This will set up a new ubuntu image with nginx, postgres and ruby in preparation for your rails app to be served by unicorn.
##Instructions
Copy the example config file to 'config.rb' and update it with your settings.
Then run the following:
bundle install
bundle exec sprinkle -v -c -s setup.rb
##Deployment
Assuming you're using capistrano for deployment and doing it the Github way, you should be able to cap deploy:setup as soon as this recipe has been run. Note that you'll need to do an nginx restart for it to pick up your unicorns.
Here's an easy way to restart nginx from capistrano:
namespace :nginx do
desc "Restart nginx"
task :restart, :roles => :app , :except => { :no_release => true } do
sudo "/etc/init.d/nginx restart"
end
end
Here's an easy snippet for your database.yml that will configure postgres:
production:
adapter: postgresql
encoding: unicode
database: filter_production
username: deploy
pool: 5
That should be it! Contact me @mm53bar if you run into issues.
