A lightweight high performance http server

julia Build Status

中文

A small yet high performance http server and reverse proxy. You may view it as a tiny nginx.

ENVIRONMENT

  • gcc 5.4.0
  • linux 4.4.0

DEPENDENCY

INSTALL

  $ git submodule update --remote --recursive
  $ cd src && make all
  $ make install # root required

RUN

$ julia # roo required, default listening at 8000

You may modify the config file to specify the port if there is a confliction.

DEBUG

As julia run as a daemon, it is not convenient to debug. Follow the steps:

  1. change the INSTALL_DIR in Makefile to your local repo, like:
INSTALL_DIR = /home/foo/julia/ # the last slash required
  1. turn on the debug instruction in config.json
"debug": true,

EXCITING

Making a http server and host your site is not extremely cool? Then, what if your server is compiled by your own compiler?

Yes, i wrote a C11 compiler(let me call it wgtcc). It compiles julia, and the site runs well. :) You can install wgtcc, then compile julia:

  $ make CC=wgtcc all

It surprised me that the server compiled by wgtcc runs extremely fast!

have fun :)

julia 是一个短小精悍的高并发http服务器和反向代理。你可以将他想象成tiny nginx。我用它搭了博客。静态文件由julia serve, 动态内容pass到后端的uwsgi(类似于fpm)。

安装 调试 请参照上方。

最酷的是,这个服务器,包括正在运行的博客,都是我自己写的C编译器编译的。如果你对编译器也感兴趣,可以看这里。按照其readme安装wgtcc后,你可以这样编译julia:

  $ make CC=wgtcc all

have fun :)
