Simple HTTP Server in Go as a Container Image

simple-http-server returns IP address, headers and many other request data. Use this as a test app to to deploy in your servers or practice to deploy. you can use this image in docker or kubernetes based deployments

How it works?

• Starts listening on port 8081 for HTTP traffic
• On every request it returns following things:
  • Request Type
  • Hostname or Host of request
  • Local IP of Container
  • Remote IP
  • All Request Headers
  • And Environment Variable called YOUR_ENV
  • optionally mount html dir to /dist/html to serve html pages

How to use it?

• I've hosted this image on Docker Hub or you can build it yourself if you want to.

  docker run --rm -p 8081:8081 pareshpawar/simple-http-server

• Optionally, forward port via your proxy or load balancer.

To Do

• Make std output/logs colored and pretty 😅
• Serving html file as output on /html/ endpoint
• create github actions for docker image build
• Add Environment Variable to switch text output to html output
• Serve a html pages from a external directory
• Add volume Env var to serve volume as http dir
