gcs-index

Provide auto-index in front of Google Cloud Storage buckets.

Plays well with a caching proxy in front. 😉

Usage

gcs-index path:bucket:prefix [path:bucket:prefix ...]

For each bucket:

• path is the "mount point" in the global tree.
• bucket is the name of the bucket.
• prefix is a prefix to apply to objects when listing (might be empty).

Flags

• -port int: port to listen on (default 8080)
• -socket string: socket to listen on
• -socket-umask int: umask for the socket file (default -1)
• -readme: enable README.md rendering
• -skip-readme: skip README.md in directory listings
• -version-sort: sort directory listings using a semver-aware algorithm
• -v: enable verbose logging

Example nginx caching proxy configuration

http {
  proxy_cache_path  /var/cache/nginx keys_zone=static:10m max_size=1g inactive=1w;

  upstream gcs-index {
    server  unix:/path/to/gcs-index.sock;
  }

  server {
    proxy_cache                    static;
    proxy_cache_use_stale          error timeout;
    proxy_cache_revalidate         on;
    proxy_cache_valid              200 404 1m;
    proxy_cache_background_update  on;

    location / {
      proxy_pass http://gcs-index;
    }
  }
