NAME

Catalyst::Manual::Deployment::NGINXUnit::PSGI - Deploying Catalyst with NGINX Unit

NGINX Unit

Catalyst runs under NGINX Unit using PSGI.

Configuration

To configure a Catalyst app in NGINX Unit, upload a JSON configuration snippet via Unit's config API, available at an IP socket or a Unix domain socket (depending on Unit's startup settings):

# curl -X PUT --data-binary @config.json --unix-socket \
   /path/to/control.unit.sock http://localhost/config

A minimal configuration includes a listener and an application entity:

{
    "listeners": {
        "127.0.0.1:8080": {
            "pass": "applications/catalyst_app"
        }
    },

    "applications": {
        "catalyst_app": {
            "type": "perl",
            "script": "/path/to/apps/myapp/myapp.psgi",
            "user": "catalyst_user",
            "group": "catalyst_group"
        }
    }
}

The script should point to your app's .psgi file; user and group should have appropriate access rights.

After a successful reconfiguration, you can manage your Catalyst app via the same config API.

Note: make sure the app's .psgi file includes the lib/ directory:

use lib 'lib';
use myapp;
