# Fileserver-gr

A [Wagi](https://github.com/deislabs/wagi) static fileserver written in Grain.

> DeisLabs is experimenting with many WASM technologies right now.
> This is one of a multitude of projects designed to test the limits
> of WebAssembly as a cloud-based runtime. This code is not stable or
> production ready.

## Getting a Binary

We periodically release Wasm modules in binary form. To get the latest, go to the [releases page](https://github.com/deislabs/wagi-fileserver/releases). In the future, we will also publish bindles.

## Building and Running Locally

You will need the [Grain](https://grain-lang.org) toolkit to work with this repo.

To run:

```console
$ make run
```

To compile:

```console
$ make build
```

You can run unit tests with `make test-unit` or full tests with `make test`:

```
$ make test
grain compile fileserver.gr
grain tests.gr
✅ PASS Env.splitEnvVar should parse
✅ PASS Util.reverse should reverse string
✅ PASS Util.lastIndexOf should find Some
===== Expected: =====
Some(19)
======= Got: ========
Some(18)
=====================
⛔️ FAIL UtillastIndexOf should find Some
✅ PASS Util.lastIndexOf should find None
✅ PASS Mediatype.guess should find text/plain
✅ PASS Mediatype.guess should find default type
❌ Total failed tests: 1❌
make: *** [test-unit] Error 1
```

## Running in Wagi

You have two options for running in Wagi:

1. Use [hippofactory](https://github.com/deislabs/hippofactory) to build and push a bindle, then use `wagi -b $YOUR_BINDLE`
2. Write a `modules.toml` file and use `wagi -c modules.toml`.

### Using `hippofactory`

Edit the `HIPPOFACTS` file to taste.

To use `hippofactory`, you can just run this command from the repo root:

```console
$ hippofactory -s http://localhost:8080/v1 .
pushed: fileserver/0.1.0-technosophos-2021.06.03.17.25.54.484
```

Then run it in Wagi like this:

```console
$ wagi -b fileserver/0.1.0-technosophos-2021.06.03.17.25.54.484 --bindle-server http://localhost:8080/v1
[2021-06-03T23:26:54Z INFO wagi] => Starting server on 127.0.0.1:3000

```

### Using `modules.toml`

Here is an example `modules.toml` for [Wagi](https://github.com/deislabs/wagi):

```toml
[[module]]
route = "/static/..."
module = "/path/to/fileserver/fileserver.gr.wasm"
volumes = {"/" = "/path/to/fileserver"}
```

The above configures Wagi to map the path `/static/...` to the `fileserver.gr.wasm` module. Then it serves all of the files in this project.

### Environment Variables

The following environment variables can be passed via Wagi's `-e` flag:

- `CACHE_CONTROL`: The string value of a cache-control header. If not specified, this will set cache-control to `no-cache`. Google recommends setting this value to `CACHE_CONTROL="max-age=31536000"` (cache for up to 1 year).
- Type-specific cache controls can be set using the following env vars (all of which default to `CACHE_CONTROL` if not set):
- `CSS_CACHE_CONTROL`
- `FONT_CACHE_CONTROL`
- `IMAGE_CACHE_CONTROL`
- `JS_CACHE_CONTROL`

### Testing the Static Fileserver with `curl`

This step is the same whether you use Bindle or a `modules.toml`.

Assuming you have Wagi running on `http://localhost:3000`, you can then run this command:

```console
$ curl -v localhost:3000/static/LICENSE.txt
* Trying 127.0.0.1...
* TCP_NODELAY set
* Connected to localhost (127.0.0.1) port 3000 (#0)

```

The fileserver took `/static/filserver.gr`, removed the `/static/` part from the front, and then loaded `fileserver.gr` from the directory mounted in the `modules.toml`. Note that any subdirectories are also served. So `/static/foo/bar` would translate to the path `foo/bar` inside of the WebAssembly module (which in the example above would fully resolve to "/path/to/fileserver/foo/bar").

## Prefixing a Path

`PATH_PREFIX` is an environment variable you can set.
This allows you to add `-e PATH_PREFIX=/some/prefix` as an env var to `fileserver.gr.wasm`.

This will allow the fileserver to set a specific path prefix for files before it looks them up. So instead of doing `http://example.com/static/static/foo.png`, you can set `wagi -e PATH_PREFIX=static/` and then `http://example.com/static/foo.png` will resolve on the filesystem, to `static/foo.png` instead of `foo.png`.

## Security Note

The Wagi fileserver is designed to serve any file mounted in the volume. Do not mount a
volume that contains files you do not want served.
