The first part covers manual setup and the second shows how to automate the manual steps with Chef. A few choice features that will save you alot of time and frustration.
- Using Knife solo with Chef to deploy by IP address, without needing a separate Chef server (or Puppetmaster)
- Fetching your Rails app from Github.- Using the figaro gem to keep your passwords and other information outside your git repo.
- Setting up PostgreSQL on a local machine manually and later automating.
- A guide to using Vagrant to setup a local development machine with a few simple commands.- Automating everything with Chef, as it should be!
Who is this book for?This book is for those who have written a Rails app and have never deployed to a public server before. Or perhaps you have deployed and you want to know how to automate it. I cover Rails 3.2 with Ruby 1.9.3, Ubuntu 12.04 64 bit, PostgreSQL and Nginx with Passenger. I assume some background with Ubuntu and Rails.
