How to Run a Rails App in Production Locally

Raw

Add gem 'rails_12factor' to your Gemfile. This will add error logging and the ability for your app to serve static assets.
bundle
Go to into database.yml and change username to the name of your computer (type whoami into command line)
Run RAILS_ENV=production rake db:create db:migrate db:seed
Run rake secret and copy the output
From the command line: export SECRET_KEY_BASE=output-of-rake-secret
To precompile your assets, run rake assets:precompile. This will create a folder public/assets that contains all of your assets.
Run RAILS_ENV=production rails s and you should see your app.

Remember to clobber your assets (rake assets:clobber) and re-precompile (rake assets:precompile) if you make changes.
