miniserve is a simple tool that allows you to quickly share files from your computer through a web interface. It's perfect for sharing files with friends or colleagues, or for quickly setting up a web server for testing purposes. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install miniserve on NetBSD.
To install and use miniserve on NetBSD, you will need:
miniserve is written in the Rust programming language. Therefore, the first step is to install Rust on your NetBSD system.
To install Rust, open your terminal and run the following command:
pkgin -y install rust
This will install the latest version of Rust available in the NetBSD package repository.
Next, you need to clone the miniserve repository to your machine.
To do that, open your terminal and run the following command:
git clone https://github.com/svenstaro/miniserve.git
This will clone the miniserve repository to your current working directory.
Now that you have the miniserve repository on your machine, you need to build and install miniserve.
To do that, navigate to the miniserve directory and run the following command:
cargo install --path .
This will build and install miniserve.
Now that miniserve is installed on your NetBSD system, you can start it by running the following command:
miniserve
This command will start the miniserve server, and you can access it by opening your web browser and navigating to http://localhost:8080.
That's it! You now have miniserve installed on your NetBSD machine, and you can easily share files with others through a web interface. We hope this tutorial was helpful for you. If you encounter any issues, please refer to the miniserve documentation or the NetBSD documentation.
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!
