This is a collection of one-liner server. The idea is from this gist. I create this repo because there are more solutions scattered in the comments. It would be better that we have a space to gather them. I appreciate all the contributors to the original discussion thread.
I use the original setting for all the examples. All of them will run the server at port 8000
in your current working directory.
If you have any suggestions, drop them in a new pull request. To get on this list, a solution must:
- serve static files using your current directory (or a specified directory) as the server root,
- be able to be run with a single, one line command (dependencies are fine if they're a one-time thing),
- serve basic file types (html, css, js, images) with proper mime types,
- require no configuration (from files or otherwise) beyond the command itself (no framework-specific servers, etc)
- must run, or have a mode where it can run, in the foreground (i.e. no daemons)
