NAME
static-file-server
SYNOPSIS
static-file-server
static-file-server [ -c | -config | --config ] /path/to/config.yml
static-file-server [ help | -help | --help ]
static-file-server [ version | -version | --version ]
DESCRIPTION
The Static File Server is intended to be a tiny, fast and simple solution
for serving files over HTTP. The features included are limited to make to
binding to a host name and port, selecting a folder to serve, choosing a
URL path prefix and selecting TLS certificates. If you want really awesome
reverse proxy features, I recommend Nginx.
DEPENDENCIES
None... not even libc!
ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
FOLDER
The path to the folder containing the contents to be served over
HTTP(s). If not supplied, defaults to '/web' (for Docker reasons).
HOST
The hostname used for binding. If not supplied, contents will be served
to a client without regard for the hostname.
PORT
The port used for binding. If not supplied, defaults to port '8080'.
SHOW_LISTING
Automatically serve the index file for the directory if requested. For
example, if the client requests 'http://127.0.0.1/' the 'index.html'
file in the root of the directory being served is returned. If the value
is set to 'false', the same request will return a 'NOT FOUND'. Default
value is 'true'.
TLS_CERT
Path to the TLS certificate file to serve files using HTTPS. If supplied
then TLS_KEY must also be supplied. If not supplied, contents will be
served via HTTP.
TLS_KEY
Path to the TLS key file to serve files using HTTPS. If supplied then
TLS_CERT must also be supplied. If not supplied, contents will be served
via HTTPS
URL_PREFIX
The prefix to use in the URL path. If supplied, then the prefix must
start with a forward-slash and NOT end with a forward-slash. If not
supplied then no prefix is used.
CONFIGURATION FILE
Configuration can also managed used a YAML configuration file. To select the
configuration values using the YAML file, pass in the path to the file using
the appropriate flags (-c, --config). Environment variables take priority
over the configuration file. The following is an example configuration using
the default values.
Example config.yml with defaults:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
folder: /web
host: ""
port: 8080
show-listing: true
tls-cert: ""
tls-key: ""
url-prefix: ""
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
USAGE
FILE LAYOUT
/var/www/sub/my.file
/var/www/index.html
COMMAND
export FOLDER=/var/www/sub
static-file-server
Retrieve with: wget http://localhost:8080/my.file
wget http://my.machine:8080/my.file
export FOLDER=/var/www
export HOST=my.machine
export PORT=80
static-file-server
Retrieve with: wget http://my.machine/sub/my.file
export FOLDER=/var/www
static-file-server -c config.yml
Result: Runs with values from config.yml, but with the folder being
served overridden by the FOLDER environment variable.
