anyone knows about pow alternative in ubuntu or win7

Question

Lately I was configuring a rails project, other developers are in mac OS X and they were using pow [pow.cx]. but I dont have mac but I do have win7 and ubuntu, So some one plz advice me how can I configure it in win7 or in ubuntu. Can I do it using some DNS servers.

Answer 1

A Linux fork for pow is there which you can use here

Hoof is another alternative.

I found Phusion Passenger interesting too.

Answer 2

Hoof is no longer maintained, use prax

Answer 3

http://invoker.codemancers.com/ invoker needs a gem and a Procfile, that's it.

Answer 4

We use Puma-Dev and are really happy with it.

(Linux support exists but have only tested it on OSX)
