mongrel2 for Debian ------------------- Mongrel2 is split into two debian packages: First mongrel2-core, containing the binaries, which is useful if the web server is used embedded into another software and started from there. And second mongrel2-run, containing the start scripts and a trivial demo site, ready to be started as a stand alone server. As described in http://mongrel2.org/manual/book-finalch5.html, mongrel2 can be started using several methods. None of them seems to be strictly superior. For the debian package, I chose using runit, which allows for a simple and easy to understand configuration. As the provided start script runs mongrel2 as non-root, it can't bind to ports <1024, and doesn't use chroot. For a production server, it's probably wise to evaluate the possible deployment methods and chose an appropriate one, individually. -- Jan Niehusmann Sat, 14 Jun 2014 23:35:42 +0200
