Instructions
Let's suppose you have the default configuration for Ruby hosting:
- Runtime: Ruby 2.6
- Entrypoint: config.ru
- DocumentRoot: www
- Environment:development
Be careful, Rails depends on the environment (RAILS_ENV).
To verify your configuration, you can use the Retrieve active configuration API endpoint.
Connect via SSH to your POWER web hosting.
Delete your DocumentRoot to initiate it with rails (don't forget to export your gempath or your bundle install will fail):
Prepare your Gemfile:
Install your Gems:
Force the right Node.js engine for Camaleon Javascript:
Run Camaleon with your sqlite database (beware, there are four different commands to run):

Deactivate check_yarn_integrity check under section development in www/config/webpacker.yml:
Then restart your instance and your Camaleon will be online.
