Documentation clarifications

[Florian Anderiasch]

I just installed #pants on Ubuntu 14.04 according to the docs, here are my findings:

• missing: gem install bundler && source ~/.bash_profile before bundle
• missing echo "ENV['SECRET_TOKEN']" > config/initializers/secret_token.rb before rails console would work

When I visit hostname.example.org:3000 everything works as it should, but of course assets are broken. (My user was created with domain: 'hostname.example.org')

When I add default nginx settings with proxy_pass http://localhost:3000;, I get a redirect loop (this is pretty uncommon).

result: 20x

Oh, and something regarding the needed specs for the host:
Fresh VM with Ubuntu 14.04, only packages installed and running are the ones from the howto (plus nginx):

root@pants01:~# free -m
             total       used       free     shared    buffers     cached
Mem:           484        418         66         14         19        182
-/+ buffers/cache:        216        268
Swap:            0          0          0

So I think 512 MB RAM as a minimum is mandatory.

What documentation? :)

Noted, though. As discussed on IRC.
