Are there any good link/resources deploying a Rack app(Not rails!).
So far I have the Rack app set-up with the folders and such but I have been having LOTS of trouble with the nginx part so I uninstalled and decided to try again.
Maybe someone here give me a good dumbed-down version to do this task?
Thanks in advance
Sure thing! Here is the simplified setup for nginx as a proxy to your ruby app.
Install nginx:
apt-get update;
apt-get install nginx
Then in your main virtualhost configuration: /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/default
Replace the existing Location / block with the following:
location / {
proxy_pass http://localhost:4567;
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
}
Making sure to change 4567 to the port your app is running on if it is different. Then restart nginx so your changes will take effect:
service nginx restart;
