Install¶ ↑

gem install speedy

You may need to uninstall the older version if it’s installed.

gem uninstall speedy

Usage¶ ↑

Deployment¶ ↑

To deploy a Rails application first you need to open the terminal and navigate to particular application root folder and type

sudo speedy deploy

As default this command will deploy the application with the root folder name.

E.g. If your application folder name is ‘example’, this will create the virtual host as ‘example.local’.

If you wish, you can explicitly specify a name for the virtual host when you run the deploy command.

sudo speedy deploy custom_name.local

---

sudo speedy deploy <root dir name>.local

sudo speedy deploy

Are equivalent.

Clean Apache – Passenger (ModRails) configurations¶ ↑

You can use speedy to do clean Apache – ModRails configuration.

Step 01: Install Passenger gem

sudo gem install  passenger

Step 02 : Install the Apache module

passenger-install-apache2-module

Step 03: Copy the “Load module” configuration in to the Clipboard.

Step 04: Now without doing any further configurations install Speedy

sudo gem install speedy

Step 05: Tell the speedy to do the clean Passenger configurations

sudo speedy config-passenger

Step 06: Speedy will open a blank file in vi editor. Paste the “Load module” configurations save and exit (Unix command => “ :wq”).

That’s it. In this process Speedy keeps spate the passenger configs without mixing them main server configuration file like apache2.conf (in Linux) files.

Update Passenger¶ ↑

Once you install the latest version of Passenger, just run the same command.

sudo speedy config-passenger

Speedy will open the same configuration file. Just change the version of the Passenger, save and exit.
