Surfer is a Simple static file server. It comes with a commandline tool to upload files from your local folders and a webinterface to manage files directly on the server.

or using the Cloudron command line tooling

cloudron install --appstore-id io.cloudron.surfer 

The app package can be built using the Cloudron command line tooling.

git clone https://git.cloudron.io/cloudron/surfer.git cd surfer cloudron build cloudron install 

Surfer can also be run standlone on any server:

git clone https://git.cloudron.io/cloudron/surfer.git cd surfer npm install npm run build ./server.js <public folder> 

Use the admin tool to manage local users.

The admin interface is available under the /_admin location or you can upload files using the commandline tool.

First, install the surfer cli tool using npm.

npm -g install cloudron-surfer 

Login using your Cloudron credentials:

surfer login <this app's url> 

Put some files:

surfer put [file] 

The e2e tests are located in the test/ folder and require nodejs. They are creating a fresh build, install the app on your Cloudron, perform tests, backup, restore and test if the files are still ok.

cd surfer npm install USERNAME=<cloudron username> PASSWORD=<cloudron password> mocha --bail test/test.js 

git clone https://git.cloudron.io/cloudron/surfer.git cd surfer npm install 

During UI development, the assets have to be built after changes. This can be done automatically with

npm run watch 

While having the ./server.js instance running.
