# Some notes about unicorn

First off, it only servers the rails application, not the static assets.
You need to have another webserver for this.

## SECRET_KEY

By default rails reads the secret key from the environment variable
`SECRET_KEY_BASE`. It is possible to create a key with `rake secret`

## Start unicorn

	SECRET_KEY_BASE="fa27f9d1cdfeb8590377366cb89c973b6084a20b60a4e60b551563cb1119156a0f172212f54fc096e182bf5310b6ca8cb050814c5908c8523cb191d1a054ca29" bundle exec unicorn -c config/unicorn.rb -E production

## Precompile assets

	RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rake assets:precompile
