问题
I have a Node.js application that contains an http(s) server.
In a specific case, I need to shutdown this server programmatically. What I am currently doing is calling its close() function, but this does not help, as it waits for any kept alive connections to finish first.
So, basically, this shutdowns the server, but only after a minimum wait time of 120 seconds. But I want the server to shutdown immediately - even if this means breaking up with currently handled requests.
What I can not do is a simple
process.exit();
as the server is only part of the application, and the rest of the application should remain running. What I am looking for is conceptually something such as server.destroy(); or something like that.
How could I achieve this?
PS: The keep-alive timeout for connections is usually required, hence it is not a viable option to decrease this time.
回答1:
The trick is that you need to subscribe to the server's connection event which gives you the socket of the new connection. You need to remember this socket and later on, directly after having called server.close(), destroy that socket using socket.destroy().
Additionally, you need to listen to the socket's close event to remove it from the array if it leaves naturally because its keep-alive timeout does run out.
I have written a small sample application you can use to demonstrate this behavior:
// Create a new server on port 4000
var http = require('http');
var server = http.createServer(function (req, res) {
res.end('Hello world!');
}).listen(4000);
// Maintain a hash of all connected sockets
var sockets = {}, nextSocketId = 0;
server.on('connection', function (socket) {
// Add a newly connected socket
var socketId = nextSocketId++;
sockets[socketId] = socket;
console.log('socket', socketId, 'opened');
// Remove the socket when it closes
socket.on('close', function () {
console.log('socket', socketId, 'closed');
delete sockets[socketId];
});
// Extend socket lifetime for demo purposes
socket.setTimeout(4000);
});
// Count down from 10 seconds
(function countDown (counter) {
console.log(counter);
if (counter > 0)
return setTimeout(countDown, 1000, counter - 1);
// Close the server
server.close(function () { console.log('Server closed!'); });
// Destroy all open sockets
for (var socketId in sockets) {
console.log('socket', socketId, 'destroyed');
sockets[socketId].destroy();
}
})(10);
Basically, what it does is to start a new HTTP server, count from 10 to 0, and close the server after 10 seconds. If no connection has been established, the server shuts down immediately.
If a connection has been established and it is still open, it is destroyed. If it had already died naturally, only a message is printed out at that point in time.

I found a way to do this without having to keep track of the connections or having to force them closed. I'm not sure how reliable it is across Node versions or if there are any negative consequences to this but it seems to work perfectly fine for what I'm doing. The trick is to emit the "close" event using setImmediate right after calling the close method. This works like so:
server.close(callback);
setImmediate(function(){server.emit('close')});
At least for me, this ends up freeing the port so that I can start a new HTTP(S) service by the time the callback is called (which is pretty much instantly). Existing connections stay open. I'm using this to automatically restart the HTTPS service after renewing a Let's Encrypt certificate.

If you need to keep the process alive after closing the server, then Golo Roden's solution is probably the best.
But if you're closing the server as part of a graceful shutdown of the process, you just need this:
var server = require('http').createServer(myFancyServerLogic);
server.on('connection', function (socket) {socket.unref();});
server.listen(80);
function myFancyServerLogic(req, res) {
req.connection.ref();
res.end('Hello World!', function () {
req.connection.unref();
});
}
Basically, the sockets that your server uses will only keep the process alive while they're actually serving a request. While they're just sitting there idly (because of a Keep-Alive connection), a call to server.close() will close the process, as long as there's nothing else keeping the process alive. If you need to do other things after the server closes, as part of your graceful shutdown, you can hook into process.on('beforeExit', callback) to finish your graceful shutdown procedures.

The https://github.com/isaacs/server-destroy library provides an easy way to destroy() a server with the behavior desired in the question (by tracking opened connections and destroying each of them on server destroy, as described in other answers).

As others have said, the solution is to keep track of all open sockets and close them manually. My node package killable can do this for you. An example (using express, but you can call use killable on any http.server instance):
var killable = require('killable');
var app = require('express')();
var server;
app.route('/', function (req, res, next) {
res.send('Server is going down NOW!');
server.kill(function () {
//the server is down when this is called. That won't take long.
});
});
var server = app.listen(8080);
killable(server);

Yet another nodejs package to perform a shutdown killing connections: http-shutdown, which seems reasonably maintained at the time of writing (Sept. 2016) and worked for me on NodeJS 6.x
From the documentation
Usage
There are currently two ways to use this library. The first is explicit wrapping of the Server object:
// Create the http server
var server = require('http').createServer(function(req, res) {
res.end('Good job!');
});
// Wrap the server object with additional functionality.
// This should be done immediately after server construction, or before you start listening.
// Additional functionailiy needs to be added for http server events to properly shutdown.
server = require('http-shutdown')(server);
// Listen on a port and start taking requests.
server.listen(3000);
// Sometime later... shutdown the server.
server.shutdown(function() {
console.log('Everything is cleanly shutdown.');
});
The second is implicitly adding prototype functionality to the Server object:
// .extend adds a .withShutdown prototype method to the Server object
require('http-shutdown').extend();
var server = require('http').createServer(function(req, res) {
res.end('God job!');
}).withShutdown(); // <-- Easy to chain. Returns the Server object
// Sometime later, shutdown the server.
server.shutdown(function() {
console.log('Everything is cleanly shutdown.');
});

My best guess would be to kill the connections manually (i.e. to forcibly close it's sockets).
Ideally, this should be done by digging into the server's internals and closing it's sockets by hand. Alternatively, one could run a shell-command that does the same (provided the server has proper privileges &c.)

const Koa = require('koa')
const app = new Koa()
let keepAlive = true
app.use(async (ctx) => {
let url = ctx.request.url
// destroy socket
if (keepAlive === false) {
ctx.response.set('Connection', 'close')
}
switch (url) {
case '/restart':
ctx.body = 'success'
process.send('restart')
break;
default:
ctx.body = 'world-----' + Date.now()
}
})
const server = app.listen(9011)
process.on('message', (data, sendHandle) => {
if (data == 'stop') {
keepAlive = false
server.close();
}
})回答9:
process.exit(code); // code 0 for success and 1 for fail
