Rails article---only for professional version?

Help! (Home for newbies)

Does this article:
http://www.virtualmin.com/documentation/id,ruby_on_rails_and_virtualmin/
only apply to the Professional version of Virtualmin? If so, is there a way to automate the deployment of Rails applications in the GPL version? Would sure be nice :slight_smile:

Deployment of Ruby on Rails isn’t supported under GPL–it’s integrated into the Install Scripts interface (which is also a Professional-only feature).

You can get the Ruby Gems module for GPL, which is about half of the equation–so deployment of Ruby on Rails is definitely not impossible, or even all that difficult, on GPL. The TextDrive folks were using a post-create script and a few customizations to the Server Templates in the Apache website section to automatically create the mongrel instances and setup the forwarding through the web server. I believe they’ve now switched over to our built-in code, but it’s definitely do-able without it.

"You can get the Ruby Gems module for GPL, which is about half of the equation" <- where from?
