Introduction

This walkthrough is based on tutorial Deploying A Ruby On Rails Application on the RackSpace Cloud.
There are some differences concerning versions of software packages used. Some
changes reflect my personal preferences. The principal changes is that we use
the latest (as at the time of writing) version of Capistrano.

Our software stack will be as follows.

• Ubuntu version 13.04 LTS Raring Ringtail
• Passenger with Nginx
• Ruby version 2.1.2
• Rails version 4.1.0
• MySQL
