A small HTTP/HTTPS file hosting webserver made in Java.
Users access the site and can download the files within the list provided.
The folder the server gets its files from to give to the user is hardcoded in the "./data" folder (users can change the code to where they would prefer).
By default the server opens on port 3000 (on HTTPS it is 443), I will make it changeable via commandline argument soon.
Internally, there is a n-ary tree to represent the file system, each folder/file has a value associated with it and the tree is represented as FNodes (File Nodes).
Create jks from server keys and cert using:
openssl pkcs12 -export -in server.crt -inkey ca.key -inkey server.key -out testkeystore.p12
keytool -importkeystore -srckeystore testkeystore.p12 -srcstoretype pkcs12 -destkeystore server.jks -deststoretype JKS
It was a utility project I thought of so I can have some of my files "on the cloud" which does not depend on other cloud services. It is primarily useful since there are no limits for how big the file sizes can be (while many cloud filesharing services restrict sizes or need payment for such features). Users can make their own instance and have their own data to share with others or personal use when not on their main machine.
In your preferred terminal.
- git clone this repository.
- In the JserveMe directory (the cloned repo), run
javac com/serv/*.java - Finally, run the output with:
java com/serv/HTTPServer -cp ./com/serv;
For files in the data folder that are larger than a gigabyte, the code reads the file in blocks of ~1GB.
So, it is recommended to increase the heap size to 3-4GB. It can be done by running with params: java -Xms5120M -Xmx5120M -cp ./com/serv; com.serv.HTTPServer
With that, the server is up and running! You can access it via entering localhost:3000 in your preferred browser.
To access the server from another device on the same or different network enter in your browser: IPV4:3000 or [IPV6]:3000 with the "IP" being the router's public IP V4/V6 address.
Alternatively, you can have it hosted and associated with a domain name.
None! This server was written in plain java 8+.
