Puma daemon service
Init script to manage multiple Puma servers on the same box using start-stop-daemon.
Installation
# Copy the init script to services directory
sudo cp puma /etc/init.d
sudo chmod +x /etc/init.d/puma
# Make it start at boot time.
sudo update-rc.d -f puma defaults
# Copy the Puma runner to an accessible location
sudo cp run-puma /usr/local/bin
sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/run-puma
# Create an empty configuration file
sudo touch /etc/puma.conf
Managing the jungle
Puma apps are held in /etc/puma.conf by default. It's mainly a CSV file and every line represents one app. Here's the syntax:
app-path,user,config-file-path,log-file-path,environment-variables
You can add an instance by editing the file or running the following command:
sudo /etc/init.d/puma add /path/to/app user /path/to/app/config/puma.rb /path/to/app/log/puma.log
The config and log paths, as well as the environment variables, are optional parameters and default to:
- config: /path/to/app/config/puma.rb
- log: /path/to/app/log/puma.log
- environment: (empty)
Multiple environment variables need to be separated by a semicolon, e.g.
FOO=1;BAR=2
To remove an app, simply delete the line from the config file or run:
sudo /etc/init.d/puma remove /path/to/app
The command will make sure the Puma instance stops before removing it from the jungle.
Assumptions
-
The script expects a temporary folder named /path/to/app/tmp/puma to exist. Create it if it's not there by default. The pid and state files should live there and must be called: tmp/puma/pid and tmp/puma/state. You can change those if you want but you'll have to adapt the script for it to work.
-
Here's what a minimal app's config file should have:
pidfile "/path/to/app/tmp/puma/pid"
state_path "/path/to/app/tmp/puma/state"
activate_control_app
