git clone --recursive https://github.com/HenryChen-CH/Boost-Web-Server.git
Change into the directory:
cd ./Boost-Web-Server
Compile:
make
Tips: When you just change one source file or very few files, you just need to remove the corresponding .o file, and compile again, it will greatly speed up compiling process.
Run:
./webserver <config>
Run tests:
make test
- Build Docker Image
make docker-build
we use static linking to build the binary, so that we can shrink the size of docker image to about 10MB! - Deploy to ec2(make sure using the correct key and server address in Makefile)
make docker-deploy - Visit

You can conveniently add Handler extending function of the server.
- Create your own class. Be sure using .cc .h as file extension
- Your Handler class should inherit RequestHandler class
- Implement all virtual functions of RequestHandler class
- call REGISTER_REQUEST_HANDLER(YourClassName) in header file
- Configure your handler in config file
- All Done, you can compile and run now
listen <port number>;
path /path HandlerName {
HandlerOptions;
}
