Requirements

A Steam Link (obviously)
SSH access to said Steam Link (How to do just that)

How To Install

Download the archive and extract it somewhere.
Upload everything inside the "Upload" folder to the steam link's filesystem root via SSH. (Mounted or WinSCP etc...)

Usage

To Start:

lighttpd -f /home/steam/http/serve.conf

Note: You may first need to chmod +x /usr/local/sbin/lighttpd

It will now run as a background process until stopped or until the Steam Link is turned off.

To Stop:

pkill lighttpd

See home/steam/http/serve.conf for a basic configuration example.
Refer to https://redmine.lighttpd.net/projects/1/wiki/TutorialConfiguration for more info.

If you factory reset your Steam Link lighttpd-Link will be removed.
Otherwise you can run the fancy uninstall script.

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/fuzzymannerz/lighttpd-Link/master/rmLighttpd-Link.sh && chmod +x rmLighttpd-Link.sh && sh rmLighttpd-Link.sh

To just remove all files apart from the "/home/steam/http" folder:

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/fuzzymannerz/lighttpd-Link/master/rmLighttpd-Link.sh && chmod +x rmLighttpd-Link.sh && sh rmLighttpd-Link.sh keephttp
