Tusd is a server originally developed for the tus resumable upload protocol, but recent versions also provide experimental support for the resumable upload draft from the HTTP working group. Its goal is to support all draft versions and serve as a testing ground for new upload clients. Tusd is a feature-rich upload server and supports storing data on various cloud providers and notifying applications about upload progress (see its documentation).
- Download the pre-built binary from https://github.com/tus/tusd/releases/tag/v2.4.0 (or obtain the source and compile it own your own).
# For example (be sure to change to your OS and architecture): wget https://github.com/tus/tusd/releases/download/v2.4.0/tusd_darwin_amd64.zip - Extract the archive
unzip tusd_darwin_arm64.zip
- Run the tusd server
./tusd_darwin_arm64/tusd -enable-experimental-protocol -host 127.0.0.1 -port 8080 -base-path /files/
- The resumable upload server is then accepting resumable uploads at http://127.0.0.1:8080/files. It supports uploads using draft-ietf-httpbis-resumable-upload and tus v1.
