Passenger+Nginx+Docker app setup


TL;DR = Cannot get Passenger/Nginx to call our application from Django. "passenger-status" does not show proper Application Group that is shown in our currently live non-Docker server.

Trying to convert a live and running Passenger+Nginx+Django system to a Docker image. We started with the base Phusion:passenger-docker image and now trying to get it running like our live system. We followed the guide [here] but when we run the container, Passenger and Nginx do not run our application. Passenger provides the following output:

Solution

  • Hmmm... Try adding:

    ports:
      - 80:80
    

    to the app service.
