.IX Header "DEPLOYMENT"
Getting Mojolicious and Mojolicious::Lite applications running on
different platforms. Note that many real-time web features are based on the
Mojo::IOLoop reactor, and therefore require one of the built-in web servers
to be able to use them to their full potential.
.SS "Built-in web server"
.IX Subsection "Built-in web server"
Mojolicious contains a very portable non-blocking I/O \s-1HTTP\s0 1.1 and
WebSocket server with Mojo::Server::Daemon. It is usually used during
development and in the construction of more advanced web servers, but is solid
and fast enough for small to mid sized applications.
.PP
.Vb 2
\& $ ./script/myapp daemon
\& Server available at http://127.0.0.1:3000.
.Ve
.PP
It has many configuration options and is known to work on every platform Perl
works on.
.PP
.Vb 2
\& $ ./script/myapp daemon \-h
\& ...List of available options...
.Ve
.PP
Another huge advantage is that it supports \s-1TLS\s0 and WebSockets out of the box.
.PP
.Vb 2
\& $ ./script/myapp daemon \-l https://*:3000
\& Server available at https://127.0.0.1:3000.
.Ve
.PP
A development certificate for testing purposes is built right in, so it just
works.
.SS "Morbo"
.IX Subsection "Morbo"
After reading the Mojolicious::Lite tutorial, you should already be
familiar with Mojo::Server::Morbo.
.PP
.Vb 2
\& Mojo::Server::Morbo
\& +\- Mojo::Server::Daemon
.Ve
.PP
It is basically a restarter that forks a new Mojo::Server::Daemon web
server whenever a file in your project changes, and should therefore only be
used during development.
.PP
.Vb 2
\& $ morbo script/myapp
\& Server available at http://127.0.0.1:3000.

.SS "Hypnotoad"
.IX Subsection "Hypnotoad"
For bigger applications Mojolicious contains the \s-1UNIX\s0 optimized preforking
web server Mojo::Server::Hypnotoad that will allow you to take advantage of
multiple cpu cores and copy-on-write.
.PP
.Vb 5

\& |\- Mojo::Server::Daemon [1]
\& |\- Mojo::Server::Daemon [2]
\& |\- Mojo::Server::Daemon [3]

.PP
It is also based on the Mojo::Server::Daemon web server, but optimized
specifically for production environments out of the box.
.PP
.Vb 2
\& $ hypnotoad script/myapp
\& Server available at http://127.0.0.1:8080.
.Ve
.PP
You can tweak many configuration settings right from within your application,
for a full list see \*(L"\s-1SETTINGS\s0\*(R" in Mojo::Server::Hypnotoad.
.PP
.Vb 1
\& use Mojolicious::Lite;
\&
\& app\->config(hypnotoad => {listen => [\*(Aqhttp://*:3000\*(Aq]});
\&
\& get \*(Aq/\*(Aq => {text => \*(AqALL GLORY TO THE HYPNOTOAD!\*(Aq};
\&
\& app\->start;
.Ve
.PP
Or just add a \f(CW\*(C`hypnotoad\*(C'\fR section to your Mojolicious::Plugin::Config or
Mojolicious::Config::JSONConfig configuration file.
.PP
.Vb 2
\& # myapp.conf
\& {hypnotoad => {listen => [\*(Aqhttp://*:80\*(Aq], workers => 10}};
.Ve
.PP
Or change the application configuration directly.
.PP
But one of its biggest advantages is the support for effortless zero downtime
software upgrades. That means you can upgrade Mojolicious, Perl or even
system libraries at runtime without ever stopping the server or losing a
single incoming connection, just by running the command above again.
.PP
.Vb 2
\& $ hypnotoad script/myapp
\& Starting hot deployment for Hypnotoad server 31841.
.Ve
.PP
You might also want to enable proxy support if you're using Hypnotoad behind a
reverse proxy. This allows Mojolicious to automatically pick up the
\&\f(CW\*(C`X\-Forwarded\-For\*(C'\fR and \f(CW\*(C`X\-Forwarded\-HTTPS\*(C'\fR headers.
.PP
.Vb 2
\& # myapp.conf

.SS "Nginx"

One of the most popular setups these days is the built-in web server behind a
Nginx reverse proxy.

\& }
.Ve
.SS "Apache/mod_proxy"

Another good reverse proxy is Apache with \f(CW\*(C`mod_proxy\*(C'\fR, the configuration
looks very similar to the Nginx one above.

.SS "PSGI/Plack"
.IX Subsection "PSGI/Plack"
\&\s-1PSGI\s0 is an interface between Perl web frameworks and web servers, and
Plack is a Perl module and toolkit that contains \s-1PSGI\s0 middleware,
helpers and adapters to web servers. \s-1PSGI\s0 and Plack are inspired by
Python's \s-1WSGI\s0 and Ruby's Rack. Mojolicious applications are ridiculously
simple to deploy with Plack.
.PP
.Vb 2
\& $ plackup ./script/myapp
\& HTTP::Server::PSGI: Accepting connections at http://0:5000/
.Ve
.PP
Plack provides many server and protocol adapters for you to choose from
such as \f(CW\*(C`FCGI\*(C'\fR, \f(CW\*(C`SCGI\*(C'\fR and \f(CW\*(C`mod_perl\*(C'\fR. Make sure to run \f(CW\*(C`plackup\*(C'\fR from
your applications home directory, otherwise libraries might not be found.
.PP
.Vb 1
\& $ plackup ./script/myapp \-s FCGI \-l /tmp/myapp.sock
.Ve
.PP
Because of the way \f(CW\*(C`plackup\*(C'\fR loads your script, Mojolicious is not always
able to detect the applications home directory, if that's the case you can
simply use the \f(CW\*(C`MOJO_HOME\*(C'\fR environment variable. Also note that
\&\f(CW\*(C`app\->start\*(C'\fR needs to be the last Perl statement in the application
script for the same reason.
.PP
.Vb 2
\& $ MOJO_HOME=/home/sri/myapp plackup ./script/myapp
\& HTTP::Server::PSGI: Accepting connections at http://0:5000/
.Ve
.PP
Some server adapters might ask for a \f(CW\*(C`.psgi\*(C'\fR file, if that's the case you can
just point them at your application script because it will automatically act
like one if it detects the presence of a \f(CW\*(C`PLACK_ENV\*(C'\fR environment variable.
.SS "Plack middleware"
.IX Subsection "Plack middleware"
Wrapper scripts like \f(CW\*(C`myapp.fcgi\*(C'\fR are a great way to separate deployment and
application logic.
.PP
.Vb 2
\& #!/usr/bin/env plackup \-s FCGI
\& use Plack::Builder;
\&
\& builder {
\& enable \*(AqDeflater\*(Aq;
\& require \*(Aqmyapp.pl\*(Aq;

.Ve
.PP
But you could even use middleware right in your application.
.PP
.Vb 2
\& use Mojolicious::Lite;
\& use Plack::Builder;
\&
\& get \*(Aq/welcome\*(Aq => sub {
\& my $self = shift;

\& };
\&
\& builder {
\& enable \*(AqDeflater\*(Aq;
\& app\->start;
\& };
.Ve
.SS "Rewriting"
.IX Subsection "Rewriting"
Sometimes you might have to deploy your application in a blackbox environment
where you can't just change the server configuration or behind a reverse proxy
that passes along additional information with \f(CW\*(C`X\-*\*(C'\fR headers. In such cases
you can use a \f(CW\*(C`before_dispatch\*(C'\fR hook to rewrite incoming requests.
.PP
.Vb 6
\& # Change scheme if "X\-Forwarded\-Protocol" header is set to "https"
\& app\->hook(before_dispatch => sub {
\& my $self = shift;
\& $self\->req\->url\->base\->scheme(\*(Aqhttps\*(Aq)
\& if $self\->req\->headers\->header(\*(AqX\-Forwarded\-Protocol\*(Aq) eq \*(Aqhttps\*(Aq;
\& });
.Ve
.PP
Since reverse proxies generally don't pass along information about path
prefixes your application might be deployed under, rewriting the base path of
incoming requests is also quite common.
.PP
.Vb 6
\& # Move first part from path to base path in production mode
\& app\->hook(before_dispatch => sub {
\& my $self = shift;
\& push @{$self\->req\->url\->base\->path\->parts},
\& shift @{$self\->req\->url\->path\->parts};
\& }) if app\->mode eq \*(Aqproduction\*(Aq;
.Ve
.SS "Application embedding"
.IX Subsection "Application embedding"
From time to time you might want to reuse parts of Mojolicious applications
like configuration files, database connection or helpers for other scripts,
with this little mock server you can just embed them.
.PP
.Vb 1
\& use Mojo::Server;
\&
\& # Load application with mock server
\& my $server = Mojo::Server\->new;
\& my $app = $server\->load_app(\*(Aq./myapp.pl\*(Aq);

You can also use the built-in web server to embed Mojolicious applications
into alien environments like foreign event loops.

.SH "REAL-TIME WEB"
.IX Header "REAL-TIME WEB"
The real-time web is a collection of technologies that include Comet
(long-polling), EventSource and WebSockets, which allow content to be pushed
to consumers with long-lived connections as soon as it is generated, instead
of relying on the more traditional pull model. All built-in web servers use
non-blocking I/O and are based on the Mojo::IOLoop reactor, which provides
many very powerful features that allow real-time web applications to scale up
to thousands of clients.
.SS "Backend web services"
.IX Subsection "Backend web services"
Since Mojo::UserAgent is also based on the Mojo::IOLoop reactor, it
won't block the built-in web servers when used non-blocking, even for high
latency backend web services.

.SS "Timers"
.IX Subsection "Timers"
Another primary feature of the Mojo::IOLoop reactor are timers, which can
for example be used to delay rendering of a response, and unlike \f(CW\*(C`sleep\*(C'\fR,
won't block any other requests that might be processed in parallel.

Internally the Mojo::IOLoop reactor can use multiple event loop backends,
\&\s-1EV\s0 for example will be automatically used if installed. Which in turn
allows event loops like IO::Async to just work.

Mojo::UserAgent can automatically follow redirects, the event

Mojo::UserAgent has been designed from the ground up to be non-blocking,
the whole blocking \s-1API\s0 is just a simple convenience wrapper. Especially for
high latency tasks like web crawling this can be extremely useful, because you
