narnia

narnia is a fast static webserver specifically designed for Tor hidden services. It's also able to spawn a Tor thread and expose itself as a hidden service, simply by setting an additional commandline option.

narnia is hosting a mirror of its own source code on http://3wisi2bfpxplne5wlwz4l5ucvsbaozbteaqnm62oxzmgwhb2qqxvsuyd.onion/.

# Start the http server and serve files in www/
narnia -B '[::1]:1337' -w www/
# Serve www/ and enable directory listing
narnia -B '[::1]:1337' -Lw www/
# Serve www/ on a unix domain socket
# The path needs to start with either . or /
narnia -B ./narnia.sock -w www/
# Serve www/ on a hidden service
# The hidden service address is in `data/hs/hostname`
narnia -D data/ -w www/
# Serve www/ but chroot into it beforehand, verbose logs
narnia -vv -B '[::1]:1337' -w / -C www/
