Sure! https://gist.github.com/d0dbbab5af4e3a7c9c43

I did have a bit of trouble with paths in the runit template using Omnibus, but I also had trouble with postgres and Omnibus, so I decided to use system ruby 1.9.3 and skip Omnibus for this project. If you don't need pg/postgres, and you want to use Omnibus, make sure you get the patch to application_ruby to add bundler_command [1]. 

User and group are both required [2], which should be cleaned up a bit. This should be specified in the docs, or there should be logic to deal with both cases. 

Your deploy key and database password should probably go in an encrypted databag [3], but if you're just testing, you can make these strings.

Would you feel comfortable sharing a public facing version of that 40 line recipe?

I recently built an ecommerce site for a clothing company [1] I founded with my twin: rails, the application / application_ruby cookbooks, and a 40 line recipe.. configuration management never ceases to amaze me [2].

The cookbooks are a bit rough around the edges, and could use some more documentation, but work great. It will also be less confusing when the old versions are fully deprecated. Let the list know if you have trouble.

To run rails apps with it, look at its sibling too: https://github.com/opscode-cookbooks/application_ruby

Have a look at its README, create your recipe similar to the examples in the application_ruby README, and you should be 90% of the way, unless you have some special needs.
