Starting the Server
Web Server
The web server will receive incoming updates via an outgoing webhook from the messaging platforms configured in a given project, such as Messenger, Telegram or WhatsApp.
It will run in the port configured in the field config.http_port located in the config file config/application.rb
Run in Foreground
For developing purposes and testing your server quickly, run this command:
This will show all the outputs in foreground instead of sending them to logs file in logs/http.log.
Tunnel to localhost using Ngrok
We recommend to download and use Ngrok to create a local tunnel to your development machine.
Run as Daemon
To run the web server in the background, simply run the command:
This will write all the outputs in the logs file located in logs/http.log.
Stop, Restart and Status
Production web server
Since all messaging platforms require secure callback urls and Kogno only supports the HTTP protocol.
We suggest setting up an HTTPS Server in either Apache or Nginx and making a gateway to the Kogno web server http port.
Other processes
There are other processes that, together with the web server, are part of the whole Kogno server, they can be controlled separately or together.

This process execute the expired actions in the sequences.
