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)
  • --lua-plugin : A lua plugin (path to it)
  • --lua-arg : example debug

More on Lua plugins:

Currently its only semi implemented but its on the way. You can load a plugin and depending on where it lives the lua plugin will always choose its own directory as its current working directory. that is the only thing which i need to mention! Documentation wise its very bad, a wiki of how the Plugin API works will have to be written!

Docker

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

Contributers:

Currently there only is 1 Contributer, myself, that is because the repository is privated (as of 16/03/2026)
