It’s my first time to deploy a Rails App on Digital Ocean with zero experience in DevOps. I have read many time about NGINX/Passaenger…etc. Is it a requirement or can I deploy a Rails app without it. What is the main steps required to config a server to host a rails app and how to start the server? or is it always running?
