[chef] Re: RE: rails, nginx, unicorn

[Jeff Byrnes < >]

We’ve written a few cookbooks for our Rails apps, but they’re private for various reasons. However, the community nginx cookbook is pretty good: https://github.com/opscode-cookbooks/nginx

And you can check out our fork of it that adds some socket proxy goodness for Unicorn:

https://github.com/evertrue/nginx-cookbook

The pattern we follow is to set up the server with nginx properly configured, then let the apps’ deployments install rbenv, Ruby, & Bundler, then use Bundler to install all the necessary gems for the app. Initial deployment is a bit slow, but after that, you’ve got the flexibility to let your apps determine the specific versions of things you need (e.g., Ruby itself, Rails, various gems).

Hello,

Is there a rails,nginx, unicorn cookbook out there in chef land that is maintained by a web 3.0 company out there? :)

For some reason I see most people are still stuck with apache.

I know I can build my own (that's the beauty of chef hehe) but just curious if there any any cookbooks that are rails/ruby specific that are maintained by a company that just so happens to open source their devops.

Thanks for your guidance.
