systemd
systemd is a commonly available init system (PID 1) on many Linux distributions. It offers process monitoring (including automatic restarts) and other useful features for running Puma in production.
Service Configuration
Below is a sample puma.service configuration file for systemd, which can be copied or symlinked to /etc/systemd/system/puma.service, or if desired, using an application or instance specific name.
Note that this uses the systemd preferred "simple" type where the start command remains running in the foreground (does not fork and exit).
[Unit]
Description=Puma HTTP Server
After=network.target
# Uncomment for socket activation (see below)
# Requires=puma.socket
[Service]
# Foreground process (do not use --daemon in ExecStart or config.rb)
Type=simple
# Preferably configure a non-privileged user
# User=
# The path to the your application code root directory.
# Also replace the "<YOUR_APP_PATH>" place holders below with this path.
# Example /home/username/myapp
WorkingDirectory=<YOUR_APP_PATH>
# Helpful for debugging socket activation, etc.
# Environment=PUMA_DEBUG=1
# SystemD will not run puma even if it is in your path. You must specify
# an absolute URL to puma. For example /usr/local/bin/puma
# Alternatively, create a binstub with `bundle binstubs puma --path ./sbin` in the WorkingDirectory
ExecStart=/<FULLPATH>/bin/puma -C <YOUR_APP_PATH>/puma.rb
# Variant: Rails start.
# ExecStart=/<FULLPATH>/bin/puma -C <YOUR_APP_PATH>/config/puma.rb ../config.ru
# Variant: Use `bundle exec --keep-file-descriptors puma` instead of binstub
# Variant: Specify directives inline.
# ExecStart=/<FULLPATH>/puma -b tcp://0.0.0.0:9292 -b ssl://0.0.0.0:9293?key=key.pem&cert=cert.pem
Restart=always
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
See systemd.exec for additional details.
Socket Activation
systemd and puma also support socket activation, where systemd opens the listening socket(s) in advance and provides them to the puma master process on startup. Among other advantages, this keeps listening sockets open across puma restarts and achieves graceful restarts, including when upgraded puma, and is compatible with both clustered mode and application preload.
Note: Any wrapper scripts which exec
, or other indirections in
ExecStart
, may result in activated socket file descriptors being closed
before they reach the puma master process. For example, if using bundle exec
,
pass the --keep-file-descriptors
flag. bundle exec
can be avoided by using a
puma
executable generated by bundle binstubs puma
. This is tracked in
[#1499].
Note: Socket activation doesn't currently work on jruby. This is tracked in #1367.
To use socket activation, configure one or more ListenStream
sockets
in a companion *.socket
unit file. Also uncomment the associated
Requires
directive for the socket unit in the service file (see
above.) Here is a sample puma.socket, matching the ports used in the
above puma.service:
[Unit]
Description=Puma HTTP Server Accept Sockets
[Socket]
ListenStream=0.0.0.0:9292
ListenStream=0.0.0.0:9293
# AF_UNIX domain socket
# SocketUser, SocketGroup, etc. may be needed for Unix domain sockets
# ListenStream=/run/puma.sock
# Socket options matching Puma defaults
NoDelay=true
ReusePort=true
Backlog=1024
[Install]
WantedBy=sockets.target
See systemd.socket for additional configuration details.
Note that the above configurations will work with Puma in either single process or cluster mode.
Sockets and symlinks
When using releases folders, you should set the socket path using the
shared folder path (ex. /srv/projet/shared/tmp/puma.sock
), not the
release folder path (/srv/projet/releases/1234/tmp/puma.sock
).
Puma will detect the release path socket as different than the one provided by
systemd and attempt to bind it again, resulting in the exception
There is already a server bound to:
.
Usage
Without socket activation, use systemctl
as root (e.g. via sudo
) as
with other system services:
# After installing or making changes to puma.service
systemctl daemon-reload
# Enable so it starts on boot
systemctl enable puma.service
# Initial start up.
systemctl start puma.service
# Check status
systemctl status puma.service
# A normal restart. Warning: listeners sockets will be closed
# while a new puma process initializes.
systemctl restart puma.service
With socket activation, several but not all of these commands should be run for both socket and service:
# After installing or making changes to either puma.socket or
# puma.service.
systemctl daemon-reload
# Enable both socket and service so they start on boot. Alternatively
# you could leave puma.service disabled and systemd will start it on
# first use (with startup lag on first request)
systemctl enable puma.socket puma.service
# Initial start up. The Requires directive (see above) ensures the
# socket is started before the service.
systemctl start puma.socket puma.service
# Check status of both socket and service.
systemctl status puma.socket puma.service
# A "hot" restart, with systemd keeping puma.socket listening and
# providing to the new puma (master) instance.
systemctl restart puma.service
# A normal restart, needed to handle changes to
# puma.socket, such as changing the ListenStream ports. Note
# daemon-reload (above) should be run first.
systemctl restart puma.socket puma.service
Here is sample output from systemctl status
with both service and
socket running:

capistrano3-puma
By default,
capistrano3-puma uses
pumactl
for deployment restarts, outside of systemd. To learn the
exact commands that this tool would use for ExecStart
and
ExecStop
, use the following cap
commands in dry-run mode, and
update from the above forking service configuration accordingly. Note
also that the configured User
should likely be the same as the
capistrano3-puma :puma_user
option.
stage=production # or different stage, as needed
cap $stage puma:start --dry-run
cap $stage puma:stop --dry-run
