spark

Emergency web server

For those occasions when your webserver is down and you want to display a quick maintainance note. Or just want to quickly demo a static site. Or whatever :)

It can take a directory, a file or directly the body string.

❯ spark -h
Usage of spark:
  -address="0.0.0.0": Listening address

  -key="key.pem": SSL private Key path
  -sslPort="10433": SSL listening port
  -status=200: Returned HTTP status code

examples

$ spark message.html
$ spark "<h1>Out of order</h1><p>Working on it...</p>"
$ spark static_site/
$ spark -port 80 -sslPort 443 "<h1>Ooops!</h1>"

To quickly generate a ssl certificate run:

go run $GOROOT/src/crypto/tls/generate_cert.go --host="localhost"

go get github.com/rif/spark

crossbuild

Just run ./crossbuild.sh (needs go 1.5 or later). It also compresses the binaries with upx, comment those lines if you don't need compression.
