cserve

A C++ based, extendable multithreaded web server with embeded LUA scripting.

Building

There are two builing options:

• local building. Supported are currently
  • OS X Big Sur, Monterey
  • Ubuntu 20.04 LTE
• building in docker

The sipi image is built as statically linked executable. All necessary libraries are being downloaded and built during the build-process of sipi. Therefore an internetconnection is necessary and a full build will take it's time. Cserve needs the following external libraries:

• bz2 (https://sourceware.org/git/bzip2.git)
• Catch2 (https://github.com/catchorg/Catch2/archive/refs/heads/devel.zip)
• crypto (https://www.openssl.org/source/openssl-3.0.0.tar.gz)
• curl (https://curl.haxx.se/download/curl-7.80.0.tar.gz)
• fmt (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt.git)
• lua (http://www.lua.org/ftp/lua-5.4.3.tar.gz)
• lzma (https://tukaani.org/xz/xz-5.2.5.tar.gz)
• magic (http://ftp.astron.com/pub/file/file-5.41.tar.gz)
• spdlog (https://github.com/gabime/spdlog/archive/refs/heads/v2.x.zip)
• sqlite3 (https://www.sqlite.org/2021/sqlite-autoconf-3360000.tar.gz)
• ssl (https://www.openssl.org/source/openssl-3.0.0.tar.gz)
• z (http://zlib.net/zlib-1.2.11.tar.gz)

Local building

Prerequisites

The following packages have to be install locally:

• On OS X: brew install inih (required by exiv2)

• python > 3.9

• for testing (with pip3):

  • pytest
  • psutil
  • requests
  • pyJWT
  • pillow

The following steps have to be made:

• mkdir build
• cd build
• cmake ..
• make
• make install

For testing, the command (in build directory) performs all the tests:

• make test
