Rails Passenger Deployment Checklist
Raw
rails-checklist.md
  • Here's an example Apache config (don't use friendly error pages in production):
Alias /aptrust-tracking /var/www/html/aptrust-tracking/public
    <Location /aptrust-tracking>
        PassengerBaseURI /aptrust-tracking
        PassengerAppRoot /var/www/html/aptrust-tracking
        PassengerFriendlyErrorPages on
    </Location>
    <Directory /var/www/html/aptrust-tracking/>
        Allow from all
        Options -MultiViews
    </Directory>

  • Set a secret key environment variable for the secrets.yml file at the command line or in the file itself (Don't put it in the Git repo!)

    export SECRET_KEY_BASE=reallysecurekey

  • Turn on compile assets in config/environments/production.rb

    config.assets.compile = true

  • You can restart the Rails application by creating or modifying the file tmp/restart.txt in the Rack application’s root folder. Passenger will automatically restart the application.
