s

A pet project to have some fun in Go. It's called s because you use it to serve file or directory.

This is a rip off of the idea of Simon Budig's woof.

You can serve either:

• serve a file (1 or N times; at the end of the count; the app closes)
• serve a directory until you close the app. (useful for dev purposes)

The default port is 4242 (so you don't need special ACL to run it; you can change it with '--port'.

It will listen on all your interfaces; so if the IP found is not the one you want to use, you can simply change the URL.

Install

Still here ? Wow.

Well, if your REALLY want to use it, you can do:

go install github.com/maximeh/s@latest

Compile

To compile for other system; use:

go tool dist list

to view the list of of possible platforms.

Then run:

env GOOS=linux GOARCH=amd64 go build

to compile that binary.

And that should be it, it should download and compile everything.

systemd

Once built, put the binary somewhere on your system; example:

sudo cp s /usr/local/bin/

Copy the service into systemd's structure and enable the service:

sudo cp s.service /etc/systemd/system/
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl enable s

Finally start the service:

sudo service s start
