cruizba/http-server repository overview

⁠http-server-node-docker (Github repository⁠)

Dockerized version of http-server package of npm with automatic builds

⁠How to run

Go to the directory you want to serve and execute:

docker run -v $(pwd):/public -p 8000:8000 cruizba/http-server -p 8000

To use other ports...

docker run -v $(pwd):/public -p 8123:8123 cruizba/http-server -p 8123

To use basic auth...

docker run -v $(pwd):/public -p 8123:8123 cruizba/http-server -p 8123 --username admin --password secret

Very easy, ¿right?

All the options that can be used are present in the http-server⁠ documentation.

⁠Why

I wanted to have an easy way to spawn http-server to use it temporary to share files by demand. I've also wanted to have automatic builds of new versions of http-server in a docker image because all images I see of http-server does not convince me.
