Tube Web Server

A scalable synchronous server using pipeline architecture. The pipeline architecture resemble the design of Glassfish Application Server.

Tube Web Server aims to be a scalable, flexible, extensible Web Server. It was designed to make developers writing web logic within the Web Server as easy as possible, and at the same time, reaching fair performance and scalability.

Platform Support

Currently, Tube Web Server is under heavy developments. The primary platform to support is Linux 2.6. FreeBSD 6+ and Solaris 10+ are also supported, but under heavy developments currently.

Build

The Tube Web Server is written in C/C++. To build Tube Web Server, you'll need the following tools and libraries installed.

SCons > 2.0. available at http://www.scons.org/
boost library with the following component:
- boost::thread
- boost::function
- boost::smart_ptr
- boost::xpressive
yaml-cpp
ragel available at http://www.complang.org/ragel/

To Build Tube, simply run

% scons

If you want the release version (which doesn't have log and debug symbol)

% scons release=1

After building process succeeded, run the following to install

# scons install

If you want to install in a sandbox directory (or DESTDIR in automake terminology), use

% scons install --install-sandbox=<dir>

Usage

After installation, you should be able to use tube-server. Make sure that tube-server is in your PATH and libtube.so and libtube-web.so are able to load by system.

tube-server -c config_file [ -m module_path -u uid]

config_file is the configuration file. This is required.
module_path is the path containing all the modules. This is optional.
uid is the uid if you want tube switch uid before launch. This is optional

There's a sample config file in test/test-yaml.conf.
