Digital Ocean Ruby on Rails 7.0 , 1-Click Install

[y cho]

Hi there,

I have started a onclick install for ruby on rails.

But digital Ocean now only offers rails 7.0. and fat free requires for now 6.1

I am wonderning if anyone has experience with Digital Ocean ?

Will it make any troubles running fat free on this instance ? 

Thks for your help

Hey

I don't imagine the 1-click Rails install will work easily with FatFreeCRM   out of the box. The baked in versions of Rails and Ruby are quite different to what FatFreeCRM is currently using. I haven't used DigitalOcean for a while, but that's my initial impression.

You're not really restricted to what you install on a DigitalOcean droplet, so there's no reason why you can't install Ruby, Rails 6, etc, but you'll have to either do it all by hand or set up an Ansible / Puppet / etc script to pull up your server into a known configuration.

If you are just starting out in hosting you might be better off looking at a PaaS like Heroku, Fly.io or similar. They remove a lot of the headaches around hosting and I'd recommend using something like that - unless you are really keen to learn how to configure a server from scratch.

Having said that, it would be nice to get FatFreeCRM running under Rails 7. I'm interested in having a crack at that, though I think someone might have already started.

Hope that's useful. 

Cheers,

Tom
