RubyWorks production stack is a collection of open-source software required to host a RubyOnRails application on a Linux server.
To set up a production Rails server, you point a package manager to RubyWorks package repository, run one command, and few minutes later you have a skeleton Rails application served by a cluster of Mongrel servers, load-balanced by HAProxy, monitored by monit and controlled by runit.
Version 0.0.4 is the first release candidate on the way to version 1.0. The core stack has stabilized, and changes from 0.0.3 are all peripheral:
* Officially supported x86_64 packages on Red Hat Enterprise Linux and CentOS. * Pre-compiled Ruby gems added to the package repositories: rubygem-libxml-ruby, rubygem-hpricot, rubygem-ferret, rubygem-ruby-debug, rubygem-rmagick. All these packages are optional (not automatically installed with 'rubyworks' main package, but available from the same RPM/DEB repositories). * Added log rotation script /etc/cron.daily/rubyworks.logrotate.daily. * BUGFIX: Corrected the value of clitimeout in haproxy.conf (changed from 150 seconds to 15 seconds). * Added documentation for individual components in the stack.
