How to start a Rails server forever on Ubuntu

Question

I have uploaded my Rails app on my Ubuntu server, where I want to keep my Rails server running so that any one can access it at any time.

I tried the command below to run my app:

rails server --binding=oditek.in -p 8888

Please help me to make this possible.

Answer 1

You can try following option to run the server in background.

rails s -d ## With default Port.
rails s -p 8888 -d ## With Custom port.

Or

nohup rails s &

Or

You can also configure your project with Nginx + Passenger
