startDaemonizedServer {httpuv}

Create an HTTP/WebSocket daemonized server (deprecated)

Description

This function will be removed in a future release of httpuv. It is simply a wrapper for startServer. In previous versions of httpuv (1.3.5 and below), startServer ran applications in the foreground and startDaemonizedServer ran applications in the background, but now both of them run applications in the background.

Usage

startDaemonizedServer(host, port, app, quiet = FALSE)

Arguments

host

A string that is a valid IPv4 address that is owned by this server, or "0.0.0.0" to listen on all IP addresses.

port

A number or integer that indicates the server port that should be listened on. Note that on most Unix-like systems including Linux and macOS, port numbers smaller than 1024 require root privileges.

app

A collection of functions that define your application. See Details.

quiet

If TRUE, suppress error messages from starting app.
