GoHost

GoHost is a powerful HTTP server tool for Debian Linux, written in Go. It allows you to host websites, serve files, and optionally enable downloads for non-web files. With built-in support for Serveo and Cloudflared tunnels, you can expose your server to the internet and make it accessible from anywhere.

Features

• Host websites and serve any folder as an HTTP server on Linux.

• Render .html, .htm, .css, and .js files as websites.

• When download mode is off, files can only be viewed in the browser by clicking on them.

• When download mode is on, non-web files can be downloaded by clicking on them.

• Access your server from anywhere using Serveo or Cloudflared tunnels.

• Automatically installs SSH (for Serveo) and Cloudflared if missing.

Compatibility

• Linux (Debian)
