Yes thanks for this well I am pretty set with nginx + passenger. Once I
spent the week end digging into it I am pretty happy and it is the
recommended way to deploy by many so I will trust this setup for now. I
like this more than moving parts with reverse proxies and since it will end
up to me to manage this I want to keep it simple as time is scarce ;)
