Phusion Passenger / mod_rails

I was running some mongrel_clusters until today. :) I had read about phusion a couple of times, but only now I took a few minutes to install it.

Some things went wrong at first (no rake in $PATH, missing some packages) but the installer notified me about that. Very nice.

Installing was a breeze, so now our rails apps run in apache with mod_rails (passenger). We still proxy and serve static content with nginx though.

Next step: Enterprise ruby, or some other VM

Hudson rocks

Last week I've implemented Hudson as our buildserver. Previously, we were using Luntbuild (and cruisecontrol).

The installation was a breeze. Installing it as a service was just a click away. We did have some problems with SSL when installing several plugins, so we donwloaded them from theinternet manually.

Hudson is a very neat tool, which integrates with http://www.redmine.org

thumbs up!
