I thought it might be nice to have a thread about deploying on Media Temple’s (gs) hosting plan. I’ve been using (gs) a tiny bit for applications I toying with (I’m new to both Ruby and Rails), and I chose them mainly because of the low prices 🙂 I decided to start out learning Rails by trying to deploy apps very early on in their development because a web-app that’s only running on my localhost isn’t much good to anybody. I suppose I could have a personal address book or something, but you know what I mean. So, I guess I started learning about Capistrano and Rails at the same time. Anywhoot, I put together a Capistrano recipe that seems to work for me on Media Temple. It is very basic, I’m sure, but it seems to work, so I’m pretty happy! I hope somebody on this list might either find it useful, or be able to point out a better way to do this or that.

I’ve heard that you need mongrel\_cluster (?) and that they don’t have it yet (?) but that’s about all I know. When I signed up, I assumed that I’d be able to upgrade my “container” if I ever needed to, and that this would probably be enough for sites that aren’t getting tons and tons of traffic. - Trevor
