Barebones

This is a barebones Snap server. It contains a few routes and shows how a more complicated website could be constructed.

Using the Image

The image is available on the docker registry:

docker pull snapforbeginners/barebones

The Snap server runs on port 8000, so we'll use that same port on the host:

docker run -it -p 8000:8000 snapforbeginners/barebones

Building

To build a new image, we need to clone this repository and run docker build.

git clone git@github.com:snapforbeginners/barebones.git
cd barebones
docker build -t barebones .

then we can run it as before:

docker run -it -p 8000:8000 barebones

Exercise Answers

1. Run the image using: docker run -it -p 8000:8000 snapforbeginners/barebones Access the container by typing in either boot2docker ip or localhost into the browser's URL bar. (ex: localhost:8000)
2. getParam
3. We can add a handler to the end of the chain that has no routing restrictions:

site :: Snap ()
site =
    ifTop (writeBS "hello world") <|>
    route [ ("foo", writeBS "bar")
          , ("echo/:echoparam", echoHandler)
          ] <|>
    dir "static" (serveDirectory "/opt/server/static") <|>
    catchAll

catchAll :: Snap ()
catchAll = writeBS "An error occurred"
