Overview ¶
Host is a basic file server suitable for hosting static websites using portal.
Host serves index.html in place of the directory name and optionally serves directory listing pages.
You can password protect a directory using HTTP basic auth by placing a .passwords file in the directory containing username:password_hash lines for each authorized user. Passwords in subdirectories are recursively added on top of the list from the parent directory. Password hashes must be compatible with ask.systems/daemon/tools.DefaultCheckPassword. To generate a password hash you can use host -hash_password. Be careful about who has write access to .passwords!
Install host standalone with:
go install ask.systems/daemon/host@latest
You can also use host as a subcommand of the combined ask.systems/daemon binary.
