Ruby on Rails 3的推荐开发Web服务器

Question

What web server would you recommend for Ruby on Rails 3 web development on Linux? How about Windows?

Answer 1

I'd recommend the Thin server. Works great both on Linux and Windows. And it's very easy to install: gem install thin . If you are using Rails 3, you may want to add it do your Gemfile instead:

group :development do
  gem "thin"
end

And then run bundle install .

Once it's installed, you can run it with: rails s thin .

I find it a very fast and clean choice.

Just a note: thin depends on the eventmachine gem. I had a hard time making it work on Windows. You might want to link it to this specific ref in github to avoid trouble:

gem "eventmachine", :git => "http://github.com/eventmachine/eventmachine.git", :ref => "6c7997798"

As far as I remember, the last version of eventmachine does not build on Windows.

Answer 2

In Rails 3, you can use Unicorn with ease!

group :development do
  gem "unicorn"
end

Instead of rails s you start your server by simply running

unicorn

For more verbose output, use

unicorn -d

Answer 3

Passenger 3 Standalone. As easy as passenger start .

On Windows the best is a VirtualBox instance running the same setup.

Answer 4

您也可以考虑使用Unicorn作为rails 3的Web服务器。对于Windows，您可以使用apache或nginx运行mongrel集群。
