Goals of this tutorial:

deploy a new Rails app with capistrano
make it fast (total process takes less than 5 minutes)
make it simple (no unecessary config)
manual ssh to the server not required

Rails application stack:

nginx
unicorn
postgresql

Using Cygwin X as a display for a Linux VM without SSH overhead

This is primarily for my own record and knowledge. If it helps you, great! If it breaks something, don't say I didn't warn you - this is just documentation of what I did to get this to work at the time I wrote this on one particular machine.

Environment

I have a 64-bit cygwin install in c:\cygwin64 (possible in 32-bit too, I just messed up that install and it no longer works, so these were tested on my machine in a 64-bit install). I use my Cygwin setup scripts to simplify this part.
I'm using VirtualBox on Windows 8.1.
- Importantly (at least for VirtualBox), I added a "host-only networking" adapter for communication between the guest (VM) and host machine - this seems to be required.
Totally optional but useful part of my setup: I'm using VBoxHeadlessTray to be able to easily have my virtual machine running without taking

	#!/bin/bash
	#
	# This script will create a 'backend.md' and 'frontend.md' containing
	# all the source code in the current directory. You can then upload these
	# files to a custom GPT. It's setup for my golang project but you can easily
	# modify it to suit your needs.
	#
	# This script requires 'fd' to be installed.

	File.open("my_db", "w") do \|f\|
	ActiveRecord::Base.connection.tables.sort.each do \|table_name\|
	f.write "#{table_name}\n"
	ActiveRecord::Base.connection.columns(table_name).map(&:name).sort.each do \|c\|
	f.write "- #{c}\n"
	end
	end
	end
