It was written more like as an exercise on writing simple server applications in OCaml, but actually is powering the author's gopherhole at [hoi.st](gopher://hoi.st) as a single set-and-forget static binary with zero host-side dependencies. + +## Building + +OSmol is expected to be built using the (POSIX-compatible) Makefile supplied in the repo, which, in turn, requires installing [musl-gcc](https://wiki.musl-libc.org/getting-started.html) and two packages from Opam: +``` +opam install ocaml-option-static ocaml-option-flambda +``` + +Of course, if you need other options, you can tweak the Makefile or build OSmol with the toolchain of your choice. The only module dependency here is `unix.cmxa` which comes with any OCaml installation. + +## Usage + +Run `./osmol --help` to see all command-line options. As of now, they are as follows: + +- `-p`: the TCP port to listen on. Defaults to 70. +- `-d`: the root directory where your content resides. Defaults to `.` (the current working directory). +- `-i`: the name of the file that must be present in all directories you want to make directly accessible. Without this file, the directory selector cannot be opened. Defaults to `index.map`. + +The files whose name is customizable with the `-i` switch usually follow standard Gophermap format. + +You can also run Osmol as a daemon, logging its start and other output (not much at the moment), for example, like this: +``` +nohup ./osmol -d ./content -p 70 </dev/null 2>&1 | logger & +``` + +## Limitations + +- No CGI or search selectors support (by design). +- No Gopher+ selector support (by design). +- No directory autoindexing (all maps must be created with other tools or by hand). +- No SSL/TLS support (use Traefik or other reverse proxy to enable it). + +## Credits + +Created by Luxferre in 2023, released into public domain. + +Made in Ukraine. +\ No newline at end of file diff --git a/osmol.ml b/osmol.ml @@ -0,0 +1,67 @@ +(* + OSmol: simple static Gopher server in OCaml + Uses the same logic as Gofor-LX in Python + Created by Luxferre in 2023, released into public domain +*) + +let listen_port = ref "70" (* server port *) +let root_dir = ref "."
