It sits in the modern single-binary file-server niche rather than the full web-server niche. ### Project history The release stream began in May 2022 and moved rapidly from v0.1.0 through a long 0.x series. The README describes a utility file server focused on static serving, uploading, searching, access control, WebDAV, and straightforward CLI invocation. Dufs kept accumulating practical file-sharing features without becoming a general reverse proxy or application server. Its CLI exposes direct flags for binding, ports, auth, path prefixes, TLS files, logging, SPA rendering, CORS, archive downloads, and shell completions. ### Adoption history Dufs is distributed through Cargo, Docker, Homebrew, GitHub release binaries, and package-manager entries such as Alpine, MacPorts, Nix, Scoop, and Winget. That spread reflects the usual adoption path for modern Rust CLIs: crate first, then binary and package-manager convenience. ### How it is used A common workflow is running dufs in a directory for read-only serving, then adding -A for full upload/delete/search/create/edit operations or --auth rules for per-path permissions. The built-in HTTP API also supports curl uploads, downloads, deletes, directory creation, moves, hashes, health checks, and resumable transfer patterns. ### Why package nerds care Dufs is notable because it packages a surprising amount of ad hoc file-sharing behavior into one portable binary. For package users, it is the kind of tool that replaces a quick Python http.server, a temporary nginx config, or a small WebDAV daemon when convenience matters more than full server infrastructure. ### Timeline - 2022: v0.1.0 published and early releases shipped rapidly. - 2024: v0.42.0 and v0.43.0 showed the project had become a mature feature-rich utility server. - 2025: v0.44.0 and v0.45.0 continued active releases. - 2026: v0.46.0 released with the project still maintained. ### Related projects - Python's http.server is the minimal built-in comparison for quick static serving. - miniserve and darkhttpd are adjacent lightweight file/static servers. - WebDAV servers overlap with Dufs when upload and remote filesystem access matter. ### Sources - - - ## Security Notes broad file, network, media, or database tool signal. - **Geiger risk:** blue / medium - broad file, network, media, or database tool signal ## Source Database Details - **Source Database:** Homebrew formula API - **Tap:** homebrew/core - **Full Name:** dufs - **Version Scheme:** 0 - **Revision:** 0 - **Bottle Stable Root URL:** - **Deprecated:** no - **Disabled:** no - **Keg Only:** no - **URL Keys:** stable ## Other Package-Manager Records - Nix - dufs: normalized package name match | nixpkgs package indexes: pkgs/by-name/du/dufs/package.nix from https://api.github.com/repos/NixOS/nixpkgs/git/trees/master?recursive=1 - apk - dufs - 0.46.0-r0: normalized package name match | Alpine Linux edge package indexes: dufs from https://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/edge/community/x86_64/APKINDEX.tar.gz | A file server that supports static serving, uploading, searching, accessing control, webdav... | https://github.com/sigoden/dufs - apk - dufs-bash-completion - 0.46.0-r0: normalized package name match | Alpine Linux edge package indexes: dufs-bash-completion from https://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/edge/community/x86_64/APKINDEX.tar.gz | Bash completions for dufs | https://github.com/sigoden/dufs - apk - dufs-doc - 0.46.0-r0: normalized package name match | Alpine Linux edge package indexes: dufs-doc from https://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/edge/community/x86_64/APKINDEX.tar.gz | A file server that supports static serving, uploading, searching, accessing control, webdav...
