Ask HN: Heroku style, Linux Distro
Is there any kind of linux distro which includes everything to deploy your rails application?.
All-in-one,
deploy-ready,
standardized,
easy-to-scale,
well designed file structure
- spooneybarger 16y agoyou really dont need a distro for that, you can just whip up a chef, puppet or pallet recipe and away you go...
- madhouse 16y agoI was under the impression that Ruby people prefer their gems over distros packaging those same things. Judging by the stance a lot of rubists took against Debian and Ubuntu, it would be a safe bet to say that a distro you describe cannot really exist.
- nolite 16y agocan't recommend one in particular, but check some Amazon EC2 images.. someone has probably whipped one up
- obilgic 16y agohttp://ec2onrails.rubyforge.org/ http://ec2onrails.rubyforge.org/ EC2 on Rails is an Ubuntu Linux server image for Amazon’s EC2 hosting service that’s ready to run a standard Ruby on Rails application with little or no customization. It’s a Ruby on Rails virtual appliance.
- samratjp 16y agoWhen I was doing my homework for deploying to EC2, I came across that and would highly recommend against it! For one thing, it's main committer is out of the picture and have yet to find a good branch with Rails 3 support. I'd recommend looking into Rubber (https://github.com/wr0ngway/rubber/wiki https://github.com/wr0ngway/rubber/wiki) and Maestro (https://github.com/bploetz/maestro https://github.com/bploetz/maestro)
- ygd 16y agoAdding to this, is there any easy way to set up a git deployment architecture on your own server?
- nolite 16y agocheck this out.. heroku-like deployment. The concept is simple enough to hack to your own needs http://remi.org/2010/01/03/phd_passenger-based_heroku-like_deployment http://remi.org/2010/01/03/phd_passenger-based_heroku-like_d... https://github.com/remi/phd https://github.com/remi/phd https://github.com/remi/pushand https://github.com/remi/pushand
