macrobean
Macrobean is a self-contained, single-binary web server designed for simplicity, security, and portability. It can serve static files, execute dynamic Lua scripts, query SQLite databases, and handle TLS (HTTPS) traffic without requiring any external runtimes, libraries, or configuration files. It's built for developers who need to deploy simple web applications quickly, hobbyists hosting a personal site, or anyone who values a minimal, dependency-free toolchain.
Macrobean is a deliberate rejection of the accidental complexity that plagues modern software deployment. It champions the idea of a self-sufficient artifact: a single, executable file that is the entire application. There are no external runtimes to install, no package managers to appease, and no dependency trees to audit. Deployment is scp. Rollbacks are mv.
This is achieved by combining a minimal C web server with a Lua interpreter, a SQLite engine, and the application's assets, all within a single file.
