Configure Ruby on TurboStack

Enable the per-user Ruby runtime, set a startup command, and optionally run Sidekiq background jobs on TurboStack.

Enable the Ruby runtime on an application, choose its version, and optionally add a startup command and Sidekiq background workers.

Where to configure it

The Ruby runtime is configured per application. In the TurboStack Platform, open an application and go to Configure application > Technologies > Ruby. From there you enable Ruby, select the version, and set how the application starts.

Ruby applications are published with the Nginx reverse proxy: your app listens on a local port and Nginx forwards public traffic to it. See Configure the reverse proxy for that part.
