Setup Ubuntu 16.04 Xenial Xerus Discussion

Don't use "ssh-keygen -t rsa", use "-t dsa", much safer and not owned by NSA.... ;-)

PostgreSQL is now upto 9.5.2 and yet this recommends 9.3.x. Is there something actively wrong with the version in the standard Ubuntu repositories; that prompts you to go back to the PostgreSQL repositories?

Given all the JSONB goodness that arrived with 9.4.x and was enhanced with 9.5.x; this is a surprise! Am slightly puzzled and very keen to lay hands on JSONB.

Also grateful for this site and these pages especially!

Sorry I am very new to rails development, when creating an user in postgresql I get a not connected to database error...

could not change directory to "/home/jie": Permission denied
createuser: could not connect to database postgres: could not connect to server: No such file or directory
Is the server running locally and accepting
connections on Unix domain socket "/var/run/postgresql/.s.PGSQL.5432"?

Instead of this "sudo sh -c "echo 'deb http://apt.postgresql.org/p... precise-pgdg main' >", Do "sudo sh -c "echo 'deb http://apt.postgresql.org/p... xenial-pgdg main' >"

Ubuntu 16.04 has Ruby 2.3 in its package repository, as "ruby-full". Is there any point these days not to use that? Even if you want to use rbenv, you can still mix user gems and system ruby. (Note noobs: even though all guides seem to advise you to use rbenv or rvm, it can be more trouble than it's worth, especially on a single-user system.)

You have the installing NodeJS twice. Once right after rbenv/rvm and once right before installing Rails. Is there a reason for that?

You got great article!

Would you be able to demonstrate the same for Production Environment ? and the best practices for production ?

If I want to automate the entire set of tasks in one script and call that at command line and sit back and watch it all happen, how do I do that? Right now I am cutting and pasting lines.

Thank you very helpful

thanks man... this help-me a lot!

Git connection was refusing until I ran ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_rsa and it worked.

May help somebody.

great!

Just curious, why not default to `rvm` ?

Greate article, I always forget setting up the postgres user.

Chris, as a subscriber, I've gotten a lot of tips from you, now here's one from me:
It should be "without further ado", not "adieu." The former means fuss and bother, the latter means goodbye. The are homonyms.
