dufs VS miniserve

Sounds helpful if you're using Apache. I use dufs (https://github.com/sigoden/dufs) as a lightweight file server.

I'm with you on wishing WebDAV continued its rollout. These days there are great low-drama server-side deployments like https://github.com/sigoden/dufs. It's run relative too - you could habe multiple dufs processes serving up different directories in different ways. But for WebDAV, you can't simply mount that on the client side for every OS that's equally low configutaion. For that reason, I really like sshfs as it can be initiated from the client-side without a lot of config (just a mkdir of the mapped dir), and it's OK most time despite it's lack of speed and multi-day uptime. I'm on a chromebook now and it turns out that Samba is the easiest client-side tech to use for remote file systems. DAv should've been uniquitous.

WebDAV: https://github.com/sigoden/dufs - has an easy way of launching, and on the releases tab downloads for multiple CPUs/OSs. The rust exe can just be executed from the cli without installation via package managers (wget and tar xf) are all you need.

I use sigoden/dufs. Very simple file browser that doubles as a basic http server. Supports upload, download and basic file manipulation. I feel it's utterly underrated.

So sorry. It only has one f. https://github.com/sigoden/dufs

My solution for public media distribution is Caddy¹ on Scaleway Stardust². 10gb of storage isn't really enough (someday I will write I/O for the 75gb of free object storage), but offers unmetered 100mbps data transfer for $3/month. I setup a proxy through Caddy to dufs³ to upload files.

Anything worth keeping goes on an external HD, buy a bigger one each year and make another copy. I also upload all irreplaceable video to Youtube as private videos; I recently went through and granted a few people access to the ones they wanted to see.

GitHub - svenstaro/miniserve: 🌟 For when you really just want to serve some files over HTTP right now!

And yet C and C++ also have similar functionality. Even if the difference were measured in hundreds of milliseconds, I'd still want to trim down the set of supported formats in my projects and, guess what... the project I most have in mind is an image gallery version of miniserve where I want to statically link everything.

Second this. Both Dufs or Miniserve are good lightweight options.

On a server machine I have Miniserve (a simple service to serve files from a folder over a website) running at 192.168.0.24:50090 or server.local.obfuscated.duckdns.org:50090.

miniserve is an example of an app sort of like that (no SQL, but it'll do file downloads and uploads). I'm currently using it to work on something similar but for quickly throwing up image galleries.

actix-web was the big name in "runs on stable Rust" for a long time and it's what I use, as well as what's used by things like miniserve, paired with Maud.
