Migrate site to SoftLayer environment

[spllr]

Setup and deploy website to new SoftLayer environment.

[spllr]

http://appsterdam.info will now end up at new server.

On https will show certificate warning but this will no longer happen when final domain migration has been done.

[spllr]

Create user 'deployer' on system.

Added deployer to rvm and nginx group.

[spllr]

Install ruby-devel with yum

[spllr]

Basic deployment is done. See http://appsterdam.info for todays result.

Site is now running and is deployable via capistrano.

Need to optimize some things on the server.

Basic idea: nginx is running as a reverse proxy for 20 thin instances.

Deployment

• Use rvm on server for deployment
• Create gemset appsterdam-production
• Make sure gems are installed with deploy
• Add redis-server to init.d
• Install gems without test group
• Installed postgresql-devel
• Installed sqlite-devel
• Set new password for appsterdam postgres user (ask @spllr for new passw)
• Set correct permission for postgres usage from local connections
• Give user access to db: GRANT ALL ON DATABASE appsterdam_production TO "appsterdam-production"
• Generate upstart file with: rvmsudo foreman export upstart /etc/init -a appsterdamrs-website -c web=20,resque=1,clock=1 -f Procfile.production -u deployer -d /var/www/appsterdamrs-production/current
• Add tasks for database seeding and updating.
