That depends. If you start Unicorn and make it listen to a Unix socket then no, you'll need something in front of it to accept the HTTP connections for you and then proxy that to the unicorn socket.
You can also tell Unicorn to bind against an IP, in which case you won't need an nginx in front and you can just tell f5 where to find your unicorn(s). You will, in both cases, need something like God, supervisord or something else to check and restart the Puppet Master in case it stops/crashes. -- Daniele Sluijters On Wednesday, 28 November 2012 20:21:35 UTC+1, DJames wrote: > > we have f5's load balancer can it be used instead of Nginx? > > On Wednesday, November 28, 2012 10:30:24 AM UTC-5, jmslagle wrote: >> >> >> On 11/28/2012 09:53 AM, DJames wrote: >> > current dev system is using passenger, but production (babystage) is >> > using 3.0 version, and we have 1800+ servers (prod) that will be >> clients.... >> > is passenger the way to go still? >> > >> >> I was previously using passenger and just recently switched to using >> nginx/unicorn.
