pumactl: How to specify root dir?

[anon987654321]

Is there a way to specify the root dir of my app so I don't have to cd to it first in my startup script?

Thanks!

I notice puma has this option:

--dir DIR                    Change to DIR before starting

Seems like the same answer I gave in #2242 solves this too, pumactl -F app/production_config.rb start seems to work for me. I guess it gets more complicated if you are using Bundler.

Why do you want to avoid cd into your app directory?

I can live with that, thanks!

Just for simplicity I guess. Would look a bit out of place in my startup script as well, but that's just cosmetics.

Specifying the full path to the config file and having Puma automatically find everything else does not work here:

/root# pumactl --config-file /var/www/htdocs/myapp/config/puma.rb start
Puma starting in single mode...
* Version 4.3.3 (ruby 2.6.6-p146), codename: Mysterious Traveller

Use Ctrl-C to stop

I also tried adding dir to the config but to no avail:

undefined method `dir' for #<Puma::DSL:0x000007e3a21617e0>
