Phusion Passenger is an Apache and Nginx module for deploying Ruby web applications. It has a strong focus on ease of use, stability and performance. Phusion Passenger is built on top of tried-and-true, battle-hardened Unix technologies, yet at the same time introduces innovations not found in most traditional Unix servers.

Nginx with 2 new flavors : Naxsi & Passenger

Tue, 03 Apr 2012 17:04:16 +0000

Dotdeb’s packages of Nginx 1.0.14 for Debian 6.0 “Squeeze” (amd64/i386) have been synchronized with Debian’s ones to benefit from the great work of Cyril Lavier.

As a consequence, two new flavors of Nginx are now available, in addition to the regular nginx-light, nginx-full and nginx-extras packages :

nginx-naxsi inherits from nginx-light with a great new feature : Naxsi, a high performance, low rules maintenance, Web Application Firewall module. Use it if you want to protect your web apps from malicious visitors. Please read its documentation fore more info.
nginx-passenger is dedicated to Passenger, the well-known Ruby on Rails runtime. Please also note that :
- the passenger-common package has been renamed to ruby-passenger to stick to the Debian naming convention,
- Passenger was already included in nginx-extras. To ease the migration (don’t forget to backup your configuration files), it will stay so until Nginx 1.2 is released.

Rails user? Dotdeb now supports Passenger

Sat, 07 May 2011 07:53:14 +0000

Let me introduce Passenger :

Phusion Passenger™ — a.k.a. mod_rails or mod_rack — makes deployment of Ruby web applications, such as those built on the revolutionary Ruby on Rails web framework, a breeze. It follows the usual Ruby on Rails conventions, such as “Don’t-Repeat-Yourself”.

Deployment is only a matter of uploading application files. No Ruby (on Rails)-specific server configuration required!

Supports both the industry standard Apache web server and the fast and lightweight Nginx web server.

Zero maintenance. No port management, server process monitoring or stale file cleanup required. Errors are automatically recovered whenever possible.

Designed for performance, stability and security. Phusion Passenger should never crash Apache even in case of crashing Rails applications.

Well-documented, for both system administrators and developers!
