A very simple implementation of a webserver in rust.
⚠️ The project was designed for fun and learning, it should NOT be used for production purposes.⚠️ There are probably many bugs, and functionalities, which have not been added and never will be.
- Threaded GET Requests
- Serving html files
- Serving other text based files (e.g javascript, css)
- Serving images
- Error Pages (e.g 404, 500)
This setup assumes you installed Rust. If you haven't you can download it here here.
First clone the git repository.
git clone https://github.com/NLion74/Rust-Webserver
After having cloned the repository move into Rust-Webserver/src and create a repository called html (Can be changed by editing src/main.rs) in which you can now put your html files. Finally start the server using cargo.
cd Rust-Webserver/src
# Create a folder called "html" and put in the files you want to serve.
cargo run
Your server should now be up and running head to 127.0.0.1:6969 in your browser or alternatively if installed on another machine, the ip address of the machine with the port 6969. The port can be changed by editing src/main.rs.
