Configuration

Learn how to configure your HTTP server for optimal performance and security.

Basic Configuration

main.v

module main

import khalyomede.mantis.http { create_app }

fn main() {
  app := create_app( 
    host: "0.0.0.0" // Network interface to bind to
    port: 8080 // Port to listen on
    mode: .standalone // Server operation mode
    cpus: 8 // Number of CPU cores to use
  )

  app.serve() or { panic(err) }
}

Server Options

Host

Controls which network interface the server binds to:

• "0.0.0.0" - Listen on all interfaces
• "127.0.0.1" - Listen only on localhost
• "192.168.1.10" - Listen on specific interface

Port

The TCP port your server listens on (1-65535)

CPU Cores

The cpus parameter controls how many worker processes handle requests:

main.v

module main

import khalyomede.mantis.http { create_app }

fn main() {
  app := create_app(
    cpus: 8  // Use 8 CPU cores
  )

  app.serve() or { panic(err) }
}

Best practices:

• Set to number of available CPU cores for maximum performance
• Leave 1-2 cores free for system processes on production servers
• For development, single core is usually sufficient
