A sweet Rails stack – using Sprinkle.

Warning: Don’t try this at home yet, still work-in-progress (~90%).

Default stack

The default stack that will be installed/configured:

Lang: Ruby/RVM (REE + 1.9.2 + Rubygems + Bundler)
App-server: Passenger
Web-server: Nginx
Mail-server: Postfix
Database: PostgreSQL (optional: MySQL, SQLite3)
Monitoring: Monit
HTTP-proxy: Varnish
Cache: Memcached
Security: Fail2ban, IP-tables/ufw, SSH-settings
SCM: Git
Shell: ZSH (oh-my-zsh)
Tools: ntp, screen, curl, vim, htop, imagemagick
Misc: logrotation of above (logrotate), default deploy user, default dotfiles

It’s trivial to customize this, see Advanced usage.

Requirements

• Debian-compatible systems should work, even though it has yet only been tested with Ubuntu 10.10.

Usage

1. Clone the stack into your project

$ cd my_app
$ git clone git://github.com/grimen/sprinkle-stack.git config/stack

2. Install dependencies

$ gem install sprinkle

3. Configure

Capistrano-way:

Ensure you have specified your server host in config/deploy.rb:

role :app, "example.com"  # ...or IP

Vanilla-way:

Nothing, see below.

4. Setup server!

Capistrano-way:

$ sprinkle -c -s config/stack/setup.rb

Vanilla-way:

$ sprinkle -c -s config/stack/setup.rb HOST

…where HOST is the remote server’s domain or IP.

5. Relax

You will be queried a few options in the process, but other than that you are done.

Optional: DJ Tïesto – Sparkles
