Installing the command-line executable

Assuming you have Rust/Cargo installed, run this command in a terminal:

cargo install hyperfs

It will make the hyperfs command available in your PATH if you've allowed the PATH to be modified when installing Rust. cargo uninstall hyperfs uninstalls.

Back to the crate overview.

Readme

HyperFS

A simple HTTP server for static files.

HyperFS is a very simple http server that simply serves the files in the directory it is run from. It is primarily intended as a development tool similar to using python -m SimpleHTTPServer. But it is a single lightweight executable written in rust.

To be honest, part of the motivation was to just so I could try out rust.

Usage

To use simple cd into the directory with the files you want to server and run

$ hyperfs >port<

where >port< is the port you want to listen on. If not supplied it will listen on port 3000.

Installation

You can either download the binary from the latest release (currently only 64-bit linux version is available). Or you can build from source using

$ cargo build --release

and the resulting binary will be at 'target/release/hyperfs'.
