This plugin only works for :web role #86

Hi,

Is there a specific reason why it should only work on :web role? I have RESTful API servers which I want to use this plugin for and I just learned that nginx:setup task only works on :web role.

Thanks,

You can assign your servers multiple roles. By making it possible to separate the web and app role, this gem gives you the flexibility to setup your cluster in the way you want.

Hi @rhomeister, I do understand that. We are running a system composed of API servers, web servers for dashboard, workers, etc. I use :web role for our web servers for dashboard only and :app role for API servers to manage efficiently. For example, API servers do not need to precompile assets. In order to use this plugin I have to break this policy. Is there a better way to do this? I will appreciate your advice.

Thanks,

Hi @nextofsearch,

That's a tricky situation. I'm sure it can be solved somehow, but I can't give you any concrete pointers without digging deeper. By the way, if asset precompilation is the problem, maybe you can turn this off for the app role in the gem that you use for assets?

Cheers

Hi, @rhomeister,

I guess turning if off is the only solution for now. It would be nice if this plugin supports a custom role.

Thanks,
