The RailsHoster Deployment gem helps you to easily get your Rails app runing at RailsHoster.com. Check it out.

This is what you need on your client to run the RailsHoster gem to deploy your app:

• Non-Windows OS (you might be able to use cygwin but this is untested so far)
• Ruby
• Ruby Gems
• Shell (e.g. Bash)
• SSH Shell
• Git
• Currently the railshoster gem assumes bundler to be used. Let us know if this is a problem for you.

gem install railshoster

Simply go to your project’s git folder and invoke the following command to initialize your app and make it deployment ready.

railshoster init -a 'your application token' .

Regarding to your application token please refer to your account information you have received after signing up at !RailsHoster.com.

You can then either use capistrano to deploy or invoke

railshoster deploy

It’s as easy as this. Refer to the RailsHoster.com Support if any problems raise. We are happy to help you.

In order to receive full stack traces when exceptions occure just pass a environment variable like this

RAILSHOSTER_DEV=1 railshoster
