Rails Ready for Debian Lenny

Get a full Ruby on Rails stack up very fast on Debian Lenny

UPDATE: it also works for Debian 6.0x Squeeze

This project is inspired by https://github.com/joshfng/railsready/ by Joshua Frye which refers to Ubuntu Server 10.04 LTS. Check it out!

Run this on a fresh Debian Lenny install.

To run

• wget --no-check-certificate https://github.com/vysogot/railsready-debian-lenny/raw/master/railsready-debian-lenny.sh && bash railsready-debian-lenny.sh
• If you want to watch the install log run tail -f ~/rails_install.log in a next shell (ALT+ for non-gui)

What this gives you?

In order of being installed:

• an updated system with necessary packages
• SQLite3 from lenny-backports
• imagemagick
• git-core
• RVM
• Ruby 1.9.2-p136 on RVM
• Configure Ruby for Debian
• Bundler, Passenger, and Rails gems
• Apache + Phusion Passenger slightly configured

What you should do by yourself?

• Create new rails appliaction
• Configure Apache virtual host that points to it
• Browse the app :)

Please note: If you are running on a super slow connection your sudo session may timeout and you'll have to enter your password again.

I use this to setup VMs. For any suggestions: jakub.godawa@gmail.com
