fallbaq

A super simple static file server with a focus on fallback to alternate directories. Written in Rust.

fallbaq ./files ./fallback_files /more_fallback_files

Pass a number of directories. Files will be loaded starting from the first, and then from following directories if they aren't present. A 404 will be returned if the file is not found in any directory.

Think of it as layering different folders on top of each other.

Change the port:

fallbaq ./files -p 1337 fallbaq ./files --port 1337

Example:

```markdown

./files

• one.png
• two.png
• bars
  • bar1.png
  • bar2.png

./fallback_files

• one.png
• two.png
• three.png
• bars
  • bar3.png
  • foos
  • foo1.png

/var/www/html

• four.png
• bars
  • bar1old.png
  • bar2old.png ```

Running the following command:

fallbaq ./files ./fallback_files /var/www/html

Will expose a file system that looks like this to requests:

markdown - one.png (from ./files) - two.png (from ./files) - three.png (from ./fallback_files) - four.png (from /var/www/html) - bars - bar1.png (from ./files) - bar1_old.png (from /var/www/html) - bar2.png (from ./files) - bar2_old.png (from /var/www/html) - foos - foo1.png (from ./fallback_files)
