start unicorn app server when the ubuntu server starts
ruby, ruby-on-rails, ruby-on-rails-3, unicorn
Solution
In my case, I just wanted it quick so I place the startup command in `/etc/rc.local` like below. Note that i'm using `RVM`.
# By default this script does nothing.
cd <your project dir>
/usr/local/rvm/gems/ruby-2.2.1/wrappers/bundle exec unicorn -c <your project dir>/config/unicorn.conf -D
test -e /etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key || dpkg-reconfigure openssh-server
exit 0
Make sure your startup command is above the exit 0. After you reboot, check whether it is running or not by directly hitting the url of your application or use `ps -aux | grep unicorn` command.
Note* Previously I use Phusion Passenger but I'm having trouble to see its error log, so I move back to unicorn. I also tried @warantesbr without success, which I guess it fails because my whole environment where setup using root access.
Problem
I am running my rails application using ruby enterprise edition with unicorn as app server. I run this command ``` bundle exec unicorn -D -c /home/ubuntu/apps/st/config/unicorn.rb ``` I need to run this command soon after the system reboots or starts. I am running the app on ubuntu 10.04 LTS EC2 instance. I tried couple of examples which are mentioned on this site as well as this site but it’s not working for me. Any heads up
