On older distributions, you may need to use a backports repository to satisfy these requirements. For example, on older Red Hat-based systems, consider using the "postgresql92":https://www.softwarecollections.org/en/scls/rhscl/postgresql92/ and "nginx16":https://www.softwarecollections.org/en/scls/rhscl/nginx16/ Software Collections.
On a Debian-based system, install the following packages:
<notextile>
-<pre><code>~$ <span class="userinput">sudo apt-get install bison build-essential libpq-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev postgresql git nginx arvados-api-server</span>
+<pre><code>~$ <span class="userinput">sudo apt-get install bison build-essential libcurl4-openssl-dev git nginx arvados-api-server</span>

On a Red Hat-based system, install the following packages:
<notextile>
-<pre><code>~$ <span class="userinput">sudo yum install bison make automake gcc gcc-c++ libcurl-devel postgresql-server postgresql-devel nginx git arvados-api-server</span>

h2. Set up Web servers
-{% include 'install_nginx_apiserver' %}
+For best performance, we recommend you use Nginx as your Web server front-end, with a Passenger backend for the main API server and a Puma backend for API server Websockets. To do that:
+
+<notextile>
+<ol>
+<li>Install Nginx via your distribution or a backports repository.</li>
+
+<li><a href="https://www.phusionpassenger.com/documentation/Users%20guide%20Nginx.html">Install Phusion Passenger for Nginx</a>.</li>
+
+<li><p>Puma is already included with the API server's gems. We recommend you use a tool like <a href="http://smarden.org/runit/">runit</a> or something similar. Here's a sample run script for that:</p>
+
+<pre><code>#!/bin/bash
+
+set -e
+exec 2>&1
+
+# Uncomment the line below if you're using RVM.
+#source /etc/profile.d/rvm.sh
+
+envdir="`pwd`/env"
+mkdir -p "$envdir"
+echo ws-only > "$envdir/ARVADOS_WEBSOCKETS"
+
+cd /var/www/arvados-api/current
+echo "Starting puma in `pwd`"
+
+# You may need to change arguments below to match your deployment, especially -u.
+exec chpst -m 1073741824 -u www-data:www-data -e "$envdir" \
+ bundle exec puma -t 0:512 -e production -b tcp://127.0.0.1:8100
+</code></pre>
+</li>
+
+<li><p>Edit the http section of your Nginx configuration to run the Passenger server, and act as a front-end for both it and Puma. You might add a block like the following, adding SSL and logging parameters to taste:</p>
+
+<pre><code>server {
+ listen 127.0.0.1:8000;
+ server_name localhost-api;
+
+ root /var/www/arvados-api/current/public;

+
+ passenger_enabled on;
+ # If you're using RVM, uncomment the line below.
+ #passenger_ruby /usr/local/rvm/wrappers/default/ruby;
+}
+
+upstream api {
+ server 127.0.0.1:8000 fail_timeout=10s;
+}
+
+upstream websockets {
+ # The address below must match the one specified in puma's -b option.
+ server 127.0.0.1:8100 fail_timeout=10s;
