Add option to bind to activated sockets (#2362)
Bind to (systemd) activated sockets, regardless of configured binds.

Systemd can present sockets as file descriptors that are already opened.
By default Puma will use these but only if it was explicitly told to bind
to the socket. If not, it will close the activated sockets. This means
all configuration is duplicated.

Binds can contain additional configuration, but only SSL config is really
relevant since the unix and TCP socket options are ignored.

This means there is a lot of duplicated configuration for no additional
value in most setups. This option tells the launcher to bind to all
activated sockets, regardless of existing binds.

The special value 'only' can be passed. If systemd activated sockets are
detected, all other binds are cleared. When they aren't detected, the
regular binds will be used.

# systemd
[systemd](https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/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).
~~~~ ini
[Unit]
Description=Puma HTTP Server
After=network.target
# Uncomment for socket activation (see below)
# Requires=puma.socket
[Service]
# Puma supports systemd's `Type=notify` and watchdog service
# monitoring, if the [sd_notify](https://github.com/agis/ruby-sdnotify) gem is installed,
# as of Puma 5.1 or later.
# On earlier versions of Puma or JRuby, change this to `Type=simple` and remove
# the `WatchdogSec` line.
Type=notify
# If your Puma process locks up, systemd's watchdog will restart it within seconds.
WatchdogSec=10
# 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

See [systemd.exec](https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd.exec.html)
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:
~~~~ ini
[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](https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd.socket.html)
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:`.
### Binding
By default you need to configure puma to have binds matching with all
ListenStream statements. Any mismatched systemd ListenStreams will be closed by
puma.
To automatically bind to all activated sockets, the option
`--bind-to-activated-sockets` can be used. This matches the config DSL
`bind_to_activated_sockets` statement. This will cause puma to create a bind
automatically for any activated socket. When systemd socket activation is not
enabled, this option does nothing.
This also accepts an optional argument `only` (DSL: `'only'`) to discard any
binds that's not socket activated.
## Usage
Without socket activation, use `systemctl` as root (e.g. via `sudo`) as
with other system services:
~~~~ sh
# 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:
~~~~ sh
# 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](https://github.com/seuros/capistrano-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.
~~~~ sh
stage=production # or different stage, as needed
cap $stage puma:start --dry-run
cap $stage puma:stop --dry-run
