This app allows Klondike to run without IIS from the command line or as a service.
Settings are configured in Settings.config and can be overridden on the command line.
In addition to the options found in Settings.config, the following additional options are supported:
| Switch | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
| port | 8080 | When no url(s) are specified, listens on all interface on this tcp port. |
| url | URL to listen on, e.g. http://example.com/ (may be repeated for multiple bindings). |
|
| virtualPathRoot | / | Virtual path root to prefix all routes with. |
| serverFactory | Nowin | Selects OWIN server factory (may also use Microsoft.Owin.Host.HttpListener on Windows). |
| enableAnonymousAuthentication | true | When using Microsoft.Owin.Host.HttpListener, enables / disables Anonymous authentication. |
| enableIntegratedWindowsAuthentication | false | When using Microsoft.Owin.Host.HttpListener, enables / disables Windows authentication. |
| baseDirectory | (computed) | The directory where Klondike.SelfHost.exe resides, or the parent of bin when in a bin folder. |
| interactive | (computed) | When set to true, don't run as a service, block on Console.ReadLine. When unspecified, uses Environment.UserInteractive. |
You can install Klondike as a Windows Service so it runs in the background and starts when Windows starts:
C:\Windows\system32\sc.exe create Klondike \
start= auto
binpath= "c:\path\to\klondike\bin\Klondike.SelfHost.exe --args --go --here"
You can also run the service using mono-service on Unix hosts:
mono /path/to/mono-service.exe Klondike.SelfHost.exe
N.B.: Make sure to use the correct version of mono-service.exe. The one on your system path may be outdated.
N.B.: Also make sure that Klondike's bin directory is used as the working directory when using mono-service.
