Description

Ruby on Rails is an open-source web framework that's optimized for programmer happiness and sustainable productivity. Written in Ruby, Rails lets you write beautiful code by favoring convention over configuration. The result is a web framework that allows you to transition from idea to implementation in a very short period of time.

TurnKey Rails Appliance is an extremely easy way to get up and running with Ruby on Rails web framework in just a couple of minutes.

It's a free, pre-integrated turnkey server which is packaged as a single universal image capable of supporting installations on both physical and virtual machines, including VMware, Xen, VirtualBox, and KVM.

  • Preconfigured example Rails application

About TurnKey Linux

The largest Linux distributions have over 23,000 packages which are free for both commercial and non-commercial uses, including updates. However, currently it can still take considerable skill and effort to cherry-pick the right components and glue them together into a compelling solution.

To help unlock this potential we started TurnKey Linux, a community-oriented open source project developing a family of free, Ubuntu-based software appliances optimized for ease of use in server-type usage scenarios.

To maximize leverage and provide a consistent user experience, TurnKey Linux appliances are all built on top of TurnKey Core, a 100MB base appliance, from which they inherit the standard features which are common to all TurnKey appliances.
