Thin
Tiny, fast & funny HTTP server
Thin is a Ruby web server that glues together 3 of the best Ruby libraries in web history:
* the Mongrel parser: the root of Mongrel speed and security
* Event Machine: a network I/O library with extremely high scalability, performance and stability
* Rack: a minimal interface between webservers and Ruby frameworks
Which makes it, with all humility, the most secure, stable, fast and extensible Ruby web server bundled in an easy to use gem for your own pleasure.
Installation
For the latest stable version:
sudo gem install thin
or using my mirror (might be more recent and unstable):
sudo gem install thin --source http://code.macournoyer.com
Or from source:
git clone git://github.com/macournoyer/thin.git
cd thin
rake install
Usage
A thin
script is offered to easily start your Rails application:
cd to/your/rails/app
thin start
But Thin is also usable through Rack rackup
command. You need to setup a config.ru file and require thin in it:
cat <<EOS
require 'thin'
app = proc do |env|
[
200,
{
'Content-Type' => 'text/html',
'Content-Length' => '2'
},
['hi']
]
end
run app
EOS
rackup -s thin
See example/config.ru for details and rackup -h
