2009-03-17Allow binding to UNIX sockets relative to "~"
This is to be consistent with the existing "pid" and std{err,out}_path options which also take paths relative to "~"
2009-02-21revamp configuration with Configurator DSL
The Configurator includes error checking and opens the way for better reloading/error-checking abilities. This also renames many of the config settings with something nginx-like to minimize the learning/setup curve since nginx is the only recommended reverse-proxy for this. s/pid_file/pid/ => blech!, more confusing :< s/listen_backlog/backlog/ => maybe more confusing to some, or less... s/nr_workers/worker_processes/ => less confusing to non-AWKers for sure s/hot_config_file/config_file/ => the config file is now general purpose, not just hot reloads
2009-02-21socket: make bind_listen idempotent, really
2009-02-09SocketHelper: unlink UNIX sockets if they exist
We may have stale UNIX sockets leftover since we don't clean those up at_exit. So unlink them if we didn't inherit one.
2009-02-09factor out FD_CLOEXEC into SocketHelper module
We'll be using this flag with a pipe, too.
2009-02-09Refactor and get exec + FD inheritance working
Along with worker process management. This is nginx-style inplace upgrading (I don't know of another web server that does this). Basically we can preserve our opened listen sockets across entire executable upgrades. Signals: USR2 - Sending USR2 to the master unicorn process will cause it to exec a new master and keep the original workers running. This is useful to validate that the new code changes took place are valid and don't immediately die. Once the changes are validated (manually), you may send QUIT to the original master process to have it gracefully exit. HUP - Sending this to the master will make it immediately exec a new binary and cause the old workers to gracefully exit. Use this if you're certain the latest changes to Unicorn (and your app) are ready and don't need validating. Unlike nginx, re-execing a new binary will pick up any and all configuration changes. However listener sockets cannot be removed when exec-ing; only added (for now). I apologize for making such a big change in one commit, but once I got the ability to replace the entire codebase while preserving connections, it was too tempting to continue working. So I wrote a large chunk of this while hitting the unicorn-hello-world app with the following loop: while curl -vSsfN http://0:8080; do date +%N; done _Zero_ requests lost across multiple restarts.
2009-02-09Use read(2) and blocking I/O for clients
Unicorn is only designed for fast internal networks (and loopback); so avoid wasting time with userspace I/O buffering. This should not significantly affect userspace threading on 1.8 in case your application itself is running threads for some (masochistic) reason as long as the clients you're serving directly with Unicorn are fast.
2009-02-09socket: temporary UNIX sockets use ".#{$$}.tmp"
Instead of ".#{$$}" as the suffix. This makes it clearer that it's a temporary name and also so we can use per-process sockets to make debugging easier.
2009-02-09Internally supporting binding to UNIX domain sockets
Additionally, provide Socket#unicorn_addr which makes it easy to determine whether a given Socket matches one in the config.
2009-02-09Move portability and override Socket stuff to unicorn/socket
We'll be supporting UNIX domain sockets soon... Get rid of tcphack since it was overriding a default method and just manually call Socket.new, bind, listen ourselves. Additionaly, use SO_REUSEADDR when binding since it is convenient for restarts.
