Phusion Passenger Package update to 2.0 RC1 10 Jun 08

If you’ve been following the buzz from RailsConf 2008 you’ll know that Phusion Passenger has gone to version 2.0 with a whole load of new goodies including:

  • Merb Support via Rack
  • Lower VM Usage
  • Better load balancing and non-blocking file uploads

The package is on our repository at http://apt.brightbox.net and built for Ubuntu 8.04 (Hardy).

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Hongli at Phusion to knock out a few bugs and make Phusion Passenger easier to package. That work has paid off and I was able to quickly release the updated Passenger package within minutes of getting the nod from the Phusion guys.

That’s why we love Free Software here at Brightbox.

Brightbox builds Hardy Passenger package 21 May 08

We’ve created an Ubuntu Hardy package for Passenger - the apache ‘mod_rails’ hosting solution written by the team at Phusion, and sent the resulting patches back upstream to improve Passenger for everybody.

The package is available from the Brightbox repository at http://apt.brightbox.net and is called ‘libapache2-mod-passenger’.

Brightboxes have the repository in place by default, but you can easily add the repository to your system with the following commands:

sudo sh -c 'echo "deb http://apt.brightbox.net hardy main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/brightbox.list'
sudo sh -c 'wget -q -O - http://apt.brightbox.net/release.asc | apt-key add -'
sudo apt-get update

There will be a beta Passenger Brightbox machine available soon and we’re probably going to need some volunteers to trial it out. So if you like your Rails Hosting bleeding edge then let me know and I’ll put you on the list.

If you do use the .deb, be warned that I’m changing it all the time at the moment as Passenger evolves and I’m following Passenger trunk very closely.
