his show page would be:

/people/6

But, for aesthetic or SEO purposes, we want Bob's name in the URL. The last segment, the 6 here, is called the "slug". Let's look at a few ways to implement better slugs.

#!/bin/sh
set -e
# Example init script, this can be used with nginx, too,
# since nginx and unicorn accept the same signals

# Feel free to change any of the following variables for your app:
TIMEOUT=${TIMEOUT-60}
APP_ROOT=/path/to/your/app/current
PID=$APP_ROOT/tmp/pids/unicorn.pid
ENVIRONMENT=production

Deploy Rails app to digitalocean with nginx, unicorn, capistrano & postgres

Create droplet of your liking (ubuntu 12.10 x32)

ssh to root in terminal with your server ip

ssh root@123.123.123.123

Add ssh fingerprint and enter password provided in email

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
