# deadbeef.codes-publicfileserver

Serves files to the public, static content to any files in ./public

This is meant to be a spot for non-changing content, to host files to allow me to share with others.  In most cases it'll be best practice to keep project-related files within the project directory and serve public static content from a webserver within that project.  

### Prerequisites

1. First, install [Go](https://golang.org/dl/).  
2. Then, install [Docker](https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/ubuntu/) - see left menu for other distibutions.
3. Finally, install [docker-compose](sudo curl -L "https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/1.26.2/docker-compose-$(uname -s)-$(uname -m)" -o /usr/local/bin/docker-compose)


### Build Application

```shell
go build -a -ldflags '-w'
```

You may need to log out and back in afterwards to ensure the "go" command is set in your PATH environment variable, otherwise it may say it's an invalid command.

### Build Container

Disclaimer! If you use this, you’ll need to build the container yourself. I have a CICD pipeline setup, but my registry is used for my internal infrastructure only and is not publicly available.

Because this is a staticly linked binary with no external runtime dependancies, the container literally only contains the binary file, keeping it clean and low in size (6.3MB). I never did understand why people include operating systems in containers.

```shell
docker build -t publicfileserver:latest .
```

### Example docker-compose.yml

```yaml
version: '3.7'

services:
  publicfileserver:
    image: publicfileserver:latest
    restart: always
    ports:
      - 8080:8080
    volumes:
      - /data/public:/public
```

In this example, data stored on your host disk /data/public would be served

## Usage

```shell
git clone https://deadbeef.codes/steven/deadbeef.codes-publicfileserver.git
docker build -t publicfileserver:latest .
docker-compose up -d
```
