fcgi

fcgi is an implmentation of the FastCGI specification

Installation

Add this to your application's shard.yml:

dependencies:
  fcgi:
    github: blazerw/fcgi

Usage

require "fcgi"

Basically, you create an app using your favorite Crystal framework (Kemal, Amber, and coming soon, Lucky). Figure out what's needed to boot your app and framework. See examples to get started. These examples work on Dreamhost slices and require a certain configuration. Current configuration:

Domain to host:                    mysubdomain.mydomain.com
Do you want the www in your URL?:  Remove WWW
Run this domain under the user:    username
Web Directory:                     /home/username/mysubdomain.mydomain.com
PHP Mode:                          PHP 7.0 FastCGI # Yes, PHP Mode.
Automatically upgrade PHP:         true
HTTPS:                             true
Extra Web Security?:               false
Passenger:                         false
Enable CloudFlare on this domain?: false
Google Apps:                       false

Add .htaccess file into directory mysubdomain.mydomain.com:

<IfModule mod_fastcgi.c>
AddHandler fastcgi-script .fcgi
</IfModule>
<IfModule mod_fcgid.c>
AddHandler fcgid-script .fcgi
</IfModule>

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ dispatch.fcgi/$1 [QSA,L]

ErrorDocument 500 "500 Main: FCGI application failed to start properly!"
ErrorDocument 501 "501 Main: FCGI application failed to start properly!"
ErrorDocument 502 "502 Main: FCGI application failed to start properly!"
ErrorDocument 503 "503 Main: FCGI application failed to start properly!"

You must change dispatch.fcgi to the name of your compiled crystal web application.

Examples

1. Amber Framework
2. Lucky Framework

Development

TODO List:

1. Write some tests (steal fcgi data from verbose logs)
2. Kill verbose logs
3. Switch logging to a Logger from lazy putsing around.
