Running redis using upstart on Ubuntu

I've been trying to understand how to setup systems from the ground up on Ubuntu. I just installed redis onto the box and here's how I did it and some things to look out for.

To install:

	from fabric.api import env, run, sudo, local, put

	def production():
	"""Defines production environment"""
	env.user = "deploy"
	env.hosts = ['example.com',]
	env.base_dir = "/var/www"
	env.app_name = "app"
	env.domain_name = "app.example.com"
	env.domain_path = "%(base_dir)s/%(domain_name)s" % { 'base_dir':env.base_dir, 'domain_name':env.domain_name }

	# NOTICE: to get Nginx+Unicorn best-practices configuration see the gist https://gist.github.com/3052776

	$ cd /usr/src
	$ wget http://nginx.org/download/nginx-1.2.1.tar.gz
	$ tar xzvf ./nginx-1.2.1.tar.gz && rm -f ./nginx-1.2.1.tar.gz

	$ wget ftp://ftp.csx.cam.ac.uk/pub/software/programming/pcre/pcre-8.30.tar.gz
	$ tar xzvf pcre-8.30.tar.gz && rm -f ./pcre-8.30.tar.gz

	$ wget http://www.openssl.org/source/openssl-1.0.1c.tar.gz

	#!/usr/bin/env python
	"""Run all processes in parallel.

	Group output by process groups and order within groups
	"""
	import shlex
	import subprocess
	import sys
	import threading

	[unix_http_server]
	file=/tmp/supervisor.sock ; path to your socket file

	[supervisord]
	logfile=/var/log/supervisord/supervisord.log ; supervisord log file
	logfile_maxbytes=50MB ; maximum size of logfile before rotation
	logfile_backups=10 ; number of backed up logfiles
	loglevel=error ; info, debug, warn, trace
	pidfile=/var/run/supervisord.pid ; pidfile location
	nodaemon=false ; run supervisord as a daemon

	#!/usr/bin/env ruby

	# Script to import tumblr posts into local markdown posts ready to be consumed by Jekyll.
	# Inspired by New Bamboo's post http://blog.new-bamboo.co.uk/2009/2/20/migrating-from-mephisto-to-jekyll
	# Supports post types: regular, quote, link, photo, video and audio
	# Saves local copies of images

	require 'rubygems'
	require 'open-uri'
	require 'nokogiri'

	# As a general rule, I despise all things SEO with it's witchery and voodoo ways.
	# However, these two practices are confirmed semi-non-witchcraft SEO best practice.
	#
	# 1. Serve your content from a consistent domain (www vs. non-www, Doesn't matter. Just be consistent)
	# In addition this is nice for Heroku and other cloud based deployment environments that leave your app
	# accessible from a url like http://myapp.herokuapp.com
	#
	# 2. Believe it or not, trailing slashes matter. The google machine interprets http://domain.com/about
	# as a different page than domain.com/about/
	# (source: http://googlewebmastercentral.blogspot.com/2010/04/to-slash-or-not-to-slash.html )

	# First install tmux
	brew install tmux

	# For mouse support (for switching panes and windows)
	# Only needed if you are using Terminal.app (iTerm has mouse support)
	Install http://www.culater.net/software/SIMBL/SIMBL.php
	Then install https://bitheap.org/mouseterm/
