Static web server

Linux precompiled binaries

$ brew tap nbari/homebrew-www

next

$ brew install www

To install the port:

$ cd /usr/ports/www/go-www/ && make install clean

To add the package:

$ pkg install go-www

Because of the need to share, test via HTTP the contents of a directory.

By typing www will start a web server and use as a document root the directory where the command was call, a different document root may be specified by using the -r option, for example:

$ www -r /tmp

By default www listen on port 8000, this can be changed by using the -p option:

$ www -p 80 (may need root privilages)

If TLS is required use the option -s and a domain name, for example:

$ www -s example.com

This will try to get a valid certificate by using letsencrypt but the port will always be 443

When using the -s use https option on the browser.

Example using tls and document root on port 8080:

$ www -s localhost -r /tmp -p 8080
