In the previous post I shared advantages of Pow based on my experience, however there is one significant problem: It does not run on Linux :(

Sadly yes, but I’ve seen some alternatives, for example:

Prax

Rack proxy server for development

http://ysbaddaden.github.io/prax/

Invoker

Invoker is a utility belt for managing processes in development environment. Use it for managing multiple processes with ease.

Conclusion

While Prax seems closer to Pow, the Invoker goes far beyond the Pow ideas and allows to manage all kind of processes, however it also adds extra complexities.

Though I don’t know how well those replaces Pow. If you had any experience please let me know how it was.
