Mojo::Server::Hypnotoad - ALL GLORY TO THE HYPNOTOAD!
use Mojo::Server::Hypnotoad; my $toad = Mojo::Server::Hypnotoad->new; $toad->run('./myapp.pl');
Mojo::Server::Hypnotoad is a full featured UNIX optimized preforking non-blocking I/O HTTP 1.1 and WebSocket server built around the very well tested and reliable Mojo::Server::Daemon with IPv6, TLS, libev and hot deployment support that just works.
IPv6
TLS
libev
To start applications with it you can use the hypnotoad script.
$ hypnotoad myapp.pl Server available at http://127.0.0.1:8080.
You can run the exact same command again for automatic hot deployment.
$ hypnotoad myapp.pl Starting hot deployment for Hypnotoad server 31841.
For Mojolicious and Mojolicious::Lite applications it will default to production mode.
production
Optional modules EV (4.0+), IO::Socket::IP (0.16+) and IO::Socket::SSL (1.75+) are supported transparently and used if installed. Individual features can also be disabled with the MOJO_NO_IPV6 and MOJO_NO_TLS environment variables.
MOJO_NO_IPV6
MOJO_NO_TLS
See Mojolicious::Guides::Cookbook for more.
Mojo::Server::Hypnotoad can be controlled at runtime with the following signals.
INT
TERM
Shutdown server immediately.
QUIT
Shutdown server gracefully.
TTIN
Increase worker pool by one.
TTOU
Decrease worker pool by one.
USR2
Attempt zero downtime software upgrade (hot deployment) without losing any incoming connections.
Manager (old) |- Worker [1] |- Worker [2] |- Worker [3] |- Worker [4] +- Manager (new) |- Worker [1] |- Worker [2] |- Worker [3] +- Worker [4]
The new manager will automatically send a QUIT signal to the old manager and take over serving requests after starting up successfully.
Stop worker immediately.
Stop worker gracefully.
Mojo::Server::Hypnotoad can be configured with the following settings, see "Hypnotoad" in Mojolicious::Guides::Cookbook for examples.
accepts
accepts => 100
Maximum number of connections a worker is allowed to accept before stopping gracefully, defaults to 1000. Setting the value to 0 will allow workers to accept new connections indefinitely. Note that half of this value can be subtracted randomly to improve load balancing, and that worker processes will stop sending heartbeat messages once the limit has been reached.
1000
0
backlog
backlog => 128
Listen backlog size, defaults to SOMAXCONN.
SOMAXCONN
clients
clients => 100
Maximum number of parallel client connections per worker process, defaults to 1000. Note that depending on how much your application may block, you might want to decrease this value and increase workers instead for better performance.
workers
graceful_timeout
graceful_timeout => 15
Maximum amount of time in seconds stopping a worker gracefully may take before being forced, defaults to 20.
20
group
group => 'staff'
Group name for worker processes.
heartbeat_interval
heartbeat_interval => 3
Heartbeat interval in seconds, defaults to 5.
5
heartbeat_timeout
heartbeat_timeout => 2
Maximum amount of time in seconds before a worker without a heartbeat will be stopped gracefully, defaults to 20.
inactivity_timeout
inactivity_timeout => 10
Maximum amount of time in seconds a connection can be inactive before getting closed, defaults to 15. Setting the value to 0 will allow connections to be inactive indefinitely.
15
keep_alive_requests
keep_alive_requests => 50
Number of keep alive requests per connection, defaults to 25.
25
listen
listen => ['http://*:80']
List of one or more locations to listen on, defaults to http://*:8080. See also "listen" in Mojo::Server::Daemon for more examples.
http://*:8080
lock_file
lock_file => '/tmp/hypnotoad.lock'
Full path of accept mutex lock file prefix, to which the process id will be appended, defaults to a random temporary path.
lock_timeout
lock_timeout => 1
Maximum amount of time in seconds a worker may block when waiting for the accept mutex, defaults to 0.5.
0.5
pid_file
pid_file => '/var/run/hypnotoad.pid'
Full path to process id file, defaults to hypnotoad.pid in the same directory as the application. Note that this value can only be changed after the server has been stopped.
hypnotoad.pid
proxy
proxy => 1
Activate reverse proxy support, defaults to the value of the MOJO_REVERSE_PROXY environment variable.
MOJO_REVERSE_PROXY
upgrade_timeout
upgrade_timeout => 45
Maximum amount of time in seconds a zero downtime software upgrade may take before getting canceled, defaults to 60.
60
user
user => 'sri'
Username for worker processes.
workers => 10
Number of worker processes, defaults to 4. A good rule of thumb is two worker processes per cpu core.
