Nginx + Unicorn for Rails on Rackhub

Description:

This script enables you to launch your Rails application in production environment (port:80) with Nginx and Unicorn.

Installation:

Please make sure that your Gemfile in your rails application includes unicorn.

gem 'unicorn'

Next, check whether you already set $RAILS_ROOT as follows.

echo $RAILS_ROOT

If you do not set it yet, please do so like below.

export RAILS_ROOT=$HOME/sample_app

Please make sure to replace sample_app to your actual Rails project path.

Then, just execute the following command.

curl -s -L https://gist.github.com/raw/2129714/install.sh | bash

Now you may successfully check your Rails application in your browser.
