Hello, I was wondering if anyone could recommend a webhost that has gone the extra mile to make deploying Rails apps braindead simple for non-geeks?
It's been a while since I've deployed a Rails app on a shared host. A few ideal criteria: * Not too expensive, though a bit more than a basic PHP host would be OK * Many web-based control panels (i.e. to create databases, etc) - I know most come with these but some are easier to use than others. Any tips? I'm thinking of the average non-techie, who would feel comfortable installing WordPress, for example. I.e. steps to install WordPress 1. Create a database via a web-based control panel 2. Upload the WordPress zip files to the server 3. Visit your website's URL in your browser, Click the Install Link ... profit! =) I'd like to help a few non-techie friends deploy some Rails apps but I'm afraid as soon as I mention mongrel clusters, FCGIs, proxying to port 3001, making sure they have the right gem dependencies, etc, etc their eyes will glaze over =) Reminds me of: http://www.ubergeek.tv/article.php?pid=54 I think adding a "rake db:migrate" step wouldn't be too off putting... has anyone hooked that up so it can be done web-based? (seems possible but I haven't thought through the implications too much. obviously you'd want to lock it down once the first migration was run) Shanti Braford http://onwebapps.com/ -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Deploying Rails" group.
