nginx-app was created to configure (new) rails apps in a quick and easy way.
nginx, puma (or whatever) with Procfile (foreman).
Because pow is a wonderful idea, but too slow in my expercience.
brew install nginx
sudo cp /usr/local/opt/nginx/*.plist /Library/LaunchDaemons
sudo launchctl load /Library/LaunchDaemons/homebrew.mxcl.nginx.plist
mkdir /usr/local/etc/nginx/sites/
Add the following to /urs/local/etc/nginx/nginx.conf
# Load all vhosts !
include /usr/local/etc/nginx/sites/*.conf;
brew install dnsmasq
echo 'address=/.dev/127.0.0.1' > /usr/local/etc/dnsmasq.conf
sudo cp -fv /usr/local/opt/dnsmasq/*.plist /Library/LaunchDaemons
sudo launchctl load /Library/LaunchDaemons/homebrew.mxcl.dnsmasq.plist
Create a file /etc/resolver/dev containing:
nameserver 127.0.0.1
Run nginx-app in the app root.
A nginx server conf (app.dev) will be created which proxies all app requests to a unix {app-name} unix socket. At the same time a Procfile will be created with a web config on the same socket.
Run sudo nginx -s reload to load the new config.
Next, one starts the app with foreman start -f Procfile.local and point the browser to http://app.dev.
