> A blazing fast static files-serving web server powered by [Rust Iron](https://github.com/iron/iron). :zap:
**Static Web Server** is a very small and fast web server to serving static files such as html files or assets.
## Features
- Built with [Rust](https://rust-lang.org) which is focused on [safety, speed, and concurrency](https://kornel.ski/rust-c-speed).
- Memory safety and reduced overhead of CPU and RAM resources.
- Blazing fast static files-serving thanks to [Rust Iron](https://github.com/iron/iron).
- Suitable for small [GNU/Linux Docker containers](https://hub.docker.com/r/joseluisq/static-web-server). It's a fully __1.4MB__ static binary thanks to [Rust and Musl libc](https://doc.rust-lang.org/edition-guide/rust-2018/platform-and-target-support/musl-support-for-fully-static-binaries.html).
- Gzip compression by default.
- Cache control headers included.
- Configurable via environment variables or CLI arguments.
- Lightweight logging support.
- Scratch and [latest Alpine Linux](https://hub.docker.com/_/alpine) Docker images available.
## Missing features
- TLS support
PRs welcome!
## Usage
Server is configured either via environment variables:
- **SERVER_NAME**: Name for server. Default `my-static-server`.
- **SERVER_HOST**: Host address (E.g 127.0.0.1). Default `[::]`.
- **SERVER_PORT**: Host port. Default `80`.
- **SERVER_ROOT**: Root directory path of static files. Default `./public`.
- **SERVER_ASSETS**: Assets directory path for add cache headers functionality. Default `./assets` but relative to the root.
Or command line arguments listed with `cargo run -- -h`.
```sh
static-web-server 1.0.0
USAGE:
static-web-server [OPTIONS]
FLAGS:
-h, --help Prints help information
-V, --version Prints version information
OPTIONS:
--assets <assets> Assets directory path for add cache headers functionality [env: SERVER_ASSETS=] [default:
./assets]
--host <host> Host address (E.g 127.0.0.1) [env: SERVER_HOST=] [default: [::]]
--name <name> Name for server [env: SERVER_NAME=] [default: my-static-server]
--port <port> Host port [env: SERVER_PORT=] [default: 80]
--root <root> Root directory path of static files [env: SERVER_ROOT=]
```
