Ruby on Rails - Web Application Framework

Ruby on Rails is an open-source web framework that's optimized for programmer happiness and sustainable productivity. Written in Ruby, Rails lets you write beautiful code by favoring convention over configuration. The result is a web framework that allows you to transition from idea to implementation in a very short period of time.

This appliance includes all the standard features in TurnKey Core, and on top of that:

• SSL support out of the box.
• Webmin modules for configuring Apache2, and MySQL.

• Ruby on Rails configuration:

  • Deployment via Phusion Passenger for Apache (mod_rails)
  • Preconfigured example Rails application located at /var/www/railsapp
  • MySQL databases setup for production, development and testing.

• RubyGems package manager installed from upstream tarball

  • APT and RubyGems are both package management systems and may potentially conflict.
  • We recommend using RubyGems for managing Rails components (called gems), and APT for everything else.
  • Essential build packages (build-essentials) are included to aid in building gems.

Upgrading RubyGems itself and Rails components (gems):

gem update --system
gem update

See the Ruby on Rails docs for further details.

Credentials (passwords set at first boot)

• Webmin, SSH, and MySQL: username root
