Deploying With Capistrano (Screencast)
OneBody is complicated software. There are lots of dependencies, many of which must be compiled on the server where OneBody will be running.
Because of this, OneBody will probably never be a simple FTP drop-in type thing, a la Wordpress.
One thing we have done, though, is to streamline the process a bit if you are installing to Ubuntu Linux (and more recently, some experimental support for CentOS was added). We use Capistrano for this task.
While 100 times easier than typing all the necessary commands by hand, Capistrano can be confusing for anyone not familiar with how it works. Installing stuff and running commands on my local machine just to install software on my server can be weird indeed.
To help clarify how the whole process works, I've recorded a quick screencast. Hopefully this will clear up some of the confusion and show the power of Capistrano, too.
(You will probably want to blow this one up fullscreen to see the commands.)
