tarserver

tarserver

tarserver can serve files directly from tar archives over HTTP.

How to build

tarserver is written in Go. You need golang 1.2+ to build it. In most cases simple go get is enough to get, build and install it:

go get github.com/Babazka/tarserver

How to run

bin/tarserver --listen=:8089 --base-location=/files --root=/www

Files located in /www directory will be served from http://localhost:8089/files/<filename.tar>/<path inside the archive>. Optionally you can specify read blocksize in bytes using -blocksize.
