statikk

Statikk

A simple and secure server for static files.

There are two smart security defaults set:

• Your .git files are not exposed. (Whereas ALL other simple http servers do expose this security concern)
• The server isn't accessible outside of localhost. Other folks on your network won't be able to browse it via your internal IP.

Command line usage

$ yarn global add statikk
$ cd ~/Sites/fidgetspin.xyz
$ statikk

Then head to http://localhost:8080/ to see the contents of ./ served over HTTP.

Command line options

• hidden: allow transfer of hidden files. Defaults to false
• expose: expose server to hosts other than localhost. Defaults to false
• port: custom port. Defaults to 8080

Examples

// Start server at http://localhost:9000 serving ./
$ statikk --port 9000

// Start server at http://localhost:8080 serving ~/Sites/project
$ statikk --port 8080 ~/Sites/project
