Components

Ferron consists of multiple components:

ferron: The main web server.
ferron-passwd: A tool for generating user entries with hashed passwords, which can be copied into the web server's configuration file.

Since Ferron is still a work in progress, installation instructions will be provided once an initial release is available. Stay tuned!

You can clone the repository and explore the existing code:

git clone https://github.com/ferronweb/ferron.git
cd ferron

You can then build and run the web server using Cargo:

cargo build -r
cargo run -r --bin ferron

You can also use Ferron Forge to build the web server. Ferron Forge outputs a ZIP archive that can be used by the Ferron installer.

You can check the Ferron documentation to see configuration properties used by Ferron.
