-h2(#set_up). Set up Web servers
-
-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><a href="https://www.phusionpassenger.com/library/walkthroughs/deploy/ruby/ownserver/nginx/oss/install_passenger_main.html">Install Nginx and Phusion Passenger</a>.</li>
-
-<li><p>Install runit to supervise the Puma daemon. {% include 'install_runit' %}<notextile></p></li>
+h3(#enable_legacy_jobs_api). enable_legacy_jobs_api
-<li><p>Install the script below as the run script for the Puma service, modifying it as directed by the comments.</p>
+Enable the legacy "Jobs API":install-crunch-dispatch.html . Note: new installations should use the "Containers API":crunch2-slurm/install-prerequisites.html
-<pre><code>#!/bin/bash
+Disabling the jobs API means methods involving @jobs@, @job_tasks@, @pipeline_templates@ and @pipeline_instances@ are disabled. This functionality is superceded by the containers API which consists of @container_requests@, @containers@ and @workflows@. Arvados clients (such as @arvados-cwl-runner@) detect which APIs are available and adjust behavior accordingly.
-set -e
-exec 2>&1
+* auto -- (default) enable the Jobs API only if it has been used before (i.e., there are job records in the database), otherwise disable jobs API .
+* true -- enable the Jobs API even if there are no existing job records.
+* false -- disable the Jobs API even in the presence of existing job records.
-# 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"
+h2(#set_up). Set up Nginx and Passenger
-cd /var/www/arvados-api/current
-echo "Starting puma in `pwd`"
+The Nginx server will serve API requests using Passenger. It will also be used to proxy SSL requests to other services which are covered later in this guide.
-# Change arguments below to match your deployment, "webserver-user" and
-# "webserver-group" should be changed to the user and group of the web server
-# process. This is typically "www-data:www-data" on Debian systems by default,
-# other systems may use different defaults such the name of the web server
-# software (for example, "nginx:nginx").
