Ruby on Rails One Click install - Change/add application and keep Puma running

Good day,

I’ve use the one click Ruby on Rails image to create a droplet. I’ve cloned my project in /home/rails/project-name and installed all dependancies and migrated the database. I’ve also created a virtual host configuration file in sites-available and added a symbolic link to sites enabled.

I’ve edited /etc/systemd/system/rails.service to changed the path. I’ve reloaded/refreshed the unit file and restarted the rails service and rebooted the server.

The problem I have is that my application won’t work unless I start puma manually (if I don’t nginx shows a 502 error).

If I start the puma server manually everything works fine but it shuts down as soon as I exit the terminal.

Please can someone help me figure out what the issue might be? This happens when both I listen on port 3000 and using a unix socket. It even happens for a fresh rails installation. The only difference in my app and the example app is that I use MySql instead of Postgres…

Any ideas?
