Connectivity Test Server

A simple HTTP server for connectivity testing. It can be run from the command line or in a container.

The Python version relies only on Python's standard library, so it should work in any environment with Python installed. The Node.js version also relies only on the standard library, so it should work in any environment with Node.js installed.

It displays a simple HTML or plain-text page with the client's IP address and any detected X-* headers.

Usage

Command Line

To run the server from the command line:

python3 ok-server.py
python3 ok-server.py --look basic
python3 ok-server.py --bind 127.0.0.1 --port 8080 --look bootstrap

--look accepts basic, nice, or bootstrap. You can override the look per request with the look query parameter, for example:

or

node ok-server.js
node ok-server.js --look basic
node ok-server.js --bind 127.0.0.1 --port 8080 --look bootstrap

Connect to the server using a web browser or a tool like curl:

curl -si "http://localhost:8000"

Docker

Use the included Dockerfile to build and run the server in a Docker container:

docker build -t ok-server .
docker run --rm -d --name ok-server --cpus=1 --memory=256m -p 8000:8000 ok-server

Container CLI on a Mac

container builder stop
container builder start -c 4 -m 1G
container build -t ok-server .
container run --rm -d --name ok-server -c 1 -m 256m -p 8000:8000 ok-server

This will start the server and expose it on port 8000.
