Phusion Passenger VS forever

Secondly, there is, of course, a bug with Passenger and /var/run/passenger-instreg (I can be found in that thread whining). My preferred fix for this is

While there is a debate on which ones are the best, we will be using Passenger and Nginx, since they are both fast and reliable. You may wish to do your own research and see which one works for you.

In this tutorial we will be deploying a Rails app with Passenger, as the application server, and Nginx, as the web server. Also, the Rails app will use Postgres, so we will be installing that as well.

Here's Puma's implementation, and Here's Passenger's implementation.

server { listen 80; listen [::]:80; server_name YOUR_DOMAIN.ORG; # If you deploy without DNS and SSL, you could leave servername blank like below # server_name _; root /home/deploy/APPNAME/current/public; passenger_enabled on; passenger_app_env production; passenger_env_var RUBYOPT '-r bundler/setup'; # Cf issue: https://github.com/phusion/passenger/issues/2409 # Uncomment if you use ActionCable and/or Turbo Streams # location /cable { # passenger_app_group_name APPNAME_websocket; # passenger_force_max_concurrent_requests_per_process 0; # } # Allow uploads up to 100MB in size client_max_body_size 100m; location ~ ^/assets { expires max; gzip_static on; } }

PHP is great, but not for all of us. What about running Node.js or Python apps? You might be tempted to use proxy_pass but it won't handle the app startup and crashes for us. Luckily we have a better option: Phusion Passenger.

I have been following all day guides on https://www.phusionpassenger.com/ on how to deploy Rails apps with Apache and Passenger.

Have you checked out https://github.com/foreversd/forever

Forever A simple CLI tool for ensuring that a given script runs continuously (i.e. forever)

Also, if you want node red to run on startup, you can use PM2 or forever to make that happen.

You can fork it, if you wish. You can maintain a public fork and even accept patches from the community, or not accept patches, or only maintain a private fork and not share it with anyone.

Also, it looks like it's in a semi-zombie state. They even encourage to use other programs:

This is great but, I'd rather not have a console left open 24/7, so I decided to use the forever package to run my script in the background:

To use at the same time multiple NodeJS servers you can use forever. I think you can do it without forever, using the normal NodeJS console, but I wasn't able to.
