README
Ferron - a fast, memory-safe web server written in Rust
* * *
## Features
- **High performance** - built with Rust’s async capabilities for optimal speed.
- **Memory-safe** - built with Rust, which is a programming language offering memory safety.
- **Extensibility** - modular architecture for easy customization.
- **Secure** - focus on robust security practices and safe concurrency.
## Components
Ferron consists of multiple components:
- **`ferron`**: The main web server.
- **`ferron-passwd`**: A tool for generating user entries with hashed passwords, which can be copied into the web server's configuration file.
## Building Ferron from source
You can clone the repository and explore the existing code:
```sh
git clone https://github.com/ferronweb/ferron.git
cd ferron
```
You can then build and run the web server using Cargo:
```sh
cargo build -r
cargo run -r --bin ferron
```
You can also use [Ferron Forge](https://github.com/ferronweb/ferron-forge) to build the web server. Ferron Forge outputs a ZIP archive that can be used by the Ferron installer.
## Server configuration
You can check the [Ferron documentation](https://www.ferronweb.org/docs/configuration) to see configuration properties used by Ferron.
