PHP 8 server for different protocols

Based on Ratchet asynchronous socket library

Features

  • Async connections
  • Multi-host
  • Multi-protocol:
  • Event log
  • Optional:
    • directory listing navigation with safe filesystem access
    • custom index file names
    • custom failure page
  • Simple and flexible server configuration by CLI arguments

Install

  • git clone https://github.com/YGGverse/next.git
  • cd next - navigate into the project directory
  • composer update - grab latest dependencies

Launch

Start

Create as many servers as wanted by providing different type, host, port and other arguments!

  • for security reasons, next server prevents any access to the hidden files (started with dot)
  • also, clients can't access any data out the root path, that defined on server startup

Simple example:

php src/server.php type=nex host=127.0.0.1 port=1900 root=/target/dir

Arguments

Required
  • type - server protocol, supported options:
  • root - absolute path to the public directory
Optional
  • host - 127.0.0.1 by default
  • port - depends of server type by default
  • file - index file name that server try to open on directory path requested, disabled by default
  • list - show content listing in the requested directory (when index file not found), enabled by default
  • time - show file modification time as the alt text in directory listing, disabled by default
  • fail - absolute path to the failure template (e.g. /path/to/error.gmi), disabled by default
  • dump - query log, enabled by default

Autostart

systemd

Following example mean you have next server installed into home directory of next user (useradd -m next)

# /etc/systemd/system/next.service
