Written in Go. Uses Bolt (built-in), MySQL, PostgreSQL or Redis (recommended) for the database backend, permissions2 for handling users and permissions, gopher-Lua for interpreting and running Lua, optional Teal for type-safe Lua scripting, http2 for serving HTTP/2, QUIC for serving over QUIC, blackfriday for Markdown rendering, amber for Amber templates, Pongo2 for Pongo2 templates, Sass(SCSS) and GCSS for CSS preprocessing. logrus is used for logging, goja-babel for converting from JSX to JavaScript, tollbooth for rate limiting, pie for plugins and graceful for graceful shutdowns.

Features

  • HTTP/2 over SSL/TLS (https) is used by default, if a certificate and key is given
  • QUIC ("HTTP over UDP", supported by Chromium) can be enabled with a flag
  • index.lua is Lua code that is interpreted as a handler function for the current directory
  • Other files are given a mimetype based on the extension
  • Directories without an index file are shown as a directory listing, where the design is hardcoded
  • The server can be configured by commandline flags or with a lua script, but no configuration should be needed for getting started
