Deploying a non-Rails app alongside Rails with Kamal

question 1 connections

Audience question: on a VM that already runs a Rails app with Kamal, can you deploy another non-Rails service and have Kamal Proxy route to it on a different port? Strzibny: yes — Kamal isn't Rails-specific, same setup. If Kamal's CLI doesn't expose a capability you need, Kamal Proxy itself sometimes accepts lower-level commands you can invoke directly (analogous to how he lists managed projects via the proxy).

answer_summary
Yes — Kamal isn't Rails-specific. If a capability isn't in Kamal's CLI, you can often drive Kamal Proxy directly for the feature you need.
