miniserve is a simple static file server written in Rust. It is an easy-to-use tool that allows you to quickly share files and directories over the internet using a web interface.
In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing miniserve on Clear Linux.
Before you begin, you should have the following:
miniserve is written in Rust, so you will need to have Rust installed on your system before you can install miniserve.
To install Rust on Clear Linux, you can use the following commands:
sudo swupd bundle-add rust-basic
This command will install the Rust toolchain on your system.
To install miniserve, use the following commands:
cargo install miniserve
This command will download and install miniserve on your system.
To verify that miniserve has been installed correctly, run the following command:
miniserve --help
This command will show the help output for miniserve. If you see the help output, then miniserve has been installed correctly.
To use miniserve to share files, navigate to the directory you want to share, and run the following command:
miniserve
This will start the miniserve web server, and it will provide you with a URL that you can use to access your shared files from any browser.
By default, miniserve only allows connections from localhost. If you want to allow connections from other hosts, you can use the --bind option:
miniserve --bind 0.0.0.0:8080
This command will bind miniserve to all network interfaces, and it will listen on port 8080.
In this tutorial, we have shown you how to install miniserve on Clear Linux using Rust. With Miniserve, you can easily share files and directories over the internet using an intuitive web interface.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
