Chrome Web Server Alternatives

I use https://github.com/TheWaWaR/simple-http-server and https://github.com/winsw/winsw.

<service>
  <id>witchcraft-server</id>
  <executable>server</executable>
  <arguments>--nocache "D:\GoogleDrive\Dev\witchcraft" -p 5743</arguments>
  <log mode="none"></log>
</service>

I just use a nginx, here is a config for windows:

error_log NUL crit;
pid z:/temp/witchcraft-nginx.pid;

worker_processes  1;
events {
    worker_connections  512;
}

http {
    access_log off;
    
    client_body_temp_path z:/temp 1 2;
    proxy_temp_path z:/temp 1 2;
    fastcgi_temp_path z:/temp 1 2;
    uwsgi_temp_path z:/temp 1 2;
    scgi_temp_path z:/temp 1 2;
    
    include mime.types;
    default_type application/octet-stream;
    charset utf-8;

    sendfile        on;

    keepalive_timeout  60;

    server {
        listen       127.0.0.1:5743;
        server_name  witchcraft;
        
        location / {
            root   ../Witchcraft-mods;
            index  html/index.html;
            
            expires 10s;
            add_header Cache-Control "private";
        }
    }
}

You just need to replace the z:/temp with your temporary dir as nginx config doesn't support environment variables.

If you have NodeJS installed, you can use browser-sync:

#!/bin/bash
npx browser-sync start --server --files --watch --directory --port 5743 --no-open --listen 127.0.0.1 .

Edit: Add --no-open and --listen 127.0.0.1
