About:
dufs is a lightweight, secure static file server that supports serving files from a local directory over HTTP. It features a clean web UI for browsing and uploading files, along with robust CLI options for customization. Its simplicity and portability make it an ideal tool for quick file sharing without complex setup.
Key Features:
  • Single binary with zero dependencies
  • Secure file upload and download with optional authentication
  • Clean, responsive web UI for file browsing
  • Supports HTTPS and proxy headers
Use Cases:
  • Quickly sharing files between machines on a local network
  • Serving static websites or build artifacts for development
  • A simple alternative to complex cloud storage for temporary data
Alternatives:
  • python3 -m http.server – Built-in but lacks features like file uploads, HTTPS, and a modern UI.
  • caddy – More powerful web server, but heavier and more complex for simple file serving.
