Changes in Ruby on Rails, Python uWSGI and Rack project settings
Locum have fixed a vulnerability in the infrastructure of your hosting panel, which could lead to the inability to restart projects based on Ruby on Rails, Python uWSGI and Rack. Unfortunately, as a result of fixing the vulnerability, you need to regenerate the deployment files for the Ruby on Rails and Rack projects yourself.
Locum cannot change these files, as they are part of these projects and are generally not automatically generated or uploaded to the hosting servers from the version control system. That is, one more directory must be added to the path, the name of which matches the name of the hosting system user. If you are using the auto-generated deploy.rb, you need to replace the line.
Analysis of Technical problems
The day before yesterday and yesterday they received a very large number of complaints about the unstable or slow work of projects. The total downtime for two days was about two hours for some of the projects hosted on all hosting servers. Locum main part of the problems was the unstable operation of the mysql0 and postgresql0 database servers, and the second suffered to a much lesser extent.
The reasons for the refusals varied. On February 27, they received a message from monitoring about a sharp surge in load on the Neon server. Finding out the causes of the surge took some time, during which the connection pool to the DBMS was completely occupied and the mysql0 server stopped accepting new connections.

Rvm, Bundler, Capistrano – all these tools make life much easier for the developer and project administrator, but can be pretty confusing. In this article, they will visually show the process of deploying a common project management system Redmine.
