conneting to a running instance of twemproxy and running the web interface on port 22122

$ nutcracker-web --config /etc/nutcracker/cluster.yml --port 22122

launching twemproxy and nutcracker-web

$ nutcracker-web --config example-cluster.yml --port 22122 --launch

if you use ElastiCache you will need to specify maxmemory for each node in your cluster

$ nutcracker-web --config example-cluster.yml --port 22122 --launch --max-memory 674963865666

Usage via code

After starting the twemproxy service via nutcracker-ruby just activate the nutcracker-web plugin:

require 'nutcracker'
require 'nutcracker/web'

# Start nutcracker
nutcracker = Nutcracker.start config_file: 'cluster.conf'

# Start the web service on port 1234 using Webrick
nutcracker.use :web, Port: 1234

# Sleeping....
nutcracker.join

you can pass default Rack options to Nutcracker#use ( like :Host, :server etc)

Custom Webserver

to use a different webserver like thin

require 'nutcracker'
require 'nutcracker/web'
require 'thin'

nutcracker = Nutcracker.start config_file: 'cluster.conf'
nutcracker.use :web, Port: 1234, server: :thin
nutcracker.join

Gotchas

• redis.conf : don't forget to configure the maxmemory attribute for each Redis instance

Developer ?

to run nutcracker-web with stub data

• bundle install
• run the rackup command to start the service.
• edit example.json.
• client Backbone app is under assets and the Sinatra backend is under the lib directory.

Packaging & Testing

• rake compile : compile the assets into a single application.{js,css} file under the public directory
• rake build : compile the assets & builds a new gem
• rake test : runs the jasmine tests suite
