Pimba is a small and simple CLI tool to easily publish and serve static files.
Binary releases are available. Please, download the suitable binary for your system.
If you have Go installed, you may also build and install it using go get:
$ go get [-u] github.com/signavio/pimba
To serve the Pimba API and the static files, execute:
$ pimba api --storage /path/to/data/storage --secret my-jwt-secret
The flag --secret is mandatory and it's the necessary key for signing
tokens for pushing to the Pimba buckets.
It's also possible to set the port, passing the flag --port <port-number>.
For further help, execute pimba help api.
To push files to the Pimba server, first enter the directory that you would like to publish and execute:
$ cd /path/to/publish
$ pimba push --server pimba.server.host:port --name my-bucket-name
If the flag --name is not passed, Pimba will create a bucket with a random
string as the name.
After you did the first push to your bucket, use the returned token to be able to update the bucket. Execute:
$ pimba push --server pimba.server.host:port --name my-bucket-name --token returned-token
Remember to save your token in a safe place, Pimba doesn't store tokens, thus meaning that if you lose the token the bucket will become inaccessible.
For further help on how to push, execute pimba help push.
It's also possible to have a configuration file for Pimba. Refer to
pimba.yaml.sample and create a config file .pimba.yaml
in your home directory. The configuration file will set defaults
based on your preferences.
$ cp pimba.yaml.sample $HOME/.pimba.yaml
$ vim $HOME/.pimba.yaml #edit as you like
