Goldilocks
==========
The node.js webserver that's just right.
A simple HTTPS static file server with valid TLS (SSL) certs.
Comes bundled a valid certificate for localhost.daplie.me,
which is great for testing and development, and you can specify your own.
Also great for testing ACME certs from letsencrypt.org.
Install
-------
```bash
# v2 in npm
npm install -g goldilocks
# master in git (via ssh)
npm install -g git+ssh://git@git.daplie.com:Daplie/goldilocks.js
# master in git (unauthenticated)
npm install -g git+https://git@git.daplie.com:Daplie/goldilocks.js
```
```bash
goldilocks
```
```bash
Serving /Users/foo/ at https://localhost.daplie.me:8443
```
Usage
-----
Examples:
```
# Install
npm install -g git+https://git@git.daplie.com:Daplie/goldilocks.js
# Use tunnel
goldilocks --sites jane.daplie.me --agree-tos --email jane@example.com --tunnel
# BEFORE you access in a browser for the first time, use curl
# (because there's a concurrency bug in the greenlock setup)
curl https://jane.daplie.me
```
Options:
* `-p <port>` - i.e. `sudo goldilocks -p 443` (defaults to 80+443 or 8443)
* `-d <dirpath>` - i.e. `goldilocks -d /tmp/` (defaults to `pwd`)
* you can use `:hostname` as a template for multiple directories
* Example A: `goldilocks -d /srv/www/:hostname --sites localhost.foo.daplie.me,localhost.bar.daplie.me`
* Example B: `goldilocks -d ./:hostname/public/ --sites localhost.foo.daplie.me,localhost.bar.daplie.me`
* `-c <content>` - i.e. `server-https -c 'Hello, World! '` (defaults to directory index)
* `--express-app <path>` - path to a file the exports an express-style app (`function (req, res, next) { ... }`)
* `--livereload` - inject livereload into all html pages (see also: [fswatch](http://stackoverflow.com/a/13807906/151312)), but be careful if `<dirpath>` has thousands of files it will spike your CPU usage to 100%
* `--email <email>` - email to use for Let's Encrypt, Daplie DNS, Daplie Tunnel
* `--agree-tos` - agree to terms for Let's Encrypt, Daplie DNS
* `--sites <domain.tld>` comma-separated list of domains to respond to (default is `localhost.daplie.me`)
* optionally you may include the path to serve with `|` such as `example.com|/tmp,example.net/srv/www`
* `--tunnel` - make world-visible (must use `--sites`)
Specifying a custom HTTPS certificate:
* `--key /path/to/privkey.pem` specifies the server private key
* `--cert /path/to/fullchain.pem` specifies the bundle of server certificate and all intermediate certificates
* `--root /path/to/root.pem` specifies the certificate authority(ies)
Note: `--root` may specify single cert or a bundle, and may be used multiple times like so:
```
--root /path/to/primary-root.pem --root /path/to/cross-root.pem
```
Other options:
* `--serve-root true` alias for `-c` with the contents of root.pem
* `--sites example.com` changes the servername logged to the console
* `--letsencrypt-certs example.com` sets and key, fullchain, and root to standard letsencrypt locations
Examples
--------
```bash
goldilocks -p 1443 -c 'Hello from 1443' &
goldilocks -p 2443 -c 'Hello from 2443' &
goldilocks -p 3443 -d /tmp &
curl https://localhost.daplie.me:1443
> Hello from 1443
curl --insecure https://localhost:2443
> Hello from 2443
curl https://localhost.daplie.me:3443
> [html index listing of /tmp]
```
And if you tested <http://localhost.daplie.me:3443> in a browser,
it would redirect to <https://localhost.daplie.me:3443> (on the same port).
(in curl it would just show an error message)
### Testing ACME Let's Encrypt certs
In case you didn't know, you can get free https certificates from
[letsencrypt.org](https://letsencrypt.org)
(ACME letsencrypt)
and even a free subdomain from <https://freedns.afraid.org>.
If you want to quickly test the certificates you installed,
you can do so like this:
```bash
goldilocks -p 8443 \
--letsencrypt-certs test.mooo.com \
--serve-root true
```
which is equilavent to
```bash
goldilocks -p 8443 \
--sites test.mooo.com
--key /etc/letsencrypt/live/test.mooo.com/privkey.pem \
--cert /etc/letsencrypt/live/test.mooo.com/fullchain.pem \
--root /etc/letsencrypt/live/test.mooo.com/root.pem \
-c "$(cat 'sudo /etc/letsencrypt/live/test.mooo.com/root.pem')"
```
and can be tested like so
```bash
curl --insecure https://test.mooo.com:8443 > ./root.pem
curl https://test.mooo.com:8843 --cacert ./root.pem
