I followed the 401-ActionController-Live Railscast and this Blog Post about Server-Sent-Events
to set up something similar in my Rails app. It works perfectly when I open connections to the server when only using puma
but with puma + nginx
, the connection closes after the first chunk of data is sent.
I also tried following the solutions provided in these questions but they didn't work for me:
- ActionController::Live Streaming dies after first chunk sent
- EventSource / Server-Sent Events through Nginx
This is what I'm getting:
This is How I set up my Server and this is my current nginx
configuration:
upstream puma {
server unix:///home/deploy/apps/outy/shared/tmp/sockets/outy-puma.sock;
keepalive 16;
}
server {
listen 80 default_server deferred;
root /home/deploy/apps/outy/current/public;
access_log /home/deploy/apps/outy/current/log/nginx.access.log;
error_log /home/deploy/apps/outy/current/log/nginx.error.log info;
location ^~ /assets/ {
gzip_static on;
expires max;
add_header Cache-Control public;
}
try_files $uri/index.html $uri @puma;
location @puma {
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
proxy_redirect off;
proxy_pass http://puma;
proxy_http_version 1.1;
proxy_set_header Connection "";
proxy_buffering off;
proxy_cache off;
}
error_page 500 502 503 504 /500.html;
client_max_body_size 10M;
keepalive_timeout 10;
}
I will share configuration that worked.
nginx

server unix:/var/tmp/sockets/puma.sock
