Intro

This is a basic collection of things I do when setting up a new headless ubuntu machine as a webserver. Following the steps below should give you a reasonable secure server with HTTP/2 support (including ALPN in chrome) and the fast NGINX server. I am happy to add things so leave a comment.

Basics

After creating the server (droplet on DigitalOcean) log in with

Forked from: https://gist.github.com/1502777

The goal was a more generic solution to the one in gist this is forked from. It does not require the addition of any more db columns, as I choose not to store the remote URL.

Currently missing, is validation of the remote URL and error handling. Probably makes sense to just work with ActiveRecord::Errors

Currently, the file upload takes precedence over the the remote url, if a user supplies both. I'm thinking that should probably be an option flag on can_attach_remote_url.
