<Tabs items="[&#x22;Default&#x22;, &#x22;Development&#x22;, &#x22;Systemd Service&#x22;]">
  <Tab value="Default">
    Create a minimal config and start serving:

    ```toml title="rustinx.toml"
    [[vhost]]
    hostnames = ["_"]
    root = "./public"
    ```

    ```bash
    ./target/release/rustinx --config rustinx.toml
    ```

    The server starts on `0.0.0.0:9090`.
  </Tab>

  <Tab value="Development">
    For local development, bind to localhost with a custom port:

    ```toml title="dev.toml"
    [server]
    listen = "127.0.0.1:3000"

    [[vhost]]
    hostnames = ["_"]
    root = "./dist"
    spa = true
    ```

    ```bash
    ./target/release/rustinx --config dev.toml
    ```
  </Tab>

  <Tab value="Systemd Service">
    For Linux servers running Rustinx directly (without Docker):

    ```ini title="/etc/systemd/system/rustinx.service"
    [Unit]
    Description=Rustinx Static Web Server
    After=network.target

    [Service]
    Type=simple

## Signals [#signals]

Rustinx handles these signals:

| Signal            | Action            |
| ----------------- | ----------------- |
| `SIGTERM`         | Graceful shutdown |
| `SIGINT` (Ctrl+C) | Graceful shutdown |

On shutdown, Rustinx stops accepting new connections, waits for active requests to finish, and writes any remaining log entries to disk before exiting.
