Lightning talk: Shipping Ruby and Rails apps as native Linux packages
summary
Tool called packager (GitHub) converts a Ruby/Rails repo using Heroku buildpacks into deb and rpm packages in under five minutes, including Ruby version, gems and asset compilation. Demo builds a .deb, scp's it to a Hetzner server, apt installs, runs migrations against a local SQLite DB, scales a Puma web process to 1, and exposes it with an nginx one‑liner on port 6000. Packager generates init/systemd scripts, supports many distros and can also package CLIs.
