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

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/config/log/puma.log

The config and log paths are optional parameters and default to:

• config: /path/to/app/config/puma.rb
• log: /path/to/app/config/puma.log

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
