Installation

You should have cloned the repository and installed most of the dependencies (No need for a running postgres server or postgis. e.g. only run bundle)

Provisioning (prepare your server)

• copy your ssh key to your host
  • ssh-copy-id -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub user@host
  • or
  • ssh into your host
  • append your ssh-key to the authorized_keys file
• cd into the infrastructure folder
• knife solo prepare user@host
• obtain app secret and keys from facebook, google and twitter
• modify nodes/host.json. Use the node.json.example as base.
• look at the vhost template if you want to use ssl, or ask someone who knows nginx and chef..
• knife solo cook user@host - this will take long and show some warnings but will run through

Deployment (installing the app to the server)

In project root

• cd to the project root
• modify config/deploy/production.rb - change the ip/hostname of your host
• modify config/deploy.rb - normally you don't have to change things in here
• bundle exec cap production deploy
