I cannot for the life of me seem to figure out or even find a decent  
guide on what needs done to deploy a rails app to my server. I do mean  
an actual web server, but for now I’d be happy just getting it to run  
on my home web server.  
My home web server is running ubuntu gutsy (mythbuntu, specifically).  
I’ve installed ruby, gems, rails, the works on it. I can create a new  
rails app on it through ssh over the lan, but how/where can i read how  
to set it to run when i type the lan ip into my laptop (while i’m on  
the network, of course).  
Being my home server, I have full and complete control of it all.  
Any tips?
