I do use nginx (and mongrel). I got some nginx patches accepted upstream for a complete support of CRL, so it is even easier to now use nginx for a master. Nginx also allows file content offloading relatively easily (see my blog for an example, more to come soon on this front). > I like choice, but I think it would be great if we could have a > favored option, for people who didn't want to do the research. I think the current consensus is for Passenger. But I'm wondering if it's because it's the REE companion or because it's superior to mongrel. BTW, there is a well maintained Passenger module for nginx. > Right now that seems to be Apache+Passenger, but not saying we > couldn't change that later.

I'm able to run puppet on JRuby, but it seems I'm the only one :-) So, I guess it's not yet ready for showtime. The stack is relatively easy to come with: - a reverse proxy (mainly to be an ssl endpoint) - a servlet container (ie jetty or glassfish (available in a gem) - a glue to rack (jruby-rack, usually embedded in the previous layer) - puppet - jruby -- Brice Figureau My Blog: http://www.masterzen.fr/ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
