App-server: Passenger
Web-server: Nginx

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.
