# Overview
Rack provides a minimal, modular and adaptable interface for developing web applications in Ruby. This Charm will deploy Ruby on Rails, Sinatra or any other Rack application and connect it to supported services.
# Usage
To deploy this charm you will need at a minimum: a cloud environment, working Juju installation and a successful bootstrap. Once bootstrapped, deploy Rack charm and all required services.
## Ruby on Rails example
Configure your application, for example:
**sample-rails.yml**
sample-rails:
repo: https://github.com/pavelpachkovskij/sample-rails
Deploy Rack application:
juju deploy rack sample-rails --config sample-rails.yml
Deploy and relate database
juju deploy postgresql
juju add-relation postgresql:db sample-rails
Now you can run migrations:
juju ssh sample-rails/0 run rake db:migrate
Seed database
juju ssh sample-rails/0 run rake db:seed
And finally expose the Rack service:
juju expose rack
Find the Rack instance's public URL from
juju status
### MySQL setup
juju deploy mysql
juju add-relation mysql rack
## Sinatra example
Configure your application, for example html2haml
**html2haml.yml**
html2haml:
repo: https://github.com/twilson63/html2haml.git
Deploy your Rack service
juju deploy rack html2haml --config html2haml.yml
Expose Rack service:
juju expose html2haml
## Source code updates
juju set <service_name> revision=<revision>
## Executing commands
juju ssh <unit_name> run <command>
## Restart application
juju ssh <unit_name> sudo restart rack
## Foreman integration
You can add Procfile to your application and Rack to start additional processes or replace default application server:
Example Procfile:
web: bundle exec unicorn -p $PORT
watcher: bundle exec rake watch
## Specifying a Ruby Version
You can use the ruby keyword of your app's Gemfile to specify a particular version of Ruby.
source "https://rubygems.org"
ruby "1.9.3"
# Horizontal scaling
Juju makes it easy to scale your Rack application. You can simply deploy any supported load balancer, add relation and launch any number of application instances.
## HAProxy
juju deploy rack rack --config rack.yml
juju deploy haproxy
juju add-relation haproxy rack
juju expose haproxy
juju add-unit rack -n 2
## Apache2
Apache2 is harder to start with, but it provides more flexibility with configuration options.
Here is a quick example of using Apache2 as a load balancer with your rack application:
Deploy Rack application
juju deploy rack --config rack.yml
You have to enable mod_proxy_balancer and mod_proxy_http modules in your Apache2 config:
**apache2.yml** example
apache2:
enable_modules: proxy_balancer proxy_http
Deploy Apache2
juju deploy apache2 --config apache2.yml
Create balancer relation between Apache2 and Rack application
juju add-relation apache2:balancer rack
Apache2 charm expects a template to be passed in. Example of vhost that will balance all traffic over your application instances:
**vhost.tmpl**
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName rack
ProxyPass / balancer://rack/ lbmethod=byrequests stickysession=BALANCEID
ProxyPassReverse / balancer://rack/
</VirtualHost>
Update Apache2 service config with this template
juju set apache2 "vhost_http_template=$(base64 < vhost.tmpl)"
Expose Apache2 service
juju expose apache2
# Logging with Logstash
You can add logstash service to collect information from application's logs and Kibana application to visualize this data.
juju deploy kibana
juju deploy logstash-indexer
juju add-relation kibana logstash-indexer:rest
juju deploy logstash-agent
juju add-relation logstash-agent logstash-indexer
juju add-relation logstash-agent rack
juju set logstash-agent CustomLogFile="['/var/www/rack/current/log/*.log']" CustomLogType="rack"
juju expose kibana
# Monitoring with Nagios and NRPE
You can can perform HTTP checks with Nagios. To do this deploy Nagios and relate it to your Rack application:
juju deploy nagios
juju add-relation rack nagios
Additionally you can perform disk, mem, and swap checks with NRPE extension:
juju deploy nrpe
juju add-relation rack nrpe
juju add-relation nrpe nagios
# MongoDB relation
Deploy MonogDB service and relate it to Rack application:
juju deploy mongodb
juju add-relation mongodb rack
Rack charm will set environment variables which you can use to configure your Mongodb adapter.
MONGODB_URL => mongodb://host:port/database
## Mongoid 2.x
Your mongoid.yml should look like:
production:
uri: <%= ENV['MONGODB_URL'] %>
## Mongoid 3.x
Your mongoid.yml should look like:
production:
sessions:
default:
uri: <%= ENV['MONGODB_URL'] %>
In both cases you can set additional options specified by Mongoid.
# Memcached relation
Deploy Memcached service and relate it to Rack application:
juju deploy memcached
juju add-relation memcached rack
Rack charm will set environment variables which you can use to configure your Memcache adapter. [Dalli](https://github.com/mperham/dalli) use those variables by default.
MEMCACHE_PASSWORD => xxxxxxxxxxxx
MEMCACHE_SERVERS => instance.hostname.net
MEMCACHE_USERNAME => xxxxxxxxxxxx
# Redis relation
Deploy Redis service and relate it to Rack application:
juju deploy redis-master
juju add-relation redis-master:redis-master rack
Rack charm will set environment variables which you can use to configure your Redis adapter.
REDIS_URL => redis://username:password@my.host:6389
For example you can configure Redis adapter in config/initializers/redis.rb
uri = URI.parse(ENV["REDIS_URL"])
REDIS = Redis.new(:host => uri.host, :port => uri.port, :password => uri.password)
# Known issues
## Rack application didn't start because assets were not compiled
To be able to compile assets before you've joined database relation you have to disable initialize_on_precompile option in application.rb:
config.assets.initialize_on_precompile = false
If you can't do this you still can join database and compile assets manually:
juju ssh rack/0 run rake assets:precompile
Then restart Rack service (while you have to replace 'rack/0' with your application name, e.g. 'sample-rails/0', 'sudo restart rack' is a valid command to restart any deployed application):
juju ssh rack/0 sudo restart rack
# Configuration
## Deploy from Git
Sample Git config:
rack:
repo: <repository_url>
revision: <revision_number>
To deploy from private repo via SSH add 'deploy_key' option:
deploy_key: <private_key>
## Deploy from SVN
Sample SVN config:
rack:
scm_provider: svn
repo: <repository_url>
revision: <revision_number>
svn_username: <username>
svn_password: <password>
## Install extra packages
Specify list of packages separated by spaces:
extra_packages: 'libsqlite3++-dev libmagick++-dev'
## Set ENV variables
You can set ENV variables, which will be available within all processes defined in a Procfile:
env: 'AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=aws_access_key_id AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=aws_secret_access_key'
