Pitch

Work when you want. Help when you want it.

Problem

People often have small problems that they need fixed, or some quick advice. Setting up a meeting with a developer takes time. Conversely, it would be neat to 'work when you want to' kinda like Uber for programmers.

Typical Ruby on Rails AWS Server Setup

You should be able to start a fresh EC2 instance of Ubuntu and follow the instructions below to get a server with your preferred version of Ruby, nginx ready to delegate requests to Unicorn, and logrotate setup to keep your disk from filling up with log files. You will also have ruby-install for installing new rubies and chruby for switching between them. A .ruby-version file will be added to the home directory of the user that runs this script.

Install

Start an EC2 instance using the latest Ubuntu image (as of 2015-06-18 ami-5189a661 for EBS, 64-bit SSD)
Copy the config files below into /tmp using the file names specified in the title.
Edit /tmp/setup.sh and change the variables at the top to match your setup
Make /tmp/setup.sh executable: chmod +x /tmp/setup.sh

Mac OS X 10.10 Yosemite

Custom recipe to get OS X 10.10 Yosemite running from scratch, setup applications and developer environment. I use this gist to keep track of the important software and steps required to have a functioning system after a semi-annual fresh install. On average, I reinstall each computer from scratch every 6 months, and I do not perform upgrades between distros.

This keeps the system performing at top speeds, clean of trojans, spyware, and ensures that I maintain good organizational practices for my content and backups. I highly recommend this.

You are encouraged to fork this and modify it to your heart's content to match your own needs.
