For when you really just want to serve some files over HTTP right now!

miniserve is a small, self-contained cross-platform CLI tool that allows you to just grab the binary and serve some file(s) via HTTP.
Sometimes this is just a more practical and quick way than doing things properly.

Screenshot

How to use

Serve a directory:

miniserve linux-distro-collection/

Serve a single file:

miniserve linux-distro.iso

Set a custom index file to serve instead of a file listing:

miniserve --index test.html

Serve an SPA (Single Page Application) so that non-existent paths are forwarded to the SPA's router instead

miniserve --spa --index index.html

Require username/password:

miniserve --auth joe:123 unreleased-linux-distros/

Require username/password as hash:

pw=$(echo -n "123" | sha256sum | cut -f 1 -d ' ')
miniserve --auth joe:sha256:$pw unreleased-linux-distros/

Require username/password from file (separate logins with new lines):

miniserve --auth-file auth.txt unreleased-linux-distros/

Generate random 6-hexdigit URL:

miniserve -i 192.168.0.1 --random-route /tmp
# Serving path /private/tmp at http://192.168.0.1/c789b6

Bind to multiple interfaces:

miniserve -i 192.168.0.1 -i 10.13.37.10 -i ::1 /tmp/myshare

Insert custom headers

miniserve --header "Cache-Control:no-cache" --header "X-Custom-Header:custom-value" -p 8080 /tmp/myshare
# Check headers in another terminal
curl -I http://localhost:8080

If a header is already set or previously inserted, it will not be overwritten.

Start with TLS:

miniserve --tls-cert my.cert --tls-key my.key /tmp/myshare
# Fullchain TLS and HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS)
miniserve --tls-cert fullchain.pem --tls-key my.key --header "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload" /tmp/myshare

If the parameter value has spaces, be sure to wrap it in quotes.
(To achieve an A+ rating at https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/, enabling both fullchain TLS and HSTS is necessary.)

Upload a file using curl:

# in one terminal
miniserve -u -- .
# in another terminal
curl -F "path=@$FILE" http://localhost:8080/upload\?path\=/

(where $FILE is the path to the file. This uses miniserve's default port of 8080)

Note that for uploading, we have to use -- to disambiguate the argument to -u.
This is because -u can also take a path (or multiple). If a path argument to -u is given,
uploading will only be possible to the provided paths as opposed to every path.

Another effect of this is that you can't just combine flags like this -uv when -u is used. In
this example, you'd need to use -u -v.

Create a directory using curl:

# in one terminal
miniserve --upload-files --mkdir .
# in another terminal
curl -F "mkdir=$DIR_NAME" http://localhost:8080/upload\?path=\/

(where $DIR_NAME is the name of the directory. This uses miniserve's default port of 8080.)

Use the raw renderer for use with simple viewers

You can pass ?raw=true with requests where you only require minimal HTML output for CLI-based browsers such as lynx or w3m.
This is enabled by default without any extra flags:

miniserve .
curl http://localhost:8080?raw=true

You can enable a convenient copy-pastable footer for wget using --show-wget-footer:

miniserve --show-wget-footer .

Afterwards, check the bottom of any rendered page.
It'll have a neat wget command you can easily copy-paste to recursively grab the current directory.

Use query parameter to do a simple filter

You can pass a ?search=<keyword> query parameter to only show files and directories whose name contains the <keyword>, for example:

miniserve .
# Then visit http://127.0.0.1:8080/src/?search=file

This filter feature is case insensitive.

Take pictures and upload them from smartphones:

miniserve -u -m image -q

This uses the --media-type option, which sends a hint for the expected media type to the browser.
Some mobile browsers like Firefox on Android will offer to open the camera app when seeing this.

How to install

<a href="https://repology.org/project/miniserve/versions"><img align="right" src="https://repology.org/badge/vertical-allrepos/miniserve.svg" alt="Packaging status"></a>

On Linux: Download miniserve-linux from the releases page and run

chmod +x miniserve-linux
./miniserve-linux

Alternatively, if you are on Arch Linux, you can do

pacman -S miniserve

On Termux

pkg install miniserve

On OSX: Download miniserve-osx from the releases page and run

chmod +x miniserve-osx
./miniserve-osx

Alternatively install with Homebrew:

brew install miniserve
miniserve

On Windows: Download miniserve-win.exe from the releases page and run

miniserve-win.exe

Alternatively install with Scoop:

scoop install miniserve

With Cargo: Make sure you have a recent version of Rust. Then you can run

cargo install --locked miniserve
miniserve

With Docker: Make sure the Docker daemon is running and then run

docker run -v /tmp:/tmp -p 8080:8080 --rm -it docker.io/svenstaro/miniserve /tmp

With Podman: Just run

podman run -v /tmp:/tmp -p 8080:8080 --rm -it docker.io/svenstaro/miniserve /tmp

With Helm: See this third-party Helm chart by @wrenix.

Shell completions

If you'd like to make use of the built-in shell completion support, you need to run miniserve
--print-completions <your-shell>
and put the completions in the correct place for your shell. A
few examples with common paths are provided below:

# For bash
miniserve --print-completions bash > ~/.local/share/bash-completion/completions/miniserve
# For zsh
miniserve --print-completions zsh > /usr/local/share/zsh/site-functions/_miniserve
# For fish
miniserve --print-completions fish > ~/.config/fish/completions/miniserve.fish

systemd

A hardened systemd-compatible unit file can be found in packaging/[email protected]. You could
install this to /etc/systemd/system/[email protected] and start and enable miniserve as a
daemon on a specific serve path /my/serve/path like this:

systemctl enable --now miniserve@-my-serve-path

Keep in mind that you'll have to use systemd-escape to properly escape a path for this usage.

In case you want to customize the particular flags that miniserve launches with, you can use

systemctl edit miniserve@-my-serve-path

and set the [Service] part in the resulting override.conf file. For instance:

[Service]
ExecStart=
ExecStart=/usr/bin/miniserve --enable-tar --enable-zip --no-symlinks --verbose -i ::1 -p 1234 --title hello --color-scheme monokai --color-scheme-dark monokai -- %I

Make sure to leave the %I at the very end in place or the wrong path might be served.
Alternatively, you can configure the service via environment variables:

[Service]
Environment=MINISERVE_ENABLE_TAR=true
Environment=MINISERVE_ENABLE_ZIP=true
Environment="MINISERVE_TITLE=hello world"
...

You might additionally have to override IPAddressAllow and IPAddressDeny if you plan on making
miniserve directly available on a public interface.

Binding behavior

For convenience reasons, miniserve will try to bind on all interfaces by default (if no -i is provided).
It will also do that if explicitly provided with -i 0.0.0.0 or -i ::.
In all of the aforementioned cases, it will bind on both IPv4 and IPv6.
If provided with an explicit non-default interface, it will ONLY bind to that interface.
You can provide -i multiple times to bind to multiple interfaces at the same time.

Why use this over alternatives?

- darkhttpd: Not easily available on Windows and it's not as easy as download-and-go.
- Python built-in webserver: Need to have Python installed, it's low performance, and also doesn't do correct MIME type handling in some cases.
- netcat: Not as convenient to use and sending directories is somewhat involved.

Releasing

This is mostly a note for me on how to release this thing:

- Make sure CHANGELOG.md is up to date.
- cargo release <version>
- cargo release --execute <version>
- Releases will automatically be deployed by GitHub Actions.
- Update Arch package.
