Ubuntu 12.04, Ruby, Rails, Nginx, Unicorn and git-deploy

In the seemlingly endless search for the actual correct and easy way to deploy a Rails app, we have tried several ways. We tried out using Apache2 and running a cluster of Thin servers. With the built in threading of Puma we decided to use it with Nginx.

Server Setup

• Create new server
• Login to new server
  • ssh root@IPaddress (you can also use the domain name if you have the DNS setup already)
  • accept the RSA key

In Rails 3

NOTE: This post now lives (and kept up to date) on my blog: http://hakunin.com/rails3-load-paths

tables = [] # or ActiveRecord::Base.connection.tables
collation = "utf8_unicode_ci"
char_set = "utf8"
db = "your_database_name"
# write out
puts "USE #{db};"
puts "ALTER DATABASE #{db} CHARACTER SET #{char_set} COLLATE #{collation};"
tables.each do |t|
  puts "ALTER TABLE #{t} CHARACTER SET #{char_set} COLLATE #{collation};" # changes for new records
  puts "ALTER TABLE #{t} CONVERT TO CHARACTER SET #{char_set} COLLATE #{collation};" # migrates old records
