Super simple file server
All this server does is serve static assets directly from the file system.
Features:
- Server response caching
- Etag for client caching
- gzip compression
- brotli compression
- Automatic SSL (Lets Encrypt)
First off git clone https://github.com/ronappleton/go-file-server.git go-file-server
Ensure go is installed (>1.16)
- In the root folder run
go build -buildvcs=false -o build/go-file-server - Copy the file from the build folder to your server somewhere.
- Create a folder next to the binary called
files(I like to be original) - Run
chmod +x go-file-server - Run
./go-file-server
Go file server also accepts five optional arguments:
--port=80--storagePath=/your/folder/path--storageFolder=files--production=true--domain=www.example.com[email protected]
These allow you to change the port the server serves from and allows you to set where your files folder lives,
as well as configure domain and email for ssl certificate issue, and production to enable ssl usage.
All there is left to do is point a domain at your server address and your in business!
I wanted a simple file server that just does its job as well as it can, and Iris is a web framework for go that makes it real easy, adding the etag and compression functionality was easy.
Iris is the fastest HTTP2 compatible golang web framework.
