Can anyone recommend a tutorial on how to deploy a rails app to digital ocean. This is is my first time deploying to digital ocean but I have experience in deploying to Heroku.
My App uses rails 4.0 , ruby 1.9.3 will there be any problem with that?
thanks

There are a few different options that you can try.
One solution that you can try is the one-click installation of the Dokku application. Dokku is an open source Heroku clone that you can configure to accept git pushes to deploy, just like Heroku. The application is constantly going through changes, so it is a bit of a moving target, but the IRC channel is helpful and you can open issues on their GitHub page if you experience odd behavior.
DigitalOcean also offers a Ruby on Rails one-click installation that you can use to get up and running quickly. You can try searching the DigitalOcean community documentation and questions for more help and suggestions.
(Disclaimer: I work for DigitalOcean. Let me know if you have any more specific questions.)
