Campfire Deploy with Kamal

#440 Jan 28, 2024 pro

In this episode, we look at setting up our Campfire instance to be deployable with Kamal instead of the Once CLI. This has a few benefits over the standard deployment mechanism if you are going to be tweaking and making your own changes to the Campfire code. We'll also look at taking in the incoming changes from Once to rebase into our Kamal setup.

Amazon's newest hosting service, App Runner, makes it fairly easy to deploy web services. In this episode, we take a look at some of the issues with App Runner as well as how we can deploy a Docker container image to the service. We also dive into building Docker images from an Apple M1 computer and pushing to Elastic Container Registry.

Deploying to Amazon Linux 2

#285 Feb 28, 2021 pro

I recently upgraded Drifting Ruby's site from Ruby 2.6 to Ruby 2.7 as part of some general maintenance. The Beanstalk instance was using an older version of Amazon Linux. During the upgrade process, I discovered that it wasn't a simple transition. In this episode, we look at the discovery path and how to successfully deploy your Ruby on Rails application to AWS Elastic Beanstalk with Amazon Linux 2 and Ruby 2.7.
