Yah, SSL would be nice. Had to use the full-blown Passenger for Nginx in development to be able to test with self-signed certs.

Would be great to have SSL in Passenger Standalone as well, like:

rvmsudo passenger start -p 80 -pssl 443 –user=username

@Eduardo: “widely-used” is the keyword.

“As of 2010, Phusion Passenger appears to be the only widely-used Ruby app server that implements this [automatic] model”

LiteSpeed has always implemented this model, even before Passenger. Maybe you are referring to those completely free app servers?

@Roger:
No, as long as windows POSIX state/semantics isn’t really fully compliant to the *nix one, windows won’t be supported any time in the near future.

Hi,

wow, great thoughts.

Would it be possible to make automatic mass deployment available not only through subdomains but also through sub-uris?

I think of something like http://www.example.com/projects/app1

where “projects” serves the same way as “sites”.

In the moment I have to reconfigure and restart the webserver when doing this with passenger.

I am working on an webapp, which allows to add little apps (with very short lifetime) which I would like to run in separate processes and I do not want DNS to be involved with this setup.

Before your video, I thought, I would do this with jruby and tomcat, but since I normally use passenger, well it would be great, to use it for this project.

@Wiebe:
Thanks for the kind words and we’d love to help you out with your paper. So Phusion Passenger can be incorporated with a webserver e.g. nginx / apache. Because it now speaks HTTP because of that, you can put it behind any loadbalancer or your choice It would look pretty much no different than with other technologies in that regard. Hope that answers your question.
