documentation • source • llms.txt • crate • email

Web service that serves files using Axum, Tokio, Rust.

This is a very simple web service that we use for testing our systems.

Steps

Run the service using the default address 0.0.0.0:8080:

cargo run

You can browse files by name…

Browse https://localhost:8080/index.html

Browse https://localhost:8080/index.txt

Browse https://localhost:8080/index.json

You should see a response that shows the file contents.

Options

Run the service using an environment variable for a custom bind address:

export BIND="1.1.1.1:1111"
cargo run

Run the service using environment variables for a custom host and port:

export HOST="1.1.1.1"
export PORT="1111"
cargo run
