Installation Process

This process will guide you from a barebones fresh install of Ubuntu (tested on Hardy Heron och Jaunty Jackalope) to a full-blow Rails-stack hosting solution. This script needs to run as root on the server, but please remember to disable the root-user afterwards!

$ = Run this on your local machine

= Run this as root on the server

1. Install sprinkle; $ sudo gem install sprinkle

2. Download the recipe from http://github.com/buffpojken/Sprinkle-Configuration/tree

3. Move to the directory you just downloaded from github. $ cd PATH_TO_DIR

4. Ping the server to make sure you have the correct ip. $ ping IP_TO_SERVER

5. Edit deploy.rb in the Sprinkle Configuration; replace IP_TO_HOST with the ip of the server

6. Run the provisioning scripts $ sprinkle -s setup.rb

7. When prompted, provide the root-password to the server

8. When done, disable the root-user on the server!

Notes

At the moment, running this on a fresh GleSYS-vps throws few errors but nothing breaks. This is due to /tmp being mounted as noexec from the start, to fix this - log in to the server as root and go to /etc/fstab. Edit parameters to allow exec from /tmp - this will make the errors go away.
