Simple static file server, with support of HTTP and HTTPS. Useful for local testing of web applications.
There are no configuration files and no dependencies (except one for testing). Serving the current directory on HTTP port 8080 is as simple as invoking:
$ go run github.com/eliben/static-server@latest
<timestamp> Serving directory "." on http://127.0.0.1:8080
If you want to install static-server locally first, you can run:
$ go install github.com/eliben/static-server@latest
And then invoke static-server as needed. Command-line flags can be used to
configure the behavior of the server:
$ static-server -h
Usage: ./static-server [dir]
[dir] is optional; if not passed, '.' is used.
By default, the server listens on localhost:8080. Both the
host and the port are configurable with flags. Set the host
to something else if you want the server to listen on a
specific network interface. Setting the port to 0 will
instruct the server to pick a random available port.
