How to protect Ruby on Rails code on external server?
- by Phil Byobu
I have to deploy a Ruby on Rails Applications on a client's server and I do not want them to be able to view or modify the source code. How would you protect the code technically?
I thought about building a linux-based virtual machine with an encrypted filesystem where the application code resides. The client has no root access, or direct access to the system at all.
All services start automatically and the application is ready to use.
What would you suggest?
