Running Alambic

Starting the UI

For production use

For production use Hypnotoad is recommended for its prefork ability. Learn more about the development and production environments of Mojolicious.

hypnotoad bin/alambic

The hypnotoad server can be reloaded by re-executing the same launch command.

It can be stopped gracefully using the -s flag:

hypnotoad -s bin/alambic

Note: this is the same as using the prefork command within Alambic:

bin/alambic prefork

For development

For development, it is easier to use morbo. Morbo is Mojolicious' single-thread web server for development. It notably has a auto-reload feature when files change.

morbo bin/alambic

Note: this is the same as using the prefork command within Alambic:

bin/alambic daemon

Minion job queueing

The above commands start the UI daemon, but all long-running operations (e.g. project analyses) use a job queueing system, Minion. One needs to start a minion worker to actually do the work:

bin/alambic minion worker

Post tasks

From there everything can be done from the web interface. The dashboard is served by default on http://localhost:3010 if run under hypnotoad, and http://localhost:3000 if run under morbo. You can go to the Admin Panel and start creating projects, attach data source plugins to them, and run the analysis.
