gosu VS ocra

I assume that is why I see gosu [1] used so often for dropping privileges. It's good to have some explanation as to why su is unsuitable for this.

Use a tool like https://github.com/tianon/gosu to set up signals properly and drop privileges, then just print everything to stdout and it will hit your logs fine. As for the logs themselves, I just view them in my dashboard, which takes essentially no resources. Every other solution I have found takes an insane amount of resources to run (looking at you Elasticsearch).

If updating ocra doesn't solve the problem, try looking at this

For that I used the Ocra gem.

I've had more success with a similar tool, called ocra [1]

I use Ocra to create the Windows executable.

So, the problem I have is quite complicated... I'm packaging a Ruby application. I'm using Ocra for this. What it does is create a self-extracting compressed file containing the Ruby interpreter, any gems and your scripts. This self-extracting behavior is most likely what sometimes triggers the antivirus. Searching for answers in the Ocra GitHub issues, I found posts saying that it will eventually happen and there's no way to definitively fix it. I don't know of any other simple ways to distribute Ruby applications unfortunately.
