How to deploy Rails app on my laptop

Hello People,

I have created a tiny Rails app for my personal use. I want to host it on my personal computer (just like PHP can be hosted easily). I use Ubuntu Linux, can any one tell me how to do it? Is there any documentation? Has any one tried it out?

Thanks in advance.

This is easily done, if you consider "Install Apache; gem install passenger; gem install passenger-apache; follow post install config instructions" to be easy.

I would just run passenger standalone (using Nginx)

Have you got it running in development mode on your laptop? If so you can just run it in the same way but specify production mode when you start the server. That will be fine if it is just for personal use on your laptop.

rails server -e production
