I recently setup a droplet using one-click setup with “Ubuntu Ruby on Rails on 14.04 (Postgres, Nginx, Unicorn)”. Now I want to cloned my rails application from github to run on digitalocean.
How do I go about this? What are the procedures?
I tried for two days now. It still won’t display my application index page when I spin up rails server that I cloned from Github. It keeps showing the default “Digitalcoean Rails” page. And I can’t access my site from the browser at port 3000.
PLEASE HELP! : (

ok i figured it out
- make sure to create /home/index.html and point your route there before you push to git
- install git
apt-get install git - ssh to your digitalocean domain
- navigate to
cd /home/rails - delete folder rails
- clone your rails repo from github
git clone YOUR_REMOTE_ADDRESS - rename the downloaded repo to
rails - setup your db
rake db:drop db:create db:migrate - run rails server like so
rails s --binding=YOUR_IP_ADDRESS
I was running rails s for the past few days wondering why it is just showing the default “digitalocean rails page”
anyways, i hope this could help someone in the future.
