golden_brindle¶ ↑

Tool to help start/stop/restart multiple unicorn servers to use behind a web servers like nginx. This app adds an option to specify a number of Unicorn worker processes to launch, a range of ports, and a configuration file for the cluster. Use “-h” to see command syntax.

Configure cluster and save configuration file to config/brindle.yml:

golden_brindle brindle::configure

You must copy this configuration file to the /etc/brindles directory to autostart on system boot.

Start by hand to test proper start:

golden_brindle start

Reload source code after deploy or code update:

golden_brindle restart

Stop:

golden_brindle stop

Open brindle config file for the application and set bundler option to true:

bundler: true

And update you Gemfile adding this line:

gem 'golden_brindle'

• Fork the project.

• Make your feature addition or bug fix.

• Add tests for it. This is important so I don’t break it in a future version unintentionally.

• Commit, do not mess with Rakefile, version, or history. (if you want to have your own version, that is fine but bump version in a commit by itself I can ignore when I pull)

• Send me a pull request. Bonus points for topic branches.
