## What it is
Dufs is a Rust-based command-line file server that serves static files with support for uploading, searching, access control, and WebDAV. It runs as a single binary and is easy to deploy via cargo, Docker, Homebrew, or prebuilt binaries.

## Use cases
- serve a directory over http
- share files with drag-and-drop uploads
- expose a folder via webdav
- run a self-hosted cloud disk
- download a folder as a zip archive
- serve a single page application with static assets
- control read/write access per user and path

## When to choose
- you need a quick single-binary static file server with upload support
- you want webdav access to a directory
- you need simple per-path access control without a full CMS
- you want a lightweight self-hosted file sharing tool

## When to avoid
- you need a full-featured cloud storage platform with user management
- you need multi-node replication or sync across devices
- you need a database-backed media server
