I think it can be simple if you keep it simple :). In my book Deployment from Scratch I show people how to run Rails on a cheap VPS with a couple hundreds lines of Bash.
Just Ruby + chruby + Puma + systemd (and optional systemd socket activation).
I include a scripted demo (so you don't have to do it yourself) which demonstrates all of the this:
- Setting up a git-pust deployment for Ruby applications
- Using chruby to automate installing requested Ruby versions
- Configuring NGINX as a proxy using UNIX sockets
- Setting up systemd socket activation for graceful restarts
- Configuring NGINX to serve static assets
- Configuring NGINX to proxy WebSockets connections for Action Cable
- Automatic SSL/TLS certificates with Let's Encrypt
- Redirecting HTTP traffic and subdomains to main domain over HTTPS
- Running PostgreSQL and Redis on the same server
- Building a custom SELinux module
- Configuring firewall
- Setting up automatic weekly system update
- Setting up log rotation for NGINX and PostgreSQL logs and max limit for system log
- Doing application backups and restores
- Creating admin tasks
Although it sounds like a lot, the demo is reasonably small and clean so you can go through all the files in 2 hours.
I think people many times complicate what they don't need to complicate...

One or the other. It can't be both.
