Gopher server for node.js
Very simple and basic implementation that just exposes a file system via Gopher protocol.
To run it from command prompt follow next steps.
-
Because you need a 'mime' module to sniff file types and 'watch' to listen to the directory changes.
npm install mime npm install watch -
To implement full-text search in the directories you need my 'arithmeticIndexer' module.
git clone https://github.com/PastorGL/arithmeticIndexer.js.git ./node_modules/arithmeticIndexer/ -
(Optional) If ROOT_DIR isn't set, then current directory will be used.
SET ROOT_DIR=/path/to/directory/to/expose -
(Optional) System hostname will be used as reported by OS.
SET SERVER=hostname -
(Optional) Default Gopher port is 70.
SET PORT=port# -
And finally
node Gopher.js
Server will output log to a console.
