Requirements
Swift 3.0 preview 2 is required (Xcode 8 beta 2 on macOS).
Works on Ubuntu, Docker, Heroku, macOS.
Run the following script to check if you have Swift 3.0 beta 2 properly installed and configured.
curl -sL check.qutheory.io | bash
Building
Visit Getting Started in the documentation.
Compiling
If you have the Vapor Toolbox, use vapor new <project-name>
to create your new application.
Then run vapor build
and vapor run
.
Otherwise, clone this repo and run swift build
to compile your application, then run .build/debug/App
.
Xcode 8
Run vapor xcode
which will create the Xcode Project and open Xcode 8.
Deploying
Check the Vapor documentation for more in-depth deployment instructions.
Upstart
To start your Vapor
site automatically when the server is booted, add this file to your server.
You can check if Upstart is installed with
initctl --version
You may need to install Upstart if it is not already on your installation of Linux.
sudo apt-get install upstart
/etc/init/vapor-example.conf
description "Vapor Example"
start on startup
env PORT=8080
exec /home/<user_name>/vapor-example/.build/release/App --env=production
You additionally have access to the following commands for starting and stopping your server.
sudo stop vapor-example
sudo start vapor-example
The following script is useful for upgrading your website.
git pull
swift build --configuration release
sudo stop vapor-example
sudo start vapor-example
Heroku
Use the vapor heroku
commands in the Vapor Toolbox to push to Heroku.
Docker
You can run this demo application locally in a Linux environment using Docker.
Make sure you have installed the Vapor Toolbox.
- Ensure Docker is installed on your local machine.
- Start the Docker terminal
- cd into
vapor-example
- Create the Dockerfile
vapor docker init
- Build the container
vapor docker build
- Run the container
vapor docker run
- Optionally enter the container
vapor docker enter
- Configure VirtualBox to forward ports 8080 to 8080
- Visit http://0.0.0.0:8080
Nginx / Supervisor
You can also run your Vapor app through Nginx. It’s recommended you use Supervisor to run the app instance to protect against crashes and ensure it’s always running.
Supervisor
To setup Vapor running through Supervisor, follow these steps:
apt-get install -y supervisor
Edit the config below to match your environment and place it in /etc/supervisor/conf.d/your-app.conf
:
[program:your-app]
command=/path/to/app/.build/release/App serve --ip=127.0.0.1 --port=8080
directory=/path/to/app
user=www-data
stdout_logfile=/var/log/supervisor/%(program_name)-stdout.log
stderr_logfile=/var/log/supervisor/%(program_name)-stderr.log
Now register the app with Supervisor and start it up:
supervisorctl reread
supervisorctl add your-app
supervisorctl start your-app # `add` may have auto-started, so disregard an “already started” error here
Nginx
With the app now running via Supervisor, you can use this sample nginx config to proxy it through Nginx:
server {
server_name your.host;
listen 80;
root /path/to/app/Public;
# Serve all public/static files via nginx and then fallback to Vapor for the rest
try_files $uri @proxy;
location @proxy {
# Make sure the port here matches the port in your Supervisor config
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8080;
proxy_pass_header Server;
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_connect_timeout 3s;
proxy_read_timeout 10s;
}
