    Step 1 – Prerequisites

    First of all, enable the HTTPS support for Apt repositories and install the PGP keys for passenger packages on your system.

    $ sudo apt-get install -y dirmngr gnupg
    $ sudo apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --recv-keys 561F9B9CAC40B2F7
    $ sudo apt-get install -y apt-transport-https ca-certificates
    

    Then, add the passenger repository reference to below file. The `lsb_release -cs` will set the codename of your operating system. You can also change this and set the codename manually.

    $ sudo sh -c 'echo deb https://oss-binaries.phusionpassenger.com/apt/passenger `lsb_release -cs` main > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/passenger.list'
    

    Step 2 – Install Passenger Apache module

    Now install the Apache passenger module on your system. You can also specify to install or upgrade Apache2 to the latest version.

    $ sudo apt-get install -y apache2 libapache2-mod-passenger
    

    Now enable the passenger module (if not enabled already) using the following command. After that restart Apache service to reload the new settings.

    $ sudo a2enmod passenger
    $ sudo systemctl restart apache2.service
    

    Step 3 – Create Apache VirtualHost

    Now, you can deploy your Ruby/Rails application on this server. Create a Apache configuration file and configure the virtual host like blow.

    $ vim /etc/apache2/sites-available/example.com.conf
    

    Change the document root as per your application location on disk.

    <VirtualHost *:80>
        ServerName example.com
    
        ### Path to Ruby Application's 'public' directory ### 
        DocumentRoot /path-to-your-app/public
    
        <Directory /path-to-your-app/public>
    	  Allow from all
    	  Options -MultiViews
    	  ### Uncomment this if you're on Apache > 2.4: ### 
    	  # Require all granted
        
        </Directory>
    </VirtualHost>
    

    Now, enable the newly created Apache site configuration file.

    $ sudo a2ensite example.com
    

    Step 4 – Verify Setting and Restart Apache

    Execute the below command to validate the passenger installation on your system.

    $ sudo /usr/bin/passenger-config validate-install
    

    All checks should be passed properly. If any of check failed, it will help you to fix.
