Ruby on Rails continuous integration (CI) with Jenkins the easy way with Chef and Knife

Do you need a CI build setup for your Ruby on Rails app?

Here are some chef / knife solo scripts that will deploy a Jenkins server to run your CI build - you could be up and running in less than 1/2 an hour

Setting up a C.I. build (Continuous Integration) for a Ruby on Rails application

It has never been easier than with Semaphore - Hosted Continuous Integration

• https://semaphoreapp.com/

How easy is it

• add semaphore ssh key to your github repo
• then semaphore automatically determines your ruby version, database, etc...
• you can tweak the build steps later, the defaults are pretty good

It will automatically detect new branches!!! That means zero setup when the new branch is added

It is not cheap, for personal side projects it might not make sense?
But well worth the money if you are doing paid development
