In an earlier post, we covered getting your application onto the internet without heroku by using Ansible. However sometimes just using some software that has been put together for you can be a little bit daunting, especially if you are not sure how it exactly works.

To help with that, I have put together a screencast to help you get from development with your Rails app, to deployed to the internet with Ansible and Capistrano. In the screencast below I talk you through what you need to get your application deployed and taking requests. With just a server, a domain name and Ansible, you can go from development to production in about a half an hour. So head down to the screencast and check out how you can get a Ruby on Rails application up and running and out into the world.
