Midman

Midman is a tool for hosting static file on server.

Why use Midman

I used to use VPS for transfering some files that was blocked. Then use python -m SimpleHTTPServer <port> for hosting these files. But SimpleHTTPServer is unstable. The Midman is a replacement. It's based on Node.js, make you could manage the server proccess with PM2.

Requirements

• Node.js >= 4.0

Installation

Git way

 
$ git clone https://github.com/djyde/midman.git
 

NPM way

 
$ mkdir midman && npm install
 

Usage

 
$ cd midman 
 
$ cd midman/node_modules # if using NPM way 
 
$ npm install
 
$ node index.js # pm2 start index.js -n Midman 
 

Configure

You can configure port, dir and hostname in config.js

 
{
  dir // The folder where the static files are. Default is ~/Midan
  port , // The port will be listen. Default is 1024
  hostname  // for copying file link
}
 

TIPS

We recommend you using pm2 to manage your Node proccess. It makes your server more stable.
