# teletraan

a static binary-based rootless dockerized web server that is so small, it is effectively braindead, while remaining featureful for most usecases.

the server can run rootless, read-only, and distroless, making it lighter and more secure than nginx. it serves everything in the /data folder

inspired by busybox httpd.

in less than 150 loc, it currently supports:

- gzipped files
- serving single page webapps like cinny nginx-style via the ``-s`` flag
- serving formats other than html as the index with the ``-i`` flag.

it has extremely minimal dependencies, so minimal that you can tack on a crapload of compilation options and use nightly rust without harming binary functionality.

it is compiled with ``panic=immediate-abort``.

## example usage

in a compose file, you can use teletraan to run your static site stack:

```yaml
services:
    site-with-index.txt:
        image: codeberg.org/gigirassy/teletraan:latest
        read_only: true
        volumes:
            - "./site:/data"
        command: "-i" # site made of txt files
        ports:
            - "127.0.0.1:9900:3000"
    spa-matrix-client:
        image: codeberg.org/gigirassy/teletraan:latest
        read_only: true
        volumes:
            - "./cinny:/data"
        command: "-s" # single page app
        ports:
            - "127.0.0.1:9901:3000"
    basic-html-site:
        image: codeberg.org/gigirassy/teletraan:latest
        read_only: true
        volumes:
            - "./basic-html-site:/data"
        # no command: flags needed!
        ports:
            - "127.0.0.1:9904:3000"
```

and then use external caddy or nginx to reverse proxy the host ports.
