Struct Server

pub struct Server {
    pub configuration: Arc<ServerConf>,
    pub options: Option<Opt>,
    /* private fields */
}

The server object

This object represents an entire pingora server process which may have multiple independent services (see crate::services). The server object handles signals, reading configuration, zero downtime upgrade and error reporting.

Fields

configuration: Arc<ServerConf>

The parsed server configuration

options: Option<Opt>

The parser command line options

Implementations

impl Server

pub fn new_with_opt_and_conf( raw_opt: impl Into<Option<Opt>>, conf: ServerConf, ) -> Server

Create a new Server, using the Opt and ServerConf values provided

This method is intended for pingora frontends that are NOT using the built-in command line and configuration file parsing, and are instead using their own.

If a configuration file path is provided as part of opt, it will be ignored and a warning will be logged.

pub fn new(opt: impl Into<Option<Opt>>) -> Result<Server>

Create a new Server.

Only one Server needs to be created for a process. A Server can hold multiple independent services.

Command line options can either be passed by parsing the command line arguments via Opt::parse_args(), or be generated by other means.

pub fn add_service(&mut self, service: impl Service + 'static)

Add a service to this server.

A service is anything that implements Service.

pub fn add_services(&mut self, services: Vec<Box<dyn Service>>)

Similar to Self::add_service(), but take a list of services

pub fn bootstrap(&mut self)

Prepare the server to start

When trying to zero downtime upgrade from an older version of the server which is already running, this function will try to get all its listening sockets in order to take them over.

pub fn run_forever(self) -> !

Start the server

This function will block forever until the server needs to quit. So this would be the last function to call for this object.

Note: this function may fork the process for daemonization, so any additional threads created before this function will be lost to any service logic once this function is called.
