• password: Password for authentication.
• port: Port number to serve. Defaults to 4443.
• host_path: Path which is to be hosted. Defaults to home page.

To host on a public facing URL:

• ngrok_auth: Ngrok token.

Usage

python3 -m pip install fileware

With Threading

from threading import Thread

import fileware


fileware.models.env.port = 4568
fileware.models.env.host_dir = "movies"


if __name__ == '__main__':
    # Initiates the connection and creates a new process if ngrok auth token is valid.
    response = fileware.initiate_connection()
    print(response.url)

    # Runs the server in a thread alongside starting the ngrok process created previously.
    thread = Thread(target=fileware.serve,
                    kwargs={'http_server': response.server, 'process': response.process})
    thread.start()

    # Do your own task here

    # Shutdown the server and join the thread which spun the server up.
    fileware.shutdown(http_server=response.server, process=response.process)
    thread.join(2e+1)

Without Threading - File Server will terminate only when the main process is killed.

import fileware


if __name__ == '__main__':
    response = fileware.initiate_connection()
    print(response.url)
    fileware.serve(http_server=response.server,process=response.process)

Env vars can be loaded by placing a .env file in current working directory.

The serve function can also take arguments which can be used to override env vars.
