Daemonize Rails
Daemonize Rails will configure your server to add a new daemon process for your rails app in production.
Installation
Intended for use with Debian/Ubuntu, Unicorn and Nginx
Add Daemonize Rails and Unicorn to your Rails app's Gemfile:
gem 'daemonize_rails'
gem 'unicorn'
Then run bundle:
$ bundle
Install Nginx
$ sudo apt-get install nginx
Usage
Place your Rails project in "/var/www/projectname"
Run the generator:
rails generate daemonize_rails:install
This will create your unicorn.rb and init.d file
Finally, start your app
$ /etc/init.d/myapp start
[myapp][22645]: Trying to start server...
[myapp][22668]: server started
You can also
$ /etc/init.d/myapp stop
$ /etc/init.d/myapp restart
###Configure Nginx
Add the following to /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/nginx.conf
upstream <myapp> {
server unix:/tmp/unicorn.<myapp>.sock fail_timeout=0;
}
server {
server_name <mydomain>.com;
rewrite ^(.*) http://www.<mydomain>.com$1 permanent;
}
server {
listen 80;
server_name www.<mydomain>.com;
root /var/www/<myapp>/public;
location ^~ /assets/ {
gzip_static on;
expires max;
add_header Cache-Control public;
}
try_files $uri/index.html $uri @<myapp>;
location @<myapp> {
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
proxy_redirect off;
proxy_pass http://<myapp>;
}
error_page 500 502 503 504 /500.html;
client_max_body_size 20M;
keepalive_timeout 10;
}
Enjoy!
