#Rails hides a lot of Ruby language details, and provides a conventional structure for several things. This is all done for very good reason, but it also means developers may not learn how to use bare Ruby.

Docker is quite heavy and can be a beast to deal with for simple apps. Deploying #Rails apps to a VPS is straightforward with Mimas, here's how:

Modern #Rails apps probably don't need Redis, but it still incredibly useful for many reasons. Sidekiq is still the most fastest job executor out there (in my experience), and that uses Redis. Here's how to set it up on your own server:

Here's how I setup PostgreSQL for Scattergun (and for all my future Rails apps) I've burnt my fingers too many times with PaaS providers going to shit, so I'm going to self-host everything going forward. binarysolo.blog/postgresql-s...

I've finally migrated @scattergun.email to my own server ... Render.com was just quite shit with what you get for the money, all PaaS are I think. As part of this I built Mimas to help deploy Ruby apps with ease.

My talk about @bridgetownrb.com at Haggis Ruby in 2024 appeared on YouTube a few weeks ago, and I've just realised, so sharing it now!

My "Getting Started" guide for Rack just got merged to the official docs! :D Rack underpins every #Ruby web framework and app server, yet I don't think it's always well understood. Give it a read!

I just released v0.4.0 of Mimas, which replaces `ruby-install` and `chruby` with `rv`. codeberg.org/ayushn21/mimas

Codeberg was down for a fair bit of time last Friday, so re-sharing! More updates coming ... I'll be swapping `ruby-install` for `rv`, meaning you can install a new #Ruby in around 1 second! #Rails plugin also in the works ....

Mimas is the result of all the research covered in the below blog series. It's a CLI tool that automates Ruby deployment end-to-end, from securing the server, to installing required software, to log rotation, and everything in between.

I've spent the last few weeks experimenting with various setups for deploying #Ruby apps to a server. Here's my first blog post in a series where I'll describe what I've come up with. Most tutorials gloss over details like security and user management. I'm going for as much detail as possible!

Bridgetown's deployment story for apps with both static content and Roda routes hasn't been great, until now! Deploy your static sites and routes side-by-side on the same server using Mimas and its official Bridgetown plugin!

I joined the Philippines #Ruby User Group meetup a few weeks ago to talk everything #Rack. It underpins every popular Ruby framework and app server, and I feel it's not always well understood. I make a rod for my own back by doing the entire talk exclusively as a demo (and yes, stuff went wrong).

I'm not sure why the press is saying no one's ever done justice to The Odyssey on screen before. Anyone who's ever seen the Simpsons episode "Tales from the Public Domain" knows that it is the gold standard for an adaptation of The Odyssey. Nolan has his work cut out to top that .... 😝

I don't think I've ever been this emotionally disinvested in any of the England Men's cricket teams ... I've almost found myself wanting England to get battered so we can see the end of McCullum and Key ... such a shambles, and a crying shame that Stokes was the first to go.

#Ruby folks, I'm looking for my next client ... I'm available 20h/week and usually work with long-term clients (6 months or more) to make the most impact.
