A Webserver written in Rust. Build on the speedy Hyper.

Usage

Installation

Install cargo and then: cargo install flash_rust_ws (stable) cargo install --git https://github.com/User65k/flash_rust_ws.git (hottest kind of hot)

Running

Create a config file and execute the binary ☺️

See the Wiki for some help with the config file.

You will need at least a single Host containing a Mount Path.

Minimal Example:

["example.com"]
ip = "127.0.0.1:80"
dir = "/var/www/"

Let's Encrypt Example:

["example.com"]
ip = "[::]:443"
validate_server_name = true
dir = "/var/www/"
tls.host.ACME = {uri="https://acme-staging-v02.api.letsencrypt.org/directory",cache_dir=".",contact=["mailto:admin@example.com"]}
