Ruby on Rails Application Stack on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS by ProvenCloud

Ruby on Rails on Azure, ready in minutes. Deploy the virtual machine, open its public IP address in a browser and you are ready to go. There is no installer to run and nothing to configure.

Ruby on Rails is an open source web framework for building database-backed web applications quickly. Its conventions, generators and huge library of gems help small teams ship features fast. This image gives developers and startups a ready Rails server in minutes, with Ruby, Rails and MySQL installed and a sample app already running.

Why teams choose this image

• Start building straight away: a sample app connected to MySQL shows the whole stack working, so you can replace it with your own code and deploy.
• No shared default password: every VM sets its own passwords from its own VM ID on first boot, so no two customers share a login.
• Up to date: every component is on its latest stable release and the image carries all Ubuntu 24.04 LTS security updates, with nothing pending.
• Supports Trusted Launch with Secure Boot and vTPM. No build-time SSH keys or shell history are left in the image.

What is included

• Ruby 4.0.9
• Rails 8.1 with Puma
• Node.js 26 LTS for asset tooling
• MySQL 8.0
• A sample Rails app on port 3000
• phpMyAdmin and Webmin 2.670
• Ubuntu 24.04 LTS, fully patched

Getting started

The sample app answers on http://<vm-public-ip>:3000/. phpMyAdmin is at /phpmyadmin (user root) and Webmin on port 8000 (user admin); the password is your VM ID (Azure portal > the virtual machine > Properties > VM ID).

Ports opened for you: SSH 22 and 3000, 80, 8000. For production, limit admin ports to your own IP address and add your domain with an SSL certificate. Step-by-step guide: provencloud.io/catalog/azure-ruby-on-rails-ubuntu-24-04
