Gopher.js

Gopher server for node.js

Very simple and basic implementation that just exposes a file system via Gopher protocol.

To run it from command prompt follow next steps.

• Because you need a 'mime' module to sniff file types and 'watch' to listen to the directory changes.

    npm install mime
    npm install watch
  

• To implement full-text search in the directories you need my 'arithmeticIndexer' module.

    git clone https://github.com/PastorGL/arithmeticIndexer.js.git ./node_modules/arithmeticIndexer/
  

• (Optional) If ROOT_DIR isn't set, then current directory will be used.

    SET ROOT_DIR=/path/to/directory/to/expose
  

• (Optional) System hostname will be used as reported by OS.

    SET SERVER=hostname
  

• (Optional) Default Gopher port is 70.

    SET PORT=port#
  

• And finally

    node Gopher.js 
  

Server will output log to a console.
