Customizing the web server stack

The default install of Webtrisul comes with 5 instances of thin servers with a nginx reverse proxy. This should be sufficient for many sites, but you can increase the number of servers if

  • you experience sluggishness
  • if you have many simultaneous users

How to increase the number of backend thin servers​

The configuration files are stored in /usr/local/share/webtrisul/build

Make the following changes in these files

nginx.confAdd names of additional servers sequentially in the upstream thin_cluster section. Counting starts at 0.
thin-nginxd.confUpdate the NO_OF_SERVERS to what you want
thin-config.ymlUpdate the variable servers to match in other files.
