It listens on port 80 by default, auto‑detects the host IP, and exposes a `\u002Febpf` endpoint where users can upload or reload eBPF bytecode without restarting. The source lives at https:\u002F\u002Fgithub.com\u002Fsu3\u002Fzeroserve and is released under the MIT license. The initial build targets Linux kernel 5.10 and newer, and the README lists a basic benchmark: serving static 1 KB files at roughly 850 kreq\u002Fs on a single‑core VM, comparable to lightweight servers like Caddy.\n\nFor developers who already use eBPF for observability, the ability to script request handling directly in the kernel could eliminate a layer of proxy configuration. It also lowers the barrier for experiments that would otherwise require a full web framework. However, the performance claim rests on a single test case, and the server lacks TLS management, so it fits niche use cases rather than production front‑ends.\n\nIn short, Zeroserve is a tidy proof‑of‑concept that blurs the line between traffic routing and kernel‑level instrumentation, but it remains to be seen whether the trade‑offs pay off beyond hobby projects.","[\"web-server\",\"ebpf\",\"open-source\"]","2026-06-06T14:59:43.000Z","2026-06-06T17:14:43.191Z","2026-06-06T17:17:27.152Z","published",null,[],"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.xyz.onl\u002Farticle-images\u002Fzeroserve-offers-scriptable-zeroconfig-web-server-built-on-ebpf.webp",[26,27,28],"web-server","ebpf","open-source",[30],{"name":31,"url":32},"Hacker News","https:\u002F\u002Fsu3.io\u002Fposts\u002Fintroducing-zeroserve",0]
