Jobim

jobim is a light utility for generating a static HTTP server. This allows for rapid website design and development without the hassle and security risk of a full web-server installation. jobim leverages Thin and exposes a limited subset of the thin executable command flags for your convenience in addition to a set of flags for its own configuration.

Installation

jobim is registered on rubygems and is available anywhere good gems are sold.

gem install jobim

jobim is run like thin but does not require a configuration script. By default jobim will bind to 0.0.0.0:3000 and serve the current working directory.

jobim path/to/webroot

The site can be viewed at http://localhost:3000 via a normal web browser.

Configuration Files

jobim also allows for the use of a configuration file .jobim.yml. This can be used to set sane defaults for the jobim program to use in every execution. jobim will search up from the current working directory until it reaches / in the pursuit of configuration files, with the configuration options cascading from root to the current working directory. Options passed as command flags to jobim always win.

# Example config file
---
:dir: /web_root
:prefix: /foo
:port: 300

All options must be specified as key value pairs in a depth one hash. The keys must be ruby symbols (For historical reasons capitalization of these keys is irrelevant but they should be all downcase). The valid options are :daemonize, :dir, :host, :port, :prefix, :quiet, and :conf_dir.
