# http-rs

Simple webserver, designed to be minimal and just work.
We now use clap for parsing the cli args, so dont try the old way!

```
./http-rs --port 8080 --root ./data/to/serve
```

## Arguments which can be used:

- `--port`    : a port where the webserver opens
- `--root`    : the directory where the webserver serves files from
- `--threads` : Number of threads to use (default : 2)

## Docker

This can be run within a docker container. And tbh its very simple!
You should use MUSL, and alpine for this.
example dockerfile:

```dockerfile
FROM alpine:3.19 # use alpine, its minimal in size

WORKDIR /app # workdir = app

COPY http-rs ./target/x86_64-unknown-linux-musl/release/http-rs # copy the binary!
COPY app/ /app/     # copy your HTML containing folder to app or some dir

EXPOSE 8080

# this does look bloated, but its clean!
CMD ["http-rs", "--port", "8080", "--root", "/app"] # run the app , PORT:8080;DIR:/app
```
