Fwd: Suggested 'server' for hosting clojure web app

[Ravindra Jaju]

Hi all.

I meant to send this mail here, but sent it to another one by mistake. Posting here again.

[To: clo...@googlegroups.com]

I want to deploy a small web app - serving mostly static content. I'm using Luminus (http://www.luminusweb.net/) - which is quite neat in the way it builds itself from well-known components.

I'm having trouble deciding how to deploy it. I want some automation while deploying upgrades, and would like it to be light-weight. Jetty, http-kit, or immutant?

(I tried immutant - but it seems to be taking up too much memory for my comfort, on my modest server.)

Jetty and http-kit - I would like to hear about how I can deploy them as nice system daemons, with monitoring etc. so that they can be brought up automatically if something goes wrong. I'm also unable to find out how I can do a re-deploy without restarting.

Any help or pointers appreciated!

Thanks,
jaju

Not sure what's the defacto for java daemons but supervisord is a decent tool for starting, monitoring processes and restarting them if they go down and so on.

One simple re-deploy strategy would be copy/git-pull latest code and just kill(term) the running app server and supervisord will bring it right back up(if configured for autorestart).

Some pointers. Let me know which one worked, haven't tried any :)

Here is another excellent trick for zero downtime restarts -
