Server
======
2017-04-07 12:19:08 +00:00
2017-04-10 18:04:36 +00:00
The senpy server is launched via the `senpy` command:
2017-04-07 12:19:08 +00:00
2017-06-09 15:21:19 +00:00
.. code :: text
2017-04-07 12:19:08 +00:00
2017-04-10 18:04:36 +00:00
usage: senpy [-h] [--level logging_level] [--debug] [--default-plugins]
[--host HOST] [--port PORT] [--plugins-folder PLUGINS_FOLDER]
[--only-install]
2017-04-07 12:19:08 +00:00
2017-04-10 18:04:36 +00:00
Run a Senpy server
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
--level logging_level, -l logging_level
Logging level
--debug, -d Run the application in debug mode
--default-plugins Load the default plugins
--host HOST Use 0.0.0.0 to accept requests from any host.
--port PORT, -p PORT Port to listen on.
--plugins-folder PLUGINS_FOLDER, -f PLUGINS_FOLDER
Where to look for plugins.
--only-install, -i Do not run a server, only install plugin dependencies
When launched, the server will recursively look for plugins in the specified plugins folder (the current working directory by default).
2017-06-09 15:21:19 +00:00
For every plugin found, it will download its dependencies, and try to activate it.
2017-04-10 18:04:36 +00:00
The default server includes a playground and an endpoint with all plugins found.
2017-06-09 15:21:19 +00:00
Let's run senpy with the default plugins:
.. code :: bash
senpy -f . --default-plugins
Now go to `http://localhost:5000 <http://localhost:5000> `_ , you should be greeted by the senpy playground:

:alt: Playground
The playground is a user-friendly way to test your plugins, but you can always use the service directly: `http://localhost:5000/api?input=hello <http://localhost:5000/api?input=hello> `_ .
2017-04-10 18:04:36 +00:00
By default, senpy will listen only on the `127.0.0.1` address.
That means you can only access the API from your (or localhost).
2017-06-09 15:21:19 +00:00
You can listen on a different address using the `--host` flag (e.g., 0.0.0.0).
2017-04-10 18:04:36 +00:00
The default port is 5000.
2017-06-09 15:21:19 +00:00
You can change it with the `--port` flag.
2017-04-10 18:04:36 +00:00
For instance, to accept connections on port 6000 on any interface:
.. code :: bash
senpy --host 0.0.0.0 --port 6000
For more options, see the `--help` page.
