Installation

$ go get github.com/callmekatootie/simple-server

This should automatically download the repository and install the application. The application executable should now be located in your $GOPATH/bin directory

Ensure that you have included the $GOPATH/bin directory in your command line's PATH variable to use it directly in any directory as a command

Usage

If you have set up your $GOPATH correctly and you have included $GOPATH/bin directory in your command's PATH variable, you should be able to use this as:

$ simple-server [path] [options]

[path] defaults to the current working directory (./)

You can find a list of supported flags / options by executing the command as:

$ simple-server -h

The allowed flags / options are:

-p Specify a port for listening to connections (default is 8080)
-a Specify an address to bind the server to (default is 127.0.0.1)

Example:

$ simple-server -a 127.0.0.1 -p 8082

will set up a server that can be accessed at http://localhost:8082
