I'm working a Rails application ran into some problems with a 502 error when I tried to go to our staging site. This thread had the answer I needed by adding to puma.rb:
application_path = '/home/deploy/hotel-automata/shared'
bind "unix://#{application_path}/sockets/puma.socket"
I was also able to start the server in development by running foreman start -p 3000. The question I have is how does this not throw an error? The application_path I have definitely doesn't exist in my local computer and running bundle exec puma or bundle exec rails server threw an error on file not found. Is this something that's specific to foreman or am I missing something? I looked around for a while but couldn't find anything related to this.
Also, is this the best way to do this? I feel that using an exact path might not be the best way here but I'm not sure what else I should do. Any suggestions on this point would be much appreciated too.
Also, here's my Procfile:
web: bundle exec rails server
redis: redis-server
sidekiq: bundle exec sidekiq
