Start rails server automatically when ever I start my ubuntu machine

Question

I have a rails application and I want to start the server automatically whenever the machine boots up. Right now I cd to the directory and then type the rails s

Answer 1

@reboot /bin/bash -l -c 'cd PATH_TO_PROJECT && rails s'

did the trick for me. You might need to reload RVM and for that

@reboot /bin/bash -l -c 'cd PATH_TO_PROJECT && source ~/.rvm/scripts/rvm && rvm use ruby-RUBY_VERSION_HERE && rails s'

will serve the purpose.
