Setting up Nginx + Passenger¶

Passenger packages/repos are available at http://passenger.stealthymonkeys.com/

Install packages

    # yum install -y nginx-passenger

Create self signed certificate

    # cd /etc/nginx/
    # openssl genrsa -des3 -out server.key 1024
    # openssl req -new -key server.key -out server.csr
    # cp server.key server.key.org
    # openssl rsa -in server.key.org -out server.key
    # openssl x509 -req -days 365 -in server.csr -signkey server.key -out server.crt

Make a local copy of the apps `public` directory (local to rails, as nginx/passenger doesn't seem to like symbolic links)

    # cd /usr/share/foreman
    # rm public
    # cp -a /var/lib/foreman/public .

Add to `/etc/nginx/nginx.conf`:

    env PATH;

Create foreman application config file `/etc/nginx/conf.d/foreman.conf`:

    server {
        listen 443;
        server_name _;
        ssl on;
        ssl_certificate /etc/nginx/server.crt;
        ssl_certificate_key /etc/nginx/server.key;
        access_log /var/log/nginx/foreman_access.log;
        error_log /var/log/nginx/foreman_error.log debug;
        root /usr/share/foreman/public;
        passenger_enabled on;
        passenger_user foreman;
        passenger_group foreman;
        #location / {
        #}
    }
