How do I map what would be the local port to an ip in rails?

Posted on August 26, 2014

Uhhh so I am a super beginner, but I have a rails on ubuntu droplet which I am working on through the browser console, and I am following the “railstutorial” and I would like to know if there is a way I can access from the web what would be the local default page (http://0.0.0.0:3000) by running the server so it used a particular port (rails server -p) or something like that? Thank you!

I was able to figure it out! I installed unicorn by

gem install unicorn

and then I ran my rails s webserver and went to https://[mydroplet’sip]:3000
