An implementation of a webdav server with support for user accounts, and switching uid/gid to those users accounts. That last feature is Linux-only, since the server is threaded and no other OSes have support for thread-local credentials.
Uses PAM authentication and local unix accounts.
This server does not implement logging. For now, it is assumed that most users of this software want to put an NGNIX or Apache reverse-proxy in front of it anyway, and that frontend can implement TLS, logging, enforcing a maximum number of connections, and timeouts.
This crate uses futures 0.3 and async/await, so the minimum rust compiler version is 1.39.
- RFC4918: webdav, full support
- RFC4331: webdav quota support (linux quota, NFS quota, statfs)
- locking support (fake locking, enough for macOS and Windows clients)
- can be case insensitive for Windows clients
- files starting with a dot get the HIDDEN attribute on windows
- optimizations for macOS (spotlight indexing disabled, thumbnail previews
disabled, some light directory caching for
._files) - partial put support
- tested with Windows, macOS, Linux clients
By default the server builds with pam and quota support. If your OS does not support these one of features, use cargo command line options to disable all features and enable only the ones your OS supports.
For example, to build on OpenBSD, which does not have pam:
cargo build --release --no-default-features --features=quota
See the example webdav-server.toml file
There is also an example nginx proxy configuration.
The built-in PAM client will add the client IP address to PAM requests. If the client IP adress is localhost (127/8 or ::1) then the content of the X-Forwarded-For header is used instead (if present) to allow for aforementioned frontend proxies.
