iServer

Basic fileserver written in go

This is a basic file hosting server for accessing and downloading files from a directory. It also support ignore file which follows mainly gitignore rules (except sub/multilevel gitignore file).

Usage

./iServer -p <port> -d <directory_name>

Default port is 8080 and default directory is the directory from which the programm is called.

All available options are:

• -i - ignore file (default is ".ignore")
• -p - define port (default is "8080")
• -d - directory (default is ".")
• -h - show help message
• -v - verbose output
• -V - show version

Install Golang in Rpi

https://akashrajpurohit.com/blog/installing-the-latest-version-of-golang-on-your-raspberry-pi/

#!/bin/bash

VERSION=1.21.1

## Download the latest version of Golang
echo "Downloading Go $VERSION"
wget https://dl.google.com/go/go$VERSION.linux-armv6l.tar.gz
echo "Downloading Go $VERSION completed"

## Extract the archive
echo "Extracting..."
tar -C ~/.local/share -xzf go$VERSION.linux-armv6l.tar.gz
echo "Extraction complete"

## Detect the user's shell and add the appropriate path variables
SHELL_TYPE=$(basename "$SHELL")

if [ "$SHELL_TYPE" = "zsh" ]; then
    echo "Found ZSH shell"
    SHELL_RC="$HOME/.zshrc"
elif [ "$SHELL_TYPE" = "bash" ]; then
    echo "Found Bash shell"
    SHELL_RC="$HOME/.bashrc"
elif [ "$SHELL_TYPE" = "fish" ]; then
    echo "Found Fish shell"
    SHELL_RC="$HOME/.config/fish/config.fish"
else
    echo "Unsupported shell: $SHELL_TYPE"
    exit 1
fi

echo 'export GOPATH=$HOME/.local/share/go' >> "$SHELL_RC"
echo 'export PATH=$HOME/.local/share/go/bin:$PATH' >> "$SHELL_RC"

## Verify the installation
if [ -x "$(command -v go)" ]; then
    INSTALLED_VERSION=$(go version | awk '{print $3}')
    if [ "$INSTALLED_VERSION" == "go$VERSION" ]; then
        echo "Go $VERSION is installed successfully."
    else
        echo "Installed Go version ($INSTALLED_VERSION) doesn't match the expected version (go$VERSION)."
    fi
else
    echo "Go is not found in the PATH. Make sure to add Go's bin directory to your PATH."
fi

## Clean up
rm go$VERSION.linux-armv6l.tar.gz

Building

To build the executable you need to install go compiler and make first. Then clone the repository and run in the repository

make

Or to build manually run

go build

However for optimized binary size and cross compiling for amd64 and arm64 architecture use of make to build is recommended.

Roadmap

• add basic file servering
• add directory listing
• support for custom port and folder
• add support for ignore file
• add column for file modification date
• add download button for each file
• add support for sorting files and directories
• add service file for linux
• make deb package
