conneting to a running instance of Nutcracker and running the web interface on port 22122
```
$ nutcracker-web --config /etc/nutcracker/cluster.yml --port 22122
[2014-03-02 17:26:40] INFO  WEBrick 1.3.1

```

launching Nutcracker and nutcracker-web
```
$ nutcracker-web --config /etc/nutcracker/cluster.yml --port 22122 --launch

```

## Usage via code
After starting the nutcracker service via [nutcracker-ruby](https://github.com/kontera-technologies/nutcracker) just activate the `nutcracker-web` plugin:
```ruby
require 'nutcracker'
require 'nutcracker/web'

# Start nutcracker
nutcracker = Nutcracker.start(config_file: 'cluster.conf')

# Start the web service on port 1234 using Webrick
nutcracker.use(:web, Port: 1234)

# Sleeping....
nutcracker.join
```

> you can pass default [Rack](https://github.com/rack/rack) [options](https://github.com/rack/rack/blob/master/lib/rack/server.rb#L187..L199) to `Nutcracker#use` ( like :Host, :server etc)

## Custom Webserver
to use a different webserver like [thin](http://code.macournoyer.com/thin/)

```ruby
require 'nutcracker'
require 'nutcracker/web'
require 'thin'

nutcracker = Nutcracker.start(config_file: 'cluster.conf')
nutcracker.use(:web, Port: 1234, server: :thin)
nutcracker.join
```

## Gotchas
- `redis.conf` : don't forget to configure the `maxmemory` attribute for each Redis instance

## Developer ?
to run nutcracker-web with stub data
- `bundle install`
- run the `rackup` command to start the service.
- edit `example.json`.
- client Backbone app is under `assets` and the Sinatra backend is under the `lib` directory.

## Packaging & Testing
- `rake compile` : compile the assets into a single application.{js,css} file under the public directory
- `rake build` : compile the assets & builds a new gem
- `rake test` : runs the jasmine tests suite
