Rails 4 API deployment example to Amazon EC2 using Capistrano 3, Nginx, Puma, GitHub, and RVM?

I have a Rails 4 API project on GitHub, and I'm trying to deploy it from my MacBook Pro using Capistrano 3 to two Amazon AWS EC2 Ubuntu instances using SSH keys - one is the app/web server, and the other is the PostgreSQL database server. The app/web server has the latest Ruby 2 via RVM, and will serve the API with Nginx / Puma. Nginx will host multiple sites, one of which is this API. These are the relevant gems I'm using:

  • gem 'capistrano', '~> 3.0.0'
  • gem 'capistrano-rails'
  • gem 'capistrano-bundler'
  • gem 'capistrano-rvm', '~> 0.0.2'
  • gem 'capistrano-puma', github: "seuros/capistrano-puma"

So far, I've found no complete Capistrano 3 config example that uses Puma, but as important as these two gems are to the Rails community, I'm sure there must a working Rails repository somewhere on GitHub that includes these.

I've already been through the official Capistrano 3 documentation. I'm having trouble with the differences between Capistrano 2 and Capistrano 3, and would like to see a complete Capistrano 3 example to understand the differences. Ideally, I'm looking for an open source GitHub repository that has all the configuration files completed (Capistrano 3, Puma, Nginx) and working that I can reference.

Thank you!

I will augment my answer if requested, but since this is pretty simple I'll just make you a list. Basically, with Capistrano 3 and Puma 2.6 here's enough to get you going:

  1. Add puma to Gemfile in production group.
  2. Require 'capistrano/puma' from Capfile.
  3. Setup any puma options in config/deploy.rb if needed.
  4. Run cap puma:config to copy puma config file to the server.
  5. Run cap <stage> deploy.
  6. Setup nginx's upstream to the socket path specified in the server's Puma config.
  7. Restart nginx.

This question is pretty old but I have the exact same setup: Capistrano 3, Puma and nginx so I figure it may still help someone, especially since Puma is now the default for Rails 5. My project is not open source so I can't point to a Github public repository, but here is my complete Capistrano configuration for anyone to take a look. It has been working flawlessly for months now.

To properly start Puma in the production server upon EC2 reboot / new instance creation, take a look at my answer here:

Puma restart fails on reboot using EC2 + Rails + Nginx + Capistrano
