How to deploy rails project with Cyberduck?

I've created one ruby on rails project but I don't know how to deploy it with Cyberduck. I've learned about deploying in "How to Make Website" course. Should I use Heroku?

Cyberduck just takes files of websites that use HTML, CSS and JavaScript and puts them somewhere. To deploy a Rails app you need a place that can actually run a Rails server, supports Ruby and can provide you with a full SQL or non-SQL database. Cyberduck won't help you here. You need to learn how to use Git and use Heroku for deployment (it's not the only option, but it is the easiest one). This is the official documentation on how to deploy on Heroku:

https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/getting-started-with-rails4

Treehouse also teaches you how to deploy them, but the videos might be outdated.

Hi, Maciej Czuchnowski. Thank you for answering my problem. I just understand Cyberduck is not suitable for rails project.

Hello,

I have not had any experience with Cyberduck. I have had some experience with Heroku. It can be quite costly though. But as long as you stay in your limits and do not deploy a really big application with millions of users then you should be fine. I would read through their terms and conditions, if in doubt email them! The could give you a quote.

Have you tried digital ocean? They can run rails servers and you can deploy to the web. They start from $5 per month and they come with a snapshot build of rails. There are many other snapshots.

Haven't tried that :). I've never deployed anything serious that would actually require a paid server yet.
