snusnu

Simple HTTP/2 server, for serving the files in a given directory.

DEPRECATED! I would rather recommend Algernon.

Features and limitations

• Supports HTTP/2 and HTTPS.
• Supports Markdown when displaying files ending with .md.
• If index.html, index.md or index.txt is found, it will be used for the main page.
• It's reasonably fast. Runs as a native executable.
• Uses UTF-8 whenever possible.
• Only sets Content-Type for a few commonly used filetypes.
• Self-signed TLS certificates will make the browser complain, unless the certificates are imported somehow.

Usage

snusnu [directory] [host:port] [certfile] [keyfile]

host:port can be just :port for localhost.

Examples

Share the current directory as https://localhost:3000/

snusnu . :3000

---

Share a single file as the main page at https://localhost/. This will make snusnu listen to port 443, which may need more permissions. Run as root or a dedicated user (recommended).
