This is a part of the Beaker p2p browser project [1]. This server lets you host websites over the Dat protocol with DNS shortnames, as well as HTTPS as a fallback for (let's say) "legacy" browsers.
Happy to answer questions.
EDIT: direct link to the repo https://github.com/beakerbrowser/dathttpd. We also have Prometheus/Grafana integration which is pretty handy; it's currently the easiest way to watch the health of a swarm.
Is Beaker tied to Chromium? It looks that way from the screenshots, which is disappointing as a Firefox user/contributor.
It's a chromium fork, yeah.
Is taking a more secure baseline part of the plan? I'm thinking of https://github.com/Eloston/ungoogled-chromium
