Rails

How do I access the Rails console?

1. Add your SSH key to your Hatchbox web server.

2. SSH into your web server: ssh deploy@x.x.x.

3. cd into the app's current directory: cd myapp/current

4. Run bundle exec rails c to open the Rails console.

How do I deploy a Staging application?

You'll need to do a couple things:

• Set your Hatchbox App's RAILS_ENV environment variable to staging

• Copy the production environment config to stagingcp config/environments/{production,staging}.rb

• Update any other config files to include staging. Common ones you will want to make sure are configured:

  • config/cable.yml

  • config/secrets.yml

• Commit and push these changes to git

• Deploy to Hatchbox (consider using a staging branch for all staging code)
