Running a Rails server on a website

[weathertopper]

I'm running an Apache server, I know there's a way to run it through that via some other tool. There might be a better way not involving the Apache server, I don't really care how this gets done. I just want to figure out how to get it done before I go much further.

^^That's old, this isn't https://www.phusionpassenger.com/library/walkthroughs/deploy/ruby/

[weathertopper]

btw use this to log back in as me (userwise) sudo -u railsappuser -H bash -l

[weathertopper]

^^or just restart the terminal that's better

[weathertopper]

bundle exec rake assets:precompile db:reset db:setup db:seed RAILS_ENV=development DISABLE_DATABASE_ENVIRONMENT_CHECK=1

^^wipes out prod db too, beware

then restart server

sudo apache2ctl restart

FOR UPDATES, DO THIS: https://www.phusionpassenger.com/library/walkthroughs/deploy/ruby/ownserver/nginx/oss/deploy_updates.html

There are still lots of questions

• how to seed prod database
• or better, how to host dev database on apache server
• how to query prod database

But hey! Today was pretty productive!

Take secret file out of 'changed' in prod https://github.com/blog/2019-how-to-undo-almost-anything-with-git

[weathertopper]

run this for update

bundle install --deployment --without development test
bundle exec rake assets:precompile db:migrate RAILS_ENV=production
passenger-config restart-app $(pwd) //restarts server

Added this to a script in my prod directory so it's much easier now
