DESCRIPTION¶ ↑

RingyDingy is a little boat that keeps your DRb service afloat! RingyDingy automatically registers a service with a RingServer. If communication between the RingServer and the RingyDingy is lost, RingyDingy will re-register its service with the RingServer when it reappears.

Similarly, the RingServer will automatically drop registrations by a RingyDingy that it can’t communicate with after a short timeout.

RingyDingy also includes a RingServer wrapper that adds verbose mode to see what services as they register and expire and an option to list all available services on the network.

Installing RingyDingy¶ ↑

Just install the gem:

$ sudo gem install RingyDingy

Using RingyDingy¶ ↑

require 'rubygems'
require 'ringy_dingy'
require 'my_drb_service'

my_drb_service = MyDRbService.new

RingyDingy.new(my_drb_service).run

DRb.thread.join

Using RingyDingy::RingServer¶ ↑

To start a RingServer:

$ ring_server

To list services on the network:

$ ring_server -l

To enable or disable verbose mode remotely:

$ ring_server --set-logging=true/false
