Description

Kestrel serves as a versatile web server for ASP.NET Core applications, being the default server integrated into project templates. It provides support for various protocols including HTTPS and HTTP/2, though the latter is not available on macOS, and facilitates WebSockets through an opaque upgrade feature, along with Unix socket support for enhanced performance when operating behind Nginx. This web server is compatible with all platforms and versions that .NET Core accommodates. Developers must be aware that some browsers necessitate explicit permission to accept the local development certificate, and project templates are pre-configured to utilize HTTPS by default while also integrating HTTPS redirection and HSTS features. Kestrel offers specific configuration options that are particularly beneficial for deployments exposed to the internet, with distinct connection limits for those upgraded from HTTP or HTTPS to other protocols, such as during WebSocket requests. Notably, the server has a default limit for the maximum request body size set at approximately 28.6 MB, or 30,000,000 bytes, ensuring efficient handling of requests. Additionally, the flexibility of Kestrel allows developers to fine-tune these parameters according to their application's specific requirements.

Description

The installation process is straightforward and automated, with all configurations set up in advance, ensuring that it consumes minimal memory and CPU resources while being capable of handling multiple requests at the same time; root access is not required, but it can be used if desired, and the service is entirely free with no advertisements. This makes it an exceptional choice for an Android web server, although it is crucial to ensure that the internal memory is at least 50MB. The server bundle includes Lighttpd 1.4.34, PHP 5.5.9, MySQL 5.1.62, MSMTP 1.4.31, phpMyAdmin 4.1.10, and Nginx 1.5.11, providing a comprehensive environment for web development. Remember to initiate the server before making any configuration changes to avoid issues.
