Set up DO Rails + nginx + Puma + Capistrano (No ActiveRecord)

Steps to get droplet up and running with just Ubuntu 16.04

  1. Create non-root user
adduser production
usermod -aG sudo production
ssh-keygen
cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub

su - production
mkdir ~/.ssh
chmod 700 ~/.ssh
vi ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
# copy in dev machine key while you're here
ssh-add -K ~/.ssh/id_rsa
chmod 600 ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
exit
ssh production@ip_address
  1. Install Node
cd ~
curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_8.x -o nodesource_setup.sh
sudo bash nodesource_setup.sh
sudo apt-get install nodejs
nodejs -v
# Needs to be 8+
  1. Install nginx
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install curl git-core nginx -y
# sudo apt-get install libpq-dev
gpg --keyserver hkp://keys.gnupg.net --recv-keys 409B6B1796C275462A1703113804BB82D39DC0E3
curl -sSL https://get.rvm.io | bash -s stable
source ~/.rvm/scripts/rvm
rvm requirements
rvm install 2.5.0
rvm use 2.5.0 --default
  1. Install Rails and Bundler
gem install rails -V --no-ri --no-rdoc
gem install bundler -V --no-ri --no-rdoc
  1. Set up Github key
ssh -T [email protected]
ssh-keygen -t rsa
# put into deploy key field on GH
git clone [email protected]:username/appname.git
# remove directory if successful
  1. Capistrano

  1. Set up A records Create 2 A records for naked domain and www pointed at the DO server IP

  2. Let's Encrypt + Certbot

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:certbot/certbot
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install python-certbot-nginx
sudo vi /etc/nginx/sites-available/default

# Add server name
server_name example.com www.example.com;

sudo nginx -t
sudo systemctl reload nginx
sudo ufw status

# should look something like this:
Status: active

To                         Action      From
--                         ------      ----
OpenSSH                    ALLOW       Anywhere
Nginx Full                 ALLOW       Anywhere
OpenSSH (v6)               ALLOW       Anywhere (v6)
Nginx Full (v6)            ALLOW       Anywhere (v6)

# if not run:
sudo ufw allow 'Nginx Full'
sudo ufw delete allow 'Nginx HTTP'

sudo certbot --nginx -d example.com -d www.example.com

# if successful you will get a dialog asking what to do about redirects. Otherwise it's probably because it can't find the server block

sudo certbot renew --dry-run
  1. First deploy

./gitignore

# No you shoudn't do this, but it was the only way I could get it to work
# delete last lines to check in master key
git add -A
git commit -m "Set up Puma, Nginx & Capistrano"
git push origin master

cap production deploy:initial

# Assuming that goes smoothly

sudo rm /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/default
sudo ln -nfs "/home/###USER NAME###/apps/###appname###/current/config/nginx.conf" "/etc/nginx/sites-enabled/###appname###"

sudo service nginx restart
  1. Subsequent deploys
git push origin master
cap production deploy
  1. Make Rails minify css

config/environments/production.rb

# uncomment
config.assets.css_compressor = :sass

Get rid of all the sprockets langauge in app/assets/stylesheets/application.css and use @import 'stylsheet-name'; syntax.

Then rename to app/asserts/stylesheets/application.css.scss
