Question

Run rails app on IP instead of port.

Posted March 3, 2017 3.6k views
Ruby on RailsUbuntu 16.04

Hello, I deployed my rails app on my droplet using this tutorial: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-deploy-a-rails-app-with-git-hooks-on-ubuntu-14-04 -> with git hooks, puma and nginx.

But when my app is running I can only access it using http://my_ip_address:3000, when 3000 is app’s localhost port.

How to configure app in order to get it under http://my_ip_address?

Thank you in advance for your help.

Read the “Install and Configure Nginx” part of the tutorial you linked.

    Already read and done. Her is my nginx config:

    upstream myapp {
    # Path to Puma SOCK file, as defined previously
    server unix:/home/me/myapp/shared/sockets/puma.sock fail_timeout=0;
    }

    server {
    listen 80;
    server_name http://46.101.198.190/;

    root /home/me/todoardo/myapp;

try_files $uri/index.html $uri @app;

location @app {
    proxy_pass http://app;
    proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
    proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
    proxy_redirect off;
}

error_page 500 502 503 504 /500.html;
client_max_body_size 4G;
keepalive_timeout 10;

    }

You’ll need to change server_name in your server block as what you have now will most likely cause NGINX to fail when attempting to start/restart/reload.

This:

server_name http://46.101.198.190/;

Should be (as per the tutorial):

server_name localhost;

Other such valid configuration would be:

server_name domain.com www.domain.com;

or

server_name domain.com *.domain.com;

or

server_name hostname.domain.com www.hostname.domain.com;

ect.

…

After changes have been made and saved, you’ll need to reload NGINX using:

systemctl reload nginx

or

service nginx reload
