Thin
A small and fast Ruby web server
Installation
gem install thin
Or add thin
to your Gemfile
:
gem 'thin'
Usage
A +thin+ script offers an easy way to start your Rack application:
thin start
Browse the example
directory for sample applications.
CLI
Use a rackup (config.ru) file and bind to localhost port 8080:
thin -R config.ru -a 127.0.0.1 -p 8080 start
Store the server process ID, log to a file and daemonize:
thin -p 9292 -P tmp/pids/thin.pid -l logs/thin.log -d start
Thin is quite flexible in that many options can be specified at the command line (see thin -h
for more).
Configuration files
You can create a configuration file using thin config -C config/thin.yml
.
You can then use it with all commands, such as: thin start -C config/thin.yml
.
