We really like the idea of hosting with Amazon EC2 and the excellent EC2 on Rails, but our cashflow isn't enough to justify a move to EC2. So we've decided to host with linode. Now we're trying to put together the best Rails server build.
For those that don't know, EC2 on Rails is an opinionated Ubuntu Linux Server image for Amazon's EC2 hosting service. Out of the box, it runs a standard Ruby on Rails application with little to no customization.
So, is there something like EC2 on Rails for linode?
We'd need at least the following:
- Ruby 1.8.7
- Ruby on Rails 2.3.8
- MySQL 5
- memcached
- Automatically runs hourly, daily, weekly and monthly scripts if they exist in Rails application’s script directory
- Local Postfix SMTP mail server
- SSL support
- Passenger + Ngnix or Mongrel + Apache
- 32 bit image Ubuntu
With a railsy setup, meaning fast and simple. So, anyone run across anything like EC2 on Rails, but for linode?
