sabo-tabby

Extremely Fast Static File Server


Code Of Conduct BSD-2-Clause ci action status

What is sabo-tabby?

I tend to mirror static files and sites to Tor and other networks but don't want to bother with setting up services or writing a server using a web framework every time.

At the same time, I want the extreme speed and safety of Crystal and a fully customizable experience from error & directory listing pages to logging format.

This is what sabo-tabby is - an extremely fast & customizable static file server.

sabo-tabby is a fork of Kemal but with all the framework parts stripped away.

Benchmarks

Benchmarks, read https://github.com/GeopJr/sabo-tabby/blob/benchmarks/README.md for full benchmark results

Benchmarks were done using the wrk tool. Please don't take them too seriously, their only use is to show that it is indeed very fast. The frameworks it competes against offer a wide variety of functions and features. All benchmarks are in the benchmarks branch.

Loading custom themes using Crustache

You can create custom themes using Mustache templates.

To set a Mustache file as the theme of error or directory listing pages, just pass it's path to -e or -d respectfully(?) e.g. -e ./error.mustache -d ./pages/dir.html.

A model is passed to each one that contains data about the page:

Error

Model
# The error code
status_code : Int32

# The error message
message : String
Example
<h1>Oops!</h1>
<h2>{{status_code}}</h2>
<h3>{{message}}</h3>

Directory Listing

Model
# The directory that is being listed
request_path : String

# A hash with the items "path" for file name, "file" for whether it is a file or not and "href" for the URI encoded file path
entries : Hash(String, String | Bool)
Example
Dir:
{{request_path}}
<br />
Items:
<br />
{{#entries}}
<a href="{{href}}">
  <b>{{path}}</b>
  <b>{{file}}</b>
</a>
<br />
{{/entries}}
