[railsbox][] is Ruby on Rails virtual machine configurator. You can quickly create virtual machine for development and production environments using this tool. Mac OS X, Linux and Windows host machines are supported.
# Requirements
You will need [VirtualBox][], [vagrant][] and [ansible][] to bootstrap new machine using configuration created by this utility. [ansible][] is not required for Windows, railsbox will use shell scripts to install and run ansible inside guest machine.
# What's included
## Operating systems
You can choose between Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. Base boxes provided by [vagrantcloud][]. You can also deploy to your remote server using SSH connection. [railsbox][] will create 2 scripts:
* `provision.sh` - which will install and configure all required software
* `deploy.sh` - which will deploy latest code from the GIT repo
## Ruby versions
It's possible to install Ruby either with [rvm][], [rbenv][] or using [brightbox apt repository][].
## Application server
Supported servers are:
* [nginx][] and [unicorn][]
* [nginx][] and [puma][] (added by @RDrop)
* [nginx][] and [passenger][]
## Databases

* PostgreSQL
* MySQL
* MongoDB
* redis
## Background jobs

# Future plans
[railsbox][] is constantly improving. The following is in our TODO list for future releases:
* Add ability to deploy to various platforms supported by vagrant - Parallels, VMWare, EC2
* Add additional server options (Passenger, thin)
* Add memcached
