To whomever it may concern,
I notice the common thread here. How to deploy typo?
There is many ways to deploy typo, the most common is
1) FastCGI.
We all know, it sucks.
It sucks, but "it takes less memory" to quote someone I know who uses
Lighttpd + FastCGI. His rather old RSS Reading application took 250
Megabytes of memory, for which is "not there" in FastCGI Mode.
2) Mongrel/Webrick
Nginx with proxy load balancer to cluster of Thin/Ebb (+unix socket)
processes is a much faster.
If thin supported Streaming (Not Media, but the Mongrel Extension) it
would be something I would have no issue using. I've mentioned that
to the author of Thin and we'll see how that goes.
3) Phusion Passenger (aka mod_rails?)
This is the best option. Fast and dead brain simple to deploy (just
like PHP).
Now, there's no real difference with Mongrel/Webrick
Mongrel is much faster than Webrick. Thin is faster than Mongrel, and
Ebb is faster than Mongrel or Thin.
But those who have come from the "PHP Boat" (as we'll call
it, a/k/a wordpress, etc) they just untar files into a directory
edit a few
files, loadup their web browser and bam. It works.
Phusion mod_passenger (http://www.modrails.com/) works in the very
same way. Just copy your files, load web browser and bam. It works.
Need to reload application? No problem. Create empty restart.txt file
in the tmp folder. Apache will reload the application. No need to
restart Apache. No SSH needed. Simple FTP access is all you need.
mod_passenger works also with others Ruby frameworks which use
Rack,e.g. Merb. It even works also with Python... :)
You also forget mention Ruby Enterprise version which uses 33% less
memory... It works fine with mod_passenger and lowers the memory
footprint. http://www.rubyenterpriseedition.com/
mod_passenger is _the easiest option_ for deployment Rails
applications (including Typo).
But, there is also another, 4-th deploy option: JRuby. It is also
brain dead simple to deploy. Just create WAR file and copy it into
webapps Tomcat's folder. That's all!
sudo jruby -S gem install warbler, activerecord-jdbc-adapter
jruby -S rails my_app
For developing use: jruby script/server; jruby script/console etc.
For production, just create ROOT.war file (with "warble war" command)
and copy it into webapps folder in Tomcat, Jetty or another Java
servlets container. This WAR file contains ALL gems (including JRuby
interpreter) so it works fine in all platforms.
I know a few people who have been deploying Merb apps in Tomcat that
way. I understand it's a very easy way to pass off a Merb app as a
"Java" Webapp without someone knowing what it really is. As far as
Ruby Enterprise Version I was not aware of that, but like everything
you don't always find all the options in 1 concise web page.
