It would be nice to use custom domains like <code>awesome-rails-app.test</code> . Even better if we can use https so it could be accessed using <a href="https://awesome-app.tesst">https://awesome-rails-app.test</a> . in this case <strong>puma-dev</strong> can help you.</p> <h2> Installation </h2> <p>I will describe the installation for macOS, for Linux you can use <a href="https://github.com/puma/puma-dev#linux-support">https://github.com/puma/puma-dev#linux-support</a>.</p> <p>Add puma in the Gemfile.<br> </p> <div class="highlight js-code-highlight"> <pre class="highlight ruby"><code><span class="c1"># Gemfile</span> <span class="n">gem</span> <span class="s1">'puma'</span> </code></pre> </div> <p>Install Puma-dev using Homebrew.<br> </p> <div class="highlight js-code-highlight"> <pre class="highlight shell"><code>brew <span class="nb">install </span>puma/puma/puma-dev </code></pre> </div> <h2> Setup </h2> <p>Next we need to configure some DNS settings and Configure puma-dev to run in the background. By default it uses the domain <code>.test</code><br> </p> <div class="highlight js-code-highlight"> <pre class="highlight shell"><code><span class="nb">sudo </span>puma-dev <span class="nt">-setup</span> puma-dev <span class="nt">-install</span> </code></pre> </div> <h2> Usage </h2> <p>Symlink you app's folder into <code>~/.puma-dev</code> .</p> <p>Also you can use <code>puma-dev link</code>.<br> </p> <div class="highlight js-code-highlight"> <pre class="highlight ruby"><code><span class="n">cd</span> <span class="n">awesome</span><span class="o">-</span><span class="n">rails</span><span class="o">-</span><span class="n">app</span> <span class="n">puma</span><span class="o">-</span><span class="n">dev</span> <span class="n">link</span> <span class="o">-</span><span class="n">n</span> <span class="n">awesome</span><span class="o">-</span><span class="n">rails</span><span class="o">-</span><span class="n">app</span> <span class="o">.</span> </code></pre> </div> <p>Now access to the URL: <a href="https://awesome-rails-app.test">https://awesome-rails-app.test</a> </p> <p>That's it!</p> <h3> Restart </h3> <p>Just <code>touch tmp/restart</code> inside your Rails project.</p> <h3> Stop </h3> <p>These will stop all the apps added into <code>~/.puma-dev</code><br> </p> <div class="highlight js-code-highlight"> <pre class="highlight ruby"><code><span class="n">puma</span><span class="o">-</span><span class="n">dev</span> <span class="o">-</span><span class="n">stop</span> </code></pre> </div> <h2> Bonus - Debugging using Rubymine </h2> <p>If you use Rubymine as your IDE you can debug your app simply by pressing <code>Option + Shift + F5</code> to attach to the puma-dev process.
