zenStream

An usable File Stream Server using Deno!

Zen Config JSON file

This file is used to simplify zenStream Server usage

Example1: Files stored in the Working Directory

{
    "port":2630,
    "root":"/public",
    "externalPath":false,
    "hostname":"127.0.0.1"
}

Explanation:

• port -- used to set portnumber
• root -- the file directory you need to serve from
• externalPath -- this flag sets if Deno should Serve files from it's Current Working Directory or from an external Path
• hostname -- the hostname for the server

Example 2: An External File Path

{
    "port":2630,
    "root":"/Videos/",
    "externalPath":true,
    "DRIVE_LETTER":"E",
    "hostname":"127.0.0.1"
}

Explanation:

• externalPath is set to true here, which means Deno will now assume the files are not stored in the Current Working Directory.
• root -- the root in this config is set from the very root of the external path, as in the DRIVE_LETTER defines the HardDrive (or partition) and root is the address from there.
• here root is set to be "/Videos/" and DRIVE_LETTER is set to be "E", which means the path from deno will serve the files will be "E:/Videos/"

to Run the Server!

to run the server simply use,

deno run -A main.ts

Note

the -A flag is used to allow all permissions to the server, from files to network discovery and such. Please refer to Deno documentation to learn more

Tip

Additionally you can use flags like --watch or --watch-hmr to update the runtime to reflect changes without needing manual restart, learn more here
