minimal_web

minimal webserver

Serves static files from memory. Reloads files when they change. Nothing else. Only listens on 127.0.0.1:8080, intended to be used behind a reverse proxy.

Features

• Serve static files from a directory
• Watch filesystem for changes (files added, modified or deleted)

Notes

• The rust async ecosystem is in a constant state of flux. Latest version of hyper uses outdated version of tokio. I'll have to update the dependencies and port the code regularly.

Future work

• More in-depth security analysis
• It should be possible to change the configuration (logging, ...) at runtime
