Out of curiosity, are there alternatives to this that are already well established or distributed? For example, something you'd get in debian linux?


https://caddyserver.com/ is implemented in Go, production-ready, and easy to setup with a one-liner (though personally I would use official binaries or compile from source rather than use the builds from a distro package manager)


apache? nginx? Serving static content off the file system is braindead simple.


What's the zero-config way to temporarily spin up an instance of Apache or Nginx that serves my current directory? The way Debian does this out of the box seems significantly higher-ceremony than that.


python -m http.server


Doesn't support HTTPS out of the box, unfortunately.
