Ubuntu 12.04, Ruby, Rails, Nginx, Unicorn and git-deploy

In the seemlingly endless search for the actual correct and easy way to deploy a Rails app, we have tried several ways. We tried out using Apache2 and running a cluster of Thin servers. With the built in threading of Puma we decided to use it with Nginx.

Server Setup

• Create new server
• Login to new server
  • ssh root@IPaddress (you can also use the domain name if you have the DNS setup already)
  • accept the RSA key

Zero downtime deploys with unicorn + nginx + runit + rvm + chef

Below are the actual files we use in one of our latest production applications at Agora Games to achieve zero downtime deploys with unicorn. You've probably already read the GitHub blog post on Unicorn and would like to try zero downtime deploys for your application. I hope these files and notes help. I am happy to update these files or these notes if there are comments/questions. YMMV (of course).

Other application notes:

• Our application uses MongoDB, so we don't have database migrations to worry about as with MySQL or postgresql. That does not mean that we won't have to worry about issues with the database with indexes being built in MongoDB or what have you.
• We use capistrano for deployment.

Salient points for each file:

These simple SCSS/SASS mixins for Foundation 4 are made by me to deal with media-queries and have a clean code at the same time! ;)

****IMPORTANT****

Due to Foundation 4 uses mobile-first methodology, every $phone-"X" variable in these mixins defines the value for every screen size.
$desktop-"X" values overrides $phone-"X" values when the width of the window is 768px and above.
