cd /some/dir && python -m http.server 8080

python3 -m http.server -d /path/to/dir

Don’t forget 8080. http.server binds on port 8000 by default :].

Why is 8080 more likely to be available than 8000?

Don’t worry, it’s a misunderstanding.

    mini_httpd -p 8080   # and no need to install a whole python interpreter

most people will have python installed already, but not mini_httpd.

docker pull nginx
