Deploying Rails to Linode

Installing Ruby 1.9.2 via RVM, MySQL, and Passenger for deploying Rails 3.1 applications.

Get a Linode, and set it up with Ubuntu 10.04 LTS so that you have till April 2013 to get updates. Once the Linode is formatted, boot it and continue on.

Set up an 'A' record in your DNS, pointing to the IP of your Linode. I'm using demo.napcs.com here.

Initial setup

Ubuntu 12.04 Ruby on Rails Development Environment

I haven't set up an install guide for the latest ubuntu release, largely because the last set of instructions worked pretty closely with the latest and greatest Ubuntu, 12.04 Precise Pangolin, however when installing today, I found that there were enough differences in the way that I configure my setup to justify an update, so here it goes. Yes, I'm late to the party, but a quick google search didn't find anything that I felt was as complete for my requirements as my previous install guides, so here I go.

As always with my install guides, I have included here is just about everything you'll need (and then some) to get started with ruby on rails development with Ubuntu 12.04 as a platform. These are my settings and preferences, and this is certainly not the only way of doing things, so keep that in mind.

Step 1: Get the repos ready and run updates.

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade

require 'mechanize'

@username      = 'user@domain.com'
@password      = 'hi2u'
@download_path = File.expand_path 'downloads'
@wget_cookie   = File.expand_path(File.dirname(__FILE__)) + '/wget-cookies.txt'

unless File.directory? @download_path
  puts "@{download_path} doesn't exist!"
  exit

Commands examples

If the namespace is not used then the commands will perform on top of the default database. bundle exec rake db:create bundle exec rake db:migrate

By using the namespace we are going to use all the configuration for our alternate DB. bundle exec rake store:db:create bundle exec rake store:db:migrate
