curl lama.sh | sh
lama is a simple HTTP server that serves files, directories and verbosely logs requests. This project has two main qualities:
- Easy to use: lama allows one to start a web server on any Linux/MacOSX using 25 characters, with no requirements (not even libc).
- Trustworthy: lama's code and download script are as simple as they can be, thus can be inspected and verified. We have a very shallow dependency tree (just two dependencies other than the Go standard library).
server sports a few command-line flags which configure its behaviour. To pass those flags use
$ curl lama.sh | sh -s -- <flags>
For example to print the list of available flags
$ curl lama.sh | sh -s -- --help
Usage of lama:
-d, --directory string the directory to serve (default ".")
-N, --dont-dump be less verbose and don't dump requests
-D, --dont-serve don't serve any directy (ignores --directory)
-l, --localhost serve on localhost only
-p, --port string port to serve on, respects LAMA_PORT envvar (default "8080")
-v, --version prints the version
Some flags can be set as environment variables, like so:
curl lama.sh | LAMA_PORT=8888 sh

It's easiest to develop lama using Gitpod, a free one-click online IDE (who I happen to be working on):
