I have included Capistrano in the latest, 2.0 release of Instant Rails which should help with deployment. I think it is a development environment you should be able to deploy your Rails app to a Rails hosting provider or your own server. I don’t think it was ever intended for production, but that’s just my opinion.
#DEACTIVATE BITNAMI RUBYSTACK WINDOWS#
I can tell you from my experience as a Windows person who has used Instant Rails extensively over the past year or more, that I would never try to use it for production. I am not the original developer of Instant Rails but took it over from Curt Hibbs, so I don’t know the original intent of the project. Release updates will continue to be in the RubyForge project thank you for your experiences with Instant Rails. Please come here for informational updates on Instant Rails.
I will be posting updates here as things progress and I get other ideas or come to a fork in the road and need feedback. As always users can just add gems themselves and customize as much as they want. What would users like to see? I can’t really add any and all gems to releases, it has to be by consensus. I have been asked about adding some things to the current build such as Capistrano 2.1 among some others. Of course I will fix any bugs I can along the way. I plan to make some updates to some of the packages to get them up-to-date beyond the ones above: Curt has done a great job and there is no need to change for the sake of change. I am not going to make any large changes with the project, I want to keep the functionality the way it is. I have used Instant Rails and love how it works.
#DEACTIVATE BITNAMI RUBYSTACK UPDATE#
I would like to at least provide and update to the following: In the next few weeks I want to be able to get a release out to RubyForge.
This is my first foray into an open source project so please be patient. Curt was happy to have someone keep the project going. I thought about it a bit and offered to take the project over continue with this legacy.
Curt explained he was simply too busy with work and real life to maintain the project any longer and it was as simple as that. I decided to contact Curt and see what the story was with closing down the project and if I could do anything to help maintain it.
I have been spoiled by the way Instant Rails runs isolated along with its nice user interface to control services and my Rails applications. I have no ill feeling about Bitnami, I hope they do very well. He announced the project would not longer be updatee and users should look to another Ruby stack on Windows, named BitNami RubyStack.Īfter trying BitNami I came away feeling like I had stepped back to something not as polished as Instant Rails. I can just take it with me and run it anywhere.Ī short time ago Curt Hibbs, the founder of the Instant Rails project on Rubyforge, decided he didn’t have the time to continue the project to the level it deserved. What I like most about Instant Rails is its level of isolation, where nothing is installed on my local computer as a service or anything permanent. I have been a long-time user of Instant Rails to write Ruby on Rails applications on Windows.
