Thin

📌 Archived

After 20 years, Thin is no longer maintained. If you're starting something new, or looking to move off Thin, check out Falcon — a modern, actively maintained Ruby web server.

Special thanks to Samuel Williams, who has kept Thin maintained over the past couple of years.

To everyone who used Thin, filed issues, sent patches, or contributed over the years: thank you. This project meant a lot to me, and being part of a community because of it changed my life.

— Marc

A small and fast Ruby web server

Installation

gem install thin

Or add thin to your Gemfile:

gem 'thin'

Usage

A +thin+ script offers an easy way to start your Rack application:

thin start

Browse the example directory for sample applications.

CLI

Use a rackup (config.ru) file and bind to localhost port 8080:

thin -R config.ru -a 127.0.0.1 -p 8080 start

Store the server process ID, log to a file and daemonize:

thin -p 9292 -P tmp/pids/thin.pid -l logs/thin.log -d start

Thin is quite flexible in that many options can be specified at the command line (see thin -h for more).

Configuration files

You can create a configuration file using thin config -C config/thin.yml.

You can then use it with all commands, such as: thin start -C config/thin.yml.

Here is an example config file:

--- 
user: www-data
group: www-data
pid: tmp/pids/thin.pid
timeout: 30
wait: 30
log: log/thin.log
max_conns: 1024
require: []
environment: production
max_persistent_conns: 512
servers: 1
threaded: true
no-epoll: true
daemonize: true
socket: tmp/sockets/thin.sock
chdir: /path/to/your/apps/root
tag: a-name-to-show-up-in-ps aux
