Servy

A tiny little web server

Build Status Build status

What is servy?

Well it's a tiny little web server written in rust.
It's a single binary with only a few flags meant to be analogous to python -m http.server

Important Note

By default servy starts on the ipv6 interface by using the host string [::1] If you want to start it on the ipv4 interface use a ipv4 host string (see below)

Usage

servy

Start a web server on port 8000

servy my/dir

Start a web server using my/dir as root directory

servy -p 8080

Start servy on port 8080

servy -h 127.0.0.1

Start servy with host string 127.0.0.1 (start on the ipv4 loopback interface)

servy -v

Use verbose output (print out a debug message every time a connection is made)

servy --help

Print the help message

Stuff inside

Servy in built on top of hyper. I like it because it's small and simple, compared to larger frameworks, without being unwieldy.

Benchmarks (cuz why not)

As servy is built on tokio-minihttp it's quite fast. On my laptop with an Intel Core i7-4700MQ @ 2.4GHz with 16GB of RAM When I run wrk -c 200 -d 10 -t 20 http://\[::1\]:8000/Cargo.toml I get

For comparision running the same test on python -m http.server on Python 3.6.4
