I''d like to announce the second release of capistrano-runit-tasks, available from http://rubyforge.org/projects/cappy-runit/ It now supports: * File based templates * sv as the service control command in addition to runsvctrl * A much simpler interface for creating additional services.

Hi ! I''m using daemontools[1] to manage a few processes on my Debian box. Among other things, I use it to manage svnserve, because it uses less memory than Apache. My /service/svnserve/run looks like this: #!/bin/sh su svn -c "/usr/local/bin/svnserve --foreground --daemon --root /var/svn" Is it safe for me to run like that ? If an attacker cracks svnserve, what will they

Sorry for the off-topic post, but I guess someone else may hit the same issue.... Having developed a rails application, I now need to put GPL text and a copyright notice at the start of each source file. For the .rb files, this will look like: # Copyright 2006 Robert Jones........... and for the .rhtml files it will look like: <!-- Copyright 2006 Robert Jones......... Can anyone think of

Hi all, If you are using Pound / Pen or another load balancer, I believe you should read this: http://blog.teksol.info/articles/2006/08/25/subversion-metadata-exposure-on-mongrel My article refers to Dan Benjamin''s http://hivelogic.com/articles/2006/04/30/preventing_svn_exposure My point is that even though we are preventing Apache from serving anything except a select few file

I''m looking for a virtual private server to run a RoR site accessing a database on a different machine. This is a small application - basically a form to add records, and a few summary screens. What are the minimal requirements for a vps? Thanks. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hey all, I''m casually shopping around for a host that will give me a virtual server running Debian. It would host some of my rails projects and probably some svn. Does anyone know of a good host? Anecdotes about satisfaction would be nice. Thanks, Bryan -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I would appreciate your opinion on a problem with sshd on Linux, when running under daemontools supervise. The configuration: sshd version OpenSSH_3.7.1p2 Redhat Linux 2.4.20-8smp #1 SMP i686 supervise / daemontools-0.76 I see the following behavior regarding groups: -bash-2.05b$ ssh mschulz at localhost id -Gn id: cannot find name for group ID 201 id: cannot find name for group ID 2039 OA3

Anyone figured out how to get rails/fastcgi to run on Resin. I assume it would be similar to PHP, which there are directions here: http://www.caucho.com/resin-3.0/thirdparty/php.xtp One thing that confuses me is that it wants a server address: <server-address>localhost:8002</server-address> Apparently you start the php process, like this: php -b 8002 And then the PHP process

How about adding a --no-detach option (to be used in combination with --daemon) to rsync so it can be run under Dan Bernstein's daemontools' supervise? If there's interest I'll provide a patch. -- Jos Backus _/ _/_/_/ Santa Clara, CA _/ _/ _/ _/ _/_/_/ _/ _/ _/ _/

Hi all, I am mocking the following Rails view (inside a partial): <%= render :partial => "forums/forum", :collection => forum_category.forums.readable_by(current_user? ? current_user : nil) %> My spec fails with the following message: 1) ActionView::TemplateError in ''forum_categories/index (anonymous user) should only render forums accessible to anonymous

Just curious as to the functionality of puppet. Does Puppet ensure that a service is up and running as long as puppet is running? Ie, I want to make sure ssh is always running, if for some reason ssh get''s shut down, does puppet start it back up when it does it''s config sync run?

Hi all ! InPlaceEditor refreshes only the element that was updated. Is there any way to make it update tons of other stuff ?

Hi ! I''m no expect when it comes time to configure Apache. I just enabled page caching in my Rails app, and am now looking at making Apache serve the cached files instead of calling into Rails. I know Mongrel is able to serve cached files if it finds them, but I''d like Apache to do it. Looking at .htaccess, there is this section: RewriteEngine On RewriteRule ^$ index.html

Hi ! Following the manual, section 2.6 describes how to replace the restart task. Since I''m using Lighttpd and SCGI, I did the following: desc "Restart the web server" task :restart, :roles => :app do sudo "cd #{deploy_to}/#{current} && scgi_cluster stop < #{deploy_to}/#{current}/config/.password" sudo "cd #{deploy_to}/#{current} &&

I''d like to announce the first release of capistrano-runit-tasks. This came about as I wanted to use runit rather than spinner/spawner/ reaper on my memory limited VPS but should be useable for any setup. From the README: This library extends Capistrano to allow processes to be supervised using the runit package. It replaces some of the standard tasks with runit versions and
