For those of you looking to migrate to other, barer hosting solutions like AWS or another VPS provider, I've put together a Capistrano add-on that let's you use Heroku-style buildpacks to deploy with Nginx doing front-end proxy. I use it for half a dozen apps on my VPSs and it works swimmingly well.

Doesn't that require root or at least sudo permissions for your deploy user?

sudo for the user doing the deploy but not for the user running the app. The default is to run as the deploy user but you can change it.
