Proper rails deployment steps to DirectAdmin hosted server?

0 votes
432 views

With PHP applications, all I needed to do is to FTP all required files, create MySQL username/pass & upload SQL structure, add this username/pass in any given config file of the php script and the app worked. Can someone tell me what are standard/proper steps required to deploy an app that I worked on my local Ubuntu machine and want to have it working on 'standard' web hosting company that does not specialize in Rails app hosting?

I don't have anything written (which I should) but just googling around, here's a few:

There's also a pragprog book: http://pragprog.com/book/cbdepra/deploying-rails which I haven't read.

If you hosting solution does not offer shell access, it's going to be very difficult, I think to do an effective deploy. Even moreso if your application requires gems that need to have native extensions compiled.

There are some great Rails-hosting PaaS out there: heroku, EngineYard, CloudFront, etc.

My most recent job, we used AWS to host our app, and deployed using Chef (opscode.com) which was really nice to work with.

I've found Nitrous really nice for testing apps somewhere in the cloud: https://www.nitrous.io/join/WWm_3k15gFU
They encourage you to deploy apps (as others suggest) to heroku.

Ruby on Rails manual deployment

I was trying to understand everything need to be known to deploy ROR manually. Does someone have some valuable article on that. I am using ROR 4 with ruby 2.1.x and webfaction as an host.

I would like to understand that before automating. It seams there is only one way to deploy right now, capistrano 2 or 3 if you can understand, and there is so little complete and up to date information on it. It is a nightmare for me right now.
