Sven,

I love this app but is it slow because of using it via Podman - 58 JPGs uploading is taking forever . .

Thanks!

Phil.

Hey Phil,

I think miniserve isn't the limiting factor here. I was able to push around 10 GBit in a benchmark so perhaps you're just hitting the limits of your connection?

I admit the upload feedback could be improved.

Wow! - thanks for the lightning response!

Well I am using it via a Zero Tier connection but it is on the same LAN (ATM) so it should be fine . . I will try it via the normal LAN IP and see if that makes a difference - oh now that I think about it - I think ZT will be slower . . let me check . .

Ah yes - it is ZT that is slow . . sorry - I should have thought of that . .

Thanks again for a brilliant little app - I will have to look at the src to see how it works!

It just occurred to me that trying to understand how miniserve works might be a good way to start learning Rust? - what do you think? - overkill?

Would you have time to add summary / overview text to the different modules that would help newbies who want to contribute to get past the "Hello World!" stage? When I looked at the source code I was a bit surprised about how much there was of it for such a little program . .

I would recommend learning Rust by writing smaller programs of your own first so you can better familiarize yourself with the syntax. Then you could write your own little web server using async. At that point you'll be much more familiar with Rust.

Miniserve source code is already somewhat documented if you scroll through it. There could probably be more of it but I don't have time to add any but I'd be happy to accept contributions.

Just did another test with my brother (we have trouble finding mutually convenient times) and we found a different problem:

Selecting more than two or three files resulted in a 403 error with: "Duplicate file found and override not setup" or words to that effect on his iPhone . . but I can't reproduce the problem on my Android phone . .
