Installing Ruby on Rails on Debian 6

Question

Debian

I used to use Heroku, but the features of the free plan were not enough, and the extension was too expensive, so I decided to switch to vps. But since I never had to deal with configuring rails before, this is where the problem arose. Maybe someone can tell me how to set up the server to work rails 4 with apache or nginx and MySQL or PostgreSQL.

Answer 1

Railscasts has a great tutorial on deploying to vps: railscasts.com/episodes/335-deploying-to-a-vps
A couple of notes:
1) It's paid (but $9/month for a big enough base is a small price to pay).
2) Ubuntu is installed there as an OS (but I think you will understand the main idea).

Answer 2

To install ruby: rvm , will install all the dependencies itself, rvm notesgive information for a specific system.
Postgres: apt-get install pg
Web server: depending on religion. I personally prefer nginx + unicorn.
It would also be nice to raise a git server (it's quite simple) to deploy to the server using capistrano.
