Very simple http server to expose local files for local http request

Simple HTTP server

Very simple http server in Docker to expose local files to http request, example of such a request

Docker image is available on https://hub.docker.com/r/salvq/simplehttpserver

Steps

1. Create host folder for your files you plan to expose via http server, folder path example /share/Container/simplehttpserver
2. Copy the files to the host folder, example of dump.txt file location

[test@NASEFCasd2 simplehttpserver]$
[test@NASEFCasd2 simplehttpserver]$ pwd
/share/Container/simplehttpserver
[test@NASEFCasd2 simplehttpserver]$ ls -ll
total 67696
-rw-rw-rw- 1 user   everyone             32 2023-08-03 08:23 dump.txt
[test@NASEFCasd2 simplehttpserver]$

4. Host folder /share/Container/simplehttpserver is mapped via docker-run or decoker-compose.yaml below, change it accordingly based on your environment
5. Folder /simplehttpserver must stay unchanged, this docker image folder is used by python script and is linked with your host folder /share/Container/simplehttpserver
6. You may change your exposure ports and network based on your environment

Run server via docker-run

docker run -d \
--name simplehttpserver \
--network=others \
--ip 172.18.5.44 \
--restart=always \
-p 8000:8080 \
-v /share/Container/simplehttpserver:/simplehttpserver \
salvq/simplehttpserver:1.2.0

Run server via docker-compose.yaml

version: '3'
services:
