Re: [Rails] New web server suggestions

Thanks Spaceghost,

I'm trying to get a feel for what is the ideal environment for my Ruby on Rails websites (I know it's not Windows). I really have no experience with Ubantu or Debian or anything out of the Windows world, I was hoping to get some ideas about ideal environments so I could focus and learn about those before buying my first non-windows server.

I guess my specific questions would be:

  1. what is your preferred OS on the server for a Ruby on Rails ECommerce app

  2. what webserver software do you prefer

  3. what other technologies would you recommend I investigate

I heard great things about unicorn, passenger and nginx - none of these technologies work well on Windows

My preferred stack, without using jruby, is as follows.

Webserver: nginx
App servers:
  * puma
  * unicorn

I guess there's a lot more. Do you have any specific questions?

Sorry if I upset some members with this one.. i was just trying to find out some preferred server configurations. I'm still a Ruby noob.. coming from a PC background this questions wouldn't have caused this kind of response in my known field. I have 2 small e-commerce websites hosted currently on Windows 2008 R2 server.. I was looking to port it over to something more Ruby-friendly. They are simple sites, maybe a couple hundred users per day.

I would submit that this is not the sort of question for a mailing list. If you truly don't know how to figure this out, gathering a bunch of stuff from random folks won't help. Given all answers here are of "WE CAN'T TELL YOU" I'd suggest you hire someone to consult with you to help you figure it out. This is *not* a simple thing. DevOps is a not something to make hasty choices over.
